Why this page exists
Official guidance for the Tourism & Hospitality Skills Pass can change — and, as this guide has already found, official pages don't always agree with each other on the figures involved. Rather than silently editing pages, we record substantive content changes here, including newly discovered discrepancies, so returning readers can see what is new.
Change log
Date:
Re-checked certificate-platform and interview wording. The Tourism & Hospitality certification page and FAQ still point to Blockcerts for certificate issuance and wallet storage, while one general Skills Pass page still names Hyland; the guide continues to state the discrepancy rather than declaring one official page stale. Interview wording also remains inconsistent across official pages, so the guide now gives the more precise 20-minute online/ITS or authorised-centre wording alongside the 30-minute onsite VFS-centre wording and directs readers to their own booking confirmation.
Date:
Re-checked the live official Skills Pass fee pages. The current Tourism & Hospitality fee table now states the Pre-Departure Course at €245, the Tourism and Hospitality Skills Pass at €230 including the €5 booking fee, and the Video Conference Interview with no additional payment. An earlier sentence on the same official page still says candidates book the Phase 2 interview and pay €250, so the guide now treats this as an internal official-page wording conflict rather than a separate fee to add to the total. The separate €230 vs €225/€475 discrepancy across the general Skills Pass pages remains.
Date:
Initial publication of the Malta Skills Pass Guide: homepage, trust pages, and dedicated guides covering who needs the Tourism & Hospitality Skills Pass, registration, login, cost, the sector itself, the published list of excluded roles, the two-phase assessment, and the Blockcerts-issued certificates. At publication, the cost page also recorded a then-unresolved €250 interview-booking wording issue; this was narrowed by the 2026-06-14 re-check above. All sources checked and dated as of this entry; every discrepancy found is documented in full on docs/OFFICIAL_SOURCES.md.
