Frequently asked questions

How is Vocational Education Teacher assessed for skilled migration?

Vocational Education Teacher — HigherStudy code ENG0002 (internal reference), classified under ANZSCO 242211 — is a trade occupation assessed by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA). Assessment is evidence-based against a nominated qualification — the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122). Whether an individual meets the requirement depends on their own qualifications and work history.

Which TRA programs apply to Vocational Education Teacher?

The pathway depends on where and how experience was gained: PSA (485 (Post-Vocational Education Work)), Job Ready Program (JRP) (189/190/491 and 482/SID), MSA (Permanent skilled (MLTSSL/STSOL)). Each program has its own evidence and experience requirements set by TRA.

Do I still need a skills assessment if I study the course in Australia?

Completing a relevant CRICOS course can support a TRA pathway, but a successful skills assessment is a separate step with its own requirements. The courses listed on this page lead toward the nominated qualification; they are not themselves a guarantee of assessment or a visa outcome.
