The Migration Skills Assessment Program is a documentary-based assessment by Trades Recognition Australia that evaluates how overseas applicants' qualifications and employment history compare with Australian standards for their nominated occupation on the skilled migration list.
Important note
Trades Recognition Australia does not award Australian qualifications, occupational registrations, or occupational licences. Applicants must ensure they meet any employment, licensing, or qualification requirements in their nominated occupation. Authorization of a migration agent to act on behalf of the applicant is permitted.
