Here are the steps you'll need to take when applying for a Skills Certificate.

1. Go to Ministry responsible for issuing the certificate, in the case of Trinidad and Tobago that would be Ministry of Foreign Affairs and produce the following documents:

• Valid form of national Identification
• Documents supporting qualifications in the approved category or
• Documents showing job experience in the respective category
• Birth certificate of dependents if accompanying
• Marriage certificate only if spouse is accompanying

2. The Ministry refers the application to the Committee or the body responsible for approving the skills certificate

3. The Committee will liaise with either the body responsible for recognizing qualifications e.g. the accreditation Council of T&T or the Ministry with responsibility for the particular field e.g. in case of media workers, the Committee will liaise with the Ministry of Information

4. Based on the advice in 3 the Committee will approve the issuance of the certificate

These are general guidelines from COHSOD and may differ among Member States. A general procedure will be issued from the Secretariat at the end of the Week.
