07 / FAQ
Questions we hear every week.
What is a trade test?
A trade test is a practical skills check before a worker is hired or sent abroad. The candidate does the real job in front of an assessor (for example, welding a 6G pipe coupon or wiring a distribution board) and is marked against the employer's criteria or an international standard.
Which trades do you test?
Welding (SMAW, TIG and MIG up to 6G), NDT Level II, electrical, scaffolding, HSE, steel fixing, masonry, carpentry, pipe fitting, mechanical fitting, CNC, rigging and lifting, crane operation, and light vehicle, heavy vehicle, bus and heavy equipment driving.
Which standards do you test to?
Welders are tested to AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX or API 1104. NDT follows ASNT SNT-TC-1A and ISO 9712. Scaffolding follows CISRS and SG4:15, HSE follows IOSH and NEBOSH, and electrical work follows IEC standards and City & Guilds. Employers can also send their own test criteria or WPS.
Can employers watch the tests?
Yes. Employers and their representatives are welcome to witness tests at the center. Contact us before the test date so we can plan the batch around your visit.
