Exam attempts
Trade Qualifiers have a maximum of four attempts at a written exam and four attempts at a practical exam (if applicable).
Note: Trade Qualifiers who are not citizens or permanent residents have two attempts to pass the written exam and two attempts at the practical exam. Once an individual becomes a citizen or permanent resident, they may contact the SATCC to discuss further attempts.
- A period of three months must pass before a second exam attempt, but trade qualifiers can apply immediately for the exam through MyATC.
- If not successful on a third attempt, trade qualifiers will need to apply for upgrading before the next exam attempt through MyATC and once the prescribed upgrading is completed, they can apply again.
More information on certification exam eligibility is available in the MyATC Knowledge Centre.
