About Trade Assess Australia

Trade Assess Australia is Orange College’s skills assessment service, drawing on our long-standing experience in Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) sector.

With extensive experience in the VET sector, Orange College has delivered VET programs for both domestic and international students, with a strong focus on quality training delivery, student support, and industry relevance. Trade Assess Australia builds on that foundation to provide an assessment experience that is structured, transparent, and evidence-focused. Based in Port Melbourne, our team is familiar with trade workplace expectations and brings a strong, quality-assured approach to assessment delivery.

Trade Assess Australia conducts skills assessments in line with program requirements set by Trades Recognition Australia, including eligibility rules, evidence requirements, and verification expectations. Our assessments focus on whether an applicant’s skills, knowledge, and employment experience meet the Australian benchmark for their nominated occupation. Depending on the program stream, the assessment process may include a review of documentary evidence, verification activities, a technical interview, and where required, a practical assessment.

What You Can Expect From US

Clear Guidance on Evidence-based Assessment

Skills assessments rely on verifiable evidence. We will guide you on what documents are required, how the assessment stages work, and what makes an application complete and consistent.

TRA uses the term “Decision-Ready” for applications that include the required documents and referee details that can be verified. Preparing your documents and referee contacts upfront helps reduce delays.

Professional
Support

Our team works with applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and understands that this is often the first time someone has gone through a skills assessment. We keep our instructions practical, and we explain requirements in plain English.

Important
Note

We can explain the assessment process and evidence requirements, but we do not provide visa or migration advice. If you are unsure whether you need a skills assessment for your visa pathway, you should confirm requirements with the Department of Home Affairs or a registered migration professional.
