If you are a professional welder and wish to work or settle in Australia, the Welder Skill Assessment is one of the most crucial initial steps. It is a mandatory requirement for applying for skilled visas such as the 482, 189, 190, or 491 visas. This assessment helps prove your competence and ensures that you meet Australian occupational standards.
In this article, we will explore the Welder Skill Assessment in detail—from requirements and procedures to how to prepare your application to ensure success.
The Welder Skill Assessment is the process of evaluating your qualifications, skills, and work experience in the welding trade to ensure you meet the required standards to work in Australia. This process is carried out by government-approved assessing authorities, such as:
TRA (Trades Recognition Australia): The most commonly used authority for trade assessments.
VETASSESS: An alternative for assessing additional technical occupations.
The Welder Skill Assessment is the first step before lodging an application for skilled migration visas.
Mandatory Requirement: It is a prerequisite for obtaining a skilled work visa in Australia.
Proof of Competency: It verifies your skills and experience to Australian employers.
Increased Immigration Opportunities: Welding is on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), making it easier to apply for permanent residency (PR).
You must have at least 3 years of work experience in the welding industry.
If you completed an apprenticeship, the duration may count toward your experience.
Welding certificates or qualifications recognized in Vietnam or internationally.
Proficiency in welding methods such as TIG, MIG, Stick Welding, and a solid understanding of workplace safety.
Minimum language requirement:
IELTS 5.0 (with no band less than 5.0), or
Equivalent PTE score.
The process typically includes 4 main steps:
Confirm that your occupation (welder) is on the eligible skilled occupation list and choose an assessing authority, typically TRA.
You need to submit the following:
Qualifications and certificates: Welding qualification or apprenticeship certificate.
Work experience: Employer reference letters, employment contracts, pay slips.
Evidence of skills: Photos, videos, or project reports showcasing your welding work.
You may be required to take a hands-on skills test either at a test center or online via Zoom.
The interview will focus on welding techniques, safety procedures, and real-world problem-solving.
If successful, you will receive a positive Skill Assessment certificate, making you eligible for skilled visa applications.
To ensure a smooth assessment process, prepare the following:
Qualifications and certificates: Trade certificates, diplomas in welding.
Work experience: Employer references, contracts, and payslips.
Proof of skills: Photos or videos of your welding work.
English proficiency test results: IELTS, PTE, or equivalent.
Personal documents: ID card, passport, and résumé/CV.
Processing time: Typically takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the authority and complexity of your case.
Cost: Assessment fees range from AUD 1,000 to AUD 2,000, depending on the occupation and assessing body.
Simplifies visa application: It’s the essential first step in the skilled visa pathway.
High employability: Welding is a high-demand trade in Australia.
Permanent residency pathway: As welding is on the MLTSSL, it opens doors to PR opportunities.
