| Do I have a choice of where and when I wish to do the test? |
VETASSESS Statements of Test Score are portable across all participating RTO’s throughout Victoria. This provides candidates the benefit of undertaking one test and submitting your test scores to a number of participating RTO’s.
However, we highly recommend that you book to sit a test at the same venue that you have applied to complete your course. i.e. if you wish to undertake a course at Holmesglen Institute of TAFE, then you should attempt to sit the test at the Holmesglen TAFE as they will receive your test scores automatically.
If you are unable to attend the test on the dates schedule for your course provider , you are welcome to undertake the test elsewhere however, your Test Scores will NOT be sent automatically to Holmesglen TAFE, and you will need to make arrangements to provide a copy of your Statement of Test Scores to Holmesglen TAFE yourself.
