Frequently asked questions

No. You can register without a passport, without an NIC copy and without an email address. If you do not have a passport yet, we help you apply for one — many of the people who walk in have not applied yet.

Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or fill in the inquiry form on this website. Tell us your name, your WhatsApp number and the trade you are interested in, and we take it from there.

All 25 districts of Sri Lanka. Accommodation and transport are arranged for your training week, so travelling from another district is not a problem.

Experience helps, but it is not required. Many candidates come from related work — mason helper, steel fixer, carpenter, labourer — and others are entering the trade. Tell us what you do now when you register.

One week. Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 each day, hands-on in your trade.

Five construction trades: Tiler, Plasterer, Formwork Carpenter, Finishing Carpenter and Barbender (steel fixer).

Yes. Registration, training, all three assessments and your certificate are available in Sinhala and English.

Accommodation and transport are arranged for your training week as part of how the academy runs its courses. Ask us for the details for your batch when you enrol.

Up to 50 trainees per course. Places are limited, so it is worth contacting us early.

Three: an aptitude test (12 questions, 15 minutes), a personality profile (no time limit), and a trade-skills test (8 questions, 20 minutes). The personality one has no right answers and nothing to fail — it is a profile of how you work, so answer honestly.

If you fall short we tell you exactly where, and re-sits are handled case by case — ask us and we will explain what applies to you.

Yes, on passing. It carries a unique number and a verification QR code, so an employer can check that it is genuine.

Typically a passport copy, an NIC copy, a photograph, police clearance and a medical certificate. The exact list depends on the destination and the employer, and it does change — we keep a checklist for you and tell you what is still outstanding.

We track issue and expiry dates and warn you before a document lapses. A passport that has quietly expired is one of the most common reasons a placement falls through, and it is avoidable.

No. Never upload your passport, NIC or certificates to a website. Bring them to the centre or ask us how to share them safely. This site only sends us a message.

Course fees are confirmed at registration — call or message us for the current fee for your trade. You can pay by cash, bank transfer, card, online slip, eZ Cash or cheque, and every payment gets a numbered receipt.

Yes — a numbered receipt for every payment, whatever method you use. Always ask for it and keep it.

No, and we will not tell you otherwise. We train you, assess you, certify you and submit you to overseas employers through our own in-house agency. The employer makes the final selection. Anyone who promises you a guaranteed job abroad is not being straight with you.

You are shortlisted, and our in-house placement agency submits that shortlist to an overseas employer. We keep your documents current while that happens and tell you where you stand.

A short video of you working — a video CV. With your explicit permission it can be shared with an employer, so they see you on the tools rather than only reading a form. It is optional, and it is your choice.

We record your consent separately for each purpose — processing your data, photographs, a demo video, and sharing your details with the agency — as required under the Sri Lankan Personal Data Protection Act. You can say yes to some and no to others.
