A Skills Recognition process is where you provide evidence of your skills and knowledge, such as documentary evidence, video evidence, and testimonials on your ability. We will then review this information, visit your workplace and observe you at work to confirm that these skills and knowledge are present and a true reflection of your current abilities and skill set.
