Cert Hero specialises in helping overseas qualified tradespeople complete the full Australian skills assessment process with confidence and accuracy. Led by a real tradesman who has personally undergone VETASSESS assessment, gap training, and full Australian certification, we provide expert guidance grounded in lived experience. We handle everything; evidence portfolio preparation, all communications and submissions with assessment authorities, technical interview and practical assessment preparation, employer reference collection, OTSR guidance, and gap-training coordination, ensuring your international trade skills are recognised quickly, correctly, and without stress. All documentation will soon be managed through our dedicated client portal for a streamlined, organised, and transparent assessment experience.
Your Complete Pathway to VETASSESS Approval & Australian Trade Recognition
Before starting your overseas skills assessment, Cert Hero conducts a thorough eligibility review to ensure you meet the requirements for your specific trade. We analyse your international experience, qualifications, and work history to identify which assessment pathway applies to you, including VETASSESS, Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), or relevant industry bodies. Our process ensures you understand what evidence is required, what gaps may need addressing, and how to position your experience for the best possible assessment outcome.
Technical Interview & Practical Assessment Preparation
Preparing for your technical interview or practical assessment is one of the most important stages in your overseas skills assessment, and at Cert Hero, you get expert guidance from a qualified tradesman who has personally been through the Australian certification process. We provide tailored coaching to help you understand exactly what Australian assessors look for, including safety expectations, trade specific competencies, tools, equipment, and industry standard procedures. You’ll receive structured practice questions, competency checklists, and real world insight to help you perform confidently under assessment conditions. Whether your trade requires an interview, a technical demonstration, or a full practical assessment, Cert Hero ensures you walk in fully prepared, compliant, and capable, giving you the best chance of gaining your Australian recognised qualification.
Documentation Management & VETASSESS Submission Support
Cert Hero provides complete end-to-end support for your documentation and VETASSESS submission. We manage all paperwork, prepare and submit your application, communicate directly with VETASSESS, and ensure your evidence portfolio is presented correctly to avoid delays or rejections. If required, we can even collect references from your previous employers on your behalf, building a strong and credible background of your international experience. With our expert guidance, your documents are organised, accurate, and aligned with the assessment standards expected for your trade.
Gap Training, OTSR Support & Next Steps Toward Australian Registration
Once you receive your Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR), Cert Hero continues to support you through gap training, RPL assistance, and the final steps toward obtaining your full Australian trade qualification. We explain exactly what post assessment training is required, help you enrol with the right RTOs, and provide guidance through the entire process until you meet Australian licensing standards. Our goal is to ensure you move seamlessly from assessment to registration so you can begin your Australian trade career sooner, with full confidence and industry ready credentials.
