Worker preparation

Trade testing and preparation

Practical competence matters on site. Trade testing and preparation are approached as part of the recruitment process, not as an afterthought.

  • Candidate briefing on the role and deployment expectations
  • Coordination of medical, documentation and travel steps

Testing requirements, preparation arrangements and timelines vary by employer, role and destination. The company does not operate a regulated training institution and does not guarantee test results or deployment.
