ASET PRODUCTION TRADE TESTS

Each Production Trade Test consists of an online knowledge test and practical task based assessment and takes around 2 hours to complete. On completion of the tests, both employers and technicians will know exactly where they are with respect to their occupational competency and whether additional coaching or on-the-job training is required.
