The content of the PTEX Examinations is based on the national skill standards for each. The skill standard includes work-oriented information (such as critical work functions, key activities and performance criteria for the work to be performed) and worker-oriented information (such as the technical, academic and employability knowledge and skills needed to perform the work).
