Skill Assessment


Here at TEP we understand that practical, hands on experience is just as valid, and often more valid, then formal qualifications. Unfortunately many government departments, including DIAC (the Department of Immigration and Citizenship), require proof of formal qualifications OR evidence that you have skills equivalent to a certain level of qualification (such as a Diploma or Certificate IV).

At TEP we can help you verify your skills to show that you have the skills equivalent to the relevent qualification. We have qualified Workplace Assessors on staff who not only hold a Diploma in Workplace Training and Assessment, they have diploma or degree level qualifications in the horse industry.

Our assessors can conduct a practical horse assessment at our Clarendon property and provide you with a document verifying your skill level.
