Trade qualification assessment

AMSA does not assess trade qualifications. If you hold a trade qualification not listed in NSCV Part D, you will need to get your trade qualification assessed as equivalent to one. An RTO who delivers one of the qualifications or trades listed in NSCV Part D can perform a recognition of prior learning (RPL).  We will accept a letter of equivalence from this RTO once your trade has been assessed as equivalent.

Please note: An RTO may request you to do a skills gap training.
