For employers tired of re-testing on site

Tested on the work,
not on the paperwork.

A certificate proves someone attended. A trade test proves they can weld the joint, fix the steel or run the machine. We test against your scope before a profile reaches you — and arrange your own test if you would rather see it yourself.

  • Certificates verified
  • You can test them yourself

What we supply

What testing actually means here

Built from your scope — Rahat International

01

Built from your scope

We take the tasks your crew does daily and build the test around them, rather than running a generic trade check and hoping it maps.

Practical, not theoretical — Rahat International

02

Practical, not theoretical

The candidate does the work — a weld, a fix, a wiring run, a machine cycle — and is graded on it, with the result reported either way.

Certificates checked — Rahat International

03

Certificates checked

Trade certificates, licences and experience letters verified with the issuing body or previous employer, not accepted at face value.

Your own test arranged — Rahat International

04

Your own test arranged

Many employers want to see it for themselves. We arrange in-person testing at our premises, or on video with your engineer watching.

Questions

Before you
get in touch.

Anything not answered here, ask us directly — the form takes less than a minute.

What does a trade test actually involve?

The candidate performs tasks taken from your job description, assessed by someone who knows the trade, against criteria agreed with you. For welders that may be a test coupon to a specified procedure; for a carpenter, shuttering set to a tolerance; for an operator, a machine cycle under observation.

Can our engineer watch the test?

Yes. Employers test candidates at our premises in person, or watch on video while our team runs the test. Several clients fly in for selection and run the whole shortlist in a day.

What if a worker still underperforms on site?

Tell us quickly and specifically — which task, which standard. If the test missed something, we change the test. Replacement is governed by the terms agreed in writing before deployment.

Do you test unskilled and helper categories too?

They are assessed differently: fitness, understanding of instructions, previous site experience and references. We do not pretend a helper has been trade tested, because that claim would not survive first contact with the work.

I am a worker looking for a job — can I apply through this form?

No. This page and this form are for employers, contractors and recruitment partners placing a requirement. Individual job applications sent through it are not processed.
