Direct answer
Which roles need the Malta Skills Pass?
The Tourism & Hospitality Skills Pass applies to specific occupations at MTA-licensed establishments. Five occupations are on the published covered list; several other commonly-asked-about roles are not. Find your role below for the official occupation name and what the assessment covers.
Covered occupations
These roles map directly onto the five published covered occupations. Each guide gives the exact occupation name to select during Phase 1 registration.
Roles often asked about (not on the published list)
These roles are not among the five published covered occupations. That does not always settle the question — the official excluded-roles list is described as non-exhaustive — so each guide explains what is known and how to confirm your specific situation.
Frequently asked questions
01Which roles are covered by the Malta Skills Pass?
The five occupations on the published covered list are Luggage Porter, Receptionist, Bar Waiter, Commis Chef, and Commis de Rang. The role guides below map common job titles (chef, waiter, receptionist, bar staff) to those official occupation names. Roles such as housekeeping, cleaning, and kitchen-helper are not on the published list — the guides explain what that means.
02What if my exact job title is not listed?
The published occupation list is short, so many real job titles do not match it word-for-word. Do not guess your occupation at registration — selecting the wrong one can cause re-assessment problems later. Contact Skills Pass with your actual duties and let them confirm the correct occupation, or whether your role is outside the requirement.
03Does this site register me or issue the Skills Pass?
No. This is an independent guide. It does not register candidates, issue certificates, collect documents, or take payments. Registration and certification happen only on the official Skills Pass portal.
