When you contact Skills Store Geelong you can make an appointment with one of the consultants. The consultant will provide you with information about the Victorian vocational education and training system, and will then talk with you about your skills.
The consultant will help you identify the skills you already have and how they may be counted towards a nationally recognised qualification. The consultant can then give you a personal referral to a TAFE institute or other registered training organisation to have those skills formally assessed.
Your existing skills and experience may be recognised by a qualification or part of a qualification without you having to repeat training unnecessarily.
All Skills Stores services – including advice, obtaining an initial skills profile and referral to a registered training organisation – are free-of-charge. There may be fees and charges associated with training provided by a registered training organisation to which you are referred.
