What is Skill India TP Registration?

Skill India TP Registration refers to the formal process through which an eligible organization registers itself as a Training Provider (TP) — also called Training Partner — on the Skill India Portal / Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), managed under the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE).

This registration is the mandatory first entry point into the Skill India ecosystem. It enables the organization to participate in NSQF-aligned skill development programs, deliver government-recognized vocational training, and later create and accredit Training Centres (TCs) under various schemes.

Important distinction: TP registration alone does not authorize immediate training delivery, use of Skill India/SSC logos, or issuance of government-recognized certificates. Those rights come after subsequent Centre Accreditation, Affiliation for specific job roles, and scheme approvals. 

A Training Provider (TP) is the legal entity (company, trust, society, educational institute, NGO, etc.) that holds overall accountability. Once registered and approved (typically reaching “Deemed Ready” status after desktop assessment), the TP can:

:Create one or more Training Centres (TCs).
:Apply for Accreditation & Affiliation (A&A) or Non-A&A routes.
:Deliver training under flagship schemes such as PMKVY, DDU-GKY, NULM and other MSDE/NSDC initiatives.
:Issue certificates endorsed through NSDC/SSCs and access placement networks, funding linkages (where applicable), and official branding.
