Overseas-trained chefs and cooks are essential to keeping Australian club kitchens running, but many are on temporary visas and must complete a formal Skills Assessment to remain in Australia.

CTA Training Specialists has recently been approved under the Australian Government’s Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) panel to deliver official Skills Assessments for chefs and cooks. This allows us to support your staff through the assessment process required for permanent residency or the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa pathway.

Losing a valued team member due to a failed or delayed Skills Assessment isn’t just frustrating; it directly impacts service, staffing, and revenue in an already tight labour market.

The process begins with a Documentary Evidence Assessment, where applicants must provide extensive proof of identity, qualifications and work experience, often more than 30 documents. Errors or gaps can lead to delays, additional costs, or unsuccessful outcomes.

How we help:

CTA Training Specialists offers a complimentary pre-assessment review of your staff member’s documents, helping identify gaps early and improving their chances of success. There is no cost to your club, and all Skills Assessment fees are paid directly to TRA by the applicant upon submission.

As an approved TRA provider, CTA Training Specialists delivers:
  • Official, government-recognised Skills Assessments
  • Support across permanent residency and TSS pathways
  • Expert guidance to avoid costly mistakes to the applicant
  • A smoother, more confident assessment experience
