Breakdown of the Three Training Streams

The Subclass 407 Training Visa offers three distinct training streams. Each stream is tailored to different applicant needs and professional goals:

• Occupational Training for Registration - This stream is for individuals who need to complete workplace-based training to gain, maintain, or renew professional registration, licensing, or membership. It ensures applicants meet industry or regulatory standards required to practice in their chosen occupation.
• Occupational Training to Improve Skills (Skill Enhancement) - This stream provides structured and tailored training in an eligible occupation. It is designed for applicants who already have relevant qualifications or work experience and want to enhance their existing skills, knowledge, and professional competency in a real workplace environment.
• Occupational Training for Capacity Building Overseas - This stream supports overseas professionals who require additional training for their roles abroad. It covers practical training for overseas qualifications, participation in government-supported workforce development programs, and structured professional development opportunities that strengthen capacity in overseas industries.
