What is Skill Test
A skill test is the corresponding performance test based on the occupational skill standard which must be demonstrated by every individual to obtain a “NATIONAL SKILL CERTIFICATE” indicating that the certificate holder meets the requirement of a trade/occupation.
Target Group of Skill Test:
Occupational/Trade skill tests are open to all skilled workers and crafts persons. Principally, skill testing reaches out to three different target groups:
- pass-outs from pre-employment vocational training wishing to facilitate their transition to work
- experience workers (employed or unemployed) lacking an official certification
- workers who, at the end of in-service training, seek an upgraded or additional certificate.
