Skills Pass

The Skills Pass

The Skills Pass is an official verification framework established by the Government of Malta and governed by [Subsidiary Legislation 409.22](LEGISLATION MALTA). It is designed to formally recognize the competencies of skilled professionals within the Tourism and Hospitality industry, enabling them to seek employment in Malta’s sector. In accordance with Article 4 of SL 409.22, the only valid certification is the Certificate of Full Skills Pass Achievement, which is issued exclusively via the official Skills Pass Portal.

The Skills Pass Process

The verification process is split into two phases.

  • Phase One

    Candidates will register on the online platform. Once registered they will be able to purchase the necessary online verification modules that will need to be completed to work in Malta. These include an English Proficiency Test, Basic Maltese Tourism Product course and exam, Essential English for Hospitality course and exam, Basic Customer Care course and exam as well as verification in their chosen field of work.

  • Phase Two

    Once phase one is successfully completed and the certificate has been issued, the candidate will be able to apply for an online verification interview (taking place at your nearest VFS centre or at ITS in Malta) where an assessor will be able to verify the skills shown in phase one.

The verification processes will verify the minimum basic level required to work in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry in Malta.
