Who should attend? |
Those who have previously completed the Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training (BSZ40198) and who wish to design and deliver training, and design and conduct assessments within the formal vocational education and training (VET) sector (i.e., using nationally recognised Training Packages and accredited courses).
In most cases those undertaking the Certificate IV qualification will conduct training and assessment as a substantial proportion of their job role (or are aspiring to such a role). Those whose job role encompasses only a limited amount of training and assessment may find that they do not require the entire qualification, but could benefit from completing one or more units. Please contact Training Services Australia for advice in this regard.
Note: If you completed the Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training some time ago and have had limited / no responsibility for training and assessment since that time, it is recommended that you undertake the full Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification (rather than the upgrade program).
