How will TRA payments work?
To facilitate Online Portal payments, your chosen RTO (Registered Training Organisation) will provide you with an RTO assessment payment identifier code. This code must be used to make payment through the TRA Online Portal for the service you require. For example, a technical assessment, practical assessment, etc.
Intergate Emigration’s role
Your administrator at Intergate will assist you with payment of your skills assessment. Our adviser will establish the RTO to choose during your eligibility assessment and the administrator will facilitate the payment on your behalf on submission of your skills assessment.
