A Training Provider (TP) is an organization officially registered on the Skill India Digital (SIDH) platform. Upon registration, a TP receives a unique TP ID, dashboard access, and recognition to participate in the Skill India ecosystem.
Becoming a TP is the first and mandatory step before applying for Training Centre (TC) approval, SSC Affiliation, job role approvals, or any Skill India–aligned training projects.
Important: TP status only creates your institute’s identity on the Skill India platform — it does not authorize training delivery, branding use, or certificate issuance without additional approvals and validations.
The Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) is the intelligent digital platform powering the entire ecosystem. It connects Training Providers, Candidates, Employers, and Assessors in a unified network.
It is the central system used for TP/TC registration, job role approvals, SSC affiliation, batch creation, assessments, and certificate tracking.
SIDH acts as the core backbone of the Skill India ecosystem, ensuring that every institute, trainer, and student is verified, compliant, and traceable under government-approved standards.
TP Registration gives your institute an official Training Provider (TP) ID on the Skill India Digital (SIDH) platform, dashboard access to manage your profile, and visibility as a registered Training Provider.
It also makes you eligible to apply for Training Centre (TC) Registration, SSC Affiliation, job-role approvals, and future Skill India–aligned opportunities.
"TP Registration simply creates your institute’s identity in the ecosystem — further approvals are required to run training, use branding, or issue certificates."
Any legally registered organization involved in education or skill development is eligible to apply for TP Registration.
Organizations such as a college, institute, NGO, trust, society, partnership firm, proprietorship, or company can apply.
The institute must have valid organizational documents like PAN, GST, and registration proof, along with compliance to basic Skill India guidelines.
TC Registration (Training Centre Registration) is the process through which an institute gets its physical training location approved on the Skill India Digital (SIDH) platform.
A Training Centre (TC) is the official venue where Skill India–aligned training, assessments, and batches can be conducted.
When an institute completes TC Registration, its training centre is verified for infrastructure, equipment, compliance, and readiness to deliver approved job roles.
TC Registration is the mandatory step after TP Registration and before delivering any Skill India training.
TC Registration confirms that your institute meets the infrastructure and compliance standards required to run vocational training under Skill India.
To register as a Training Centre (TC), an institute must meet basic Skill India infrastructure and compliance standards.
Properly constructed classrooms (min 200 sq. ft.), SSC-specific labs with tools, separate washrooms, safe drinking water.
Internet connectivity (especially for IT labs), and an Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system (AEBAS).
Qualified trainers per SSC norms, trainer–trainee ratio of 1:30, accessibility for differently-abled candidates.
Cleanliness and housekeeping, CCTV coverage, first-aid and fire-safety setup.
Counselling/placement desk, library resources, power backup. Training Centres are graded (1 to 5 stars) based on compliance.
A Sector Skill Council (SSC) is an industry-led body under Skill India that defines the skills, standards, and job roles required in a particular sector (such as IT, Retail, Beauty, Healthcare, Construction, etc.).
SSC affiliation is essential for institutes that want to offer approved job roles, standardized training, assessments, and nationally recognized Skill India certificates.
Any institute that wants to offer Skill India–approved job roles must meet the basic eligibility for SSC Affiliation, which includes being a legally registered organization (college, institute, NGO, trust, society, partnership firm, proprietorship, or company) and having the required training infrastructure as per the SSC’s QP/NOS standards.
The centre must have qualified trainers as per SSC guidelines, the necessary tools and equipment for the selected job roles, proper classrooms and labs, and must agree to follow SSC-prescribed assessment, certification, and branding rules.
Affiliation is granted only when the institute demonstrates delivery capability per national standards.
