- Assessing authority: Trades Recognition Australia (TRA)

The skills assessment & RPL pathway for Wall and Floor Tiler
For a Wall and Floor Tiler (ANZSCO 333411), TRA conducts the migration skills assessment via the Offshore Skills Assessment Program or the onshore Job Ready Program. TRA generally seeks a qualification comparable to a Certificate III in Wall and Floor Tiling and current, verifiable tiling experience evidenced by employer references, photographs and payslips.
The VET qualification and the migration assessment are separate. RPL through an RTO can recognise your existing skills with a qualification, but the TRA migration skills assessment independently evaluates your skills and employment for visa purposes. In some states, tiling work above a set value or contracting unsupervised requires a building or trade licence — confirm the requirement in the state where you will work.
