3.1. Pathway 1For applicants who do not have a relevant Australian VET qualificationSuccessful applicants in the licensed occupations will be issued with an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR). The OTSR is sufficient evidence to apply for a provisional licence with Australian state and territory licensing authorities. For OTSR holders who wish to progress to a current, identified Australian occupational licence and be awarded the relevant Australian VET qualification, Australian context gap training and a period of supervised employment will be required. The gap training covers Australian-specific knowledge such as workplace health and safety regulations, codes of practice and other Australian standards. For further information refer to the Licensing page on the TRA website. If successful, you will receive an outcome letter. If unsuccessful, the RTO will provide you with the outcome documentation, including information about any identified skills gaps and referral information to existing training programs to upskill and improve your employability in the occupation. |
