Get your skills recognised in NT

Your interstate and overseas qualifications may be accepted in the Northern Territory (NT).

The Skills Recognition Centre can put you in contact with appropriate skills assessing authorities. Find out more on the Skills Recognition Centre website.

Recognised trades and skills

To find out if your licence, registration, certificate or other authorisation gained in another state is accepted in the NT, go to the Australian Government's Department of Employment and Workplace Relations website.

If your skills are not recognised

If you have moved from another state to the NT and have trade skills but no certificate as proof, you may qualify for trade recognition.

For assessment of trade skills in automotive, metal and electrical occupations, contact the Australian Government's Trades Recognition Australia service.

For contact details and more information, go to the Trades Recognition Australia website.

For skills in other occupations, contact a registered training organisation and ask them for a recognition of prior learning (RPL) assessment.

An RPL assessment can help you to get a job or part of a formal qualification. You can search the list of training organisations and get more information on the Australian Government's Your Career website.
