Pre-requisites
No qualifications or previous experience are necessary to participate in this program. However, a relatively high level of reading and writing ability is required, as well as computer skills (internet research and word processing).
For example, participants are expected to access, read and interpret Training Packages (via the internet), develop and document learning programs, assessment plans and instruments, present information, and prepare various records and documents electronically.
Participants are also expected to possess vocational competence in a specific industry / subject / technical area in which they wish to train and assess. |
Access to a practice environment
Those undertaking the TAE40110 are expected to have access to an environment which provides opportunities for practice, for applying skills and knowledge and for undertaking relevant work activities that address the requirements of the units which make up the qualification.
Training Services Australia is not generally able to organise work placements / practice environments for students undertaking this qualification, however we will endeavour to assist students where possible in this regard. |
Delivery method
Each module is delivered by way of a face-to-face, group-based workshop, facilitated by an experienced TSA trainer. This method of delivery enables participants to benefit from the combined experience of their peers. Group sizes are typically in the range of 8 - 15 participants.
TSA's training workshops are designed to stimulate active participation to ensure vital skills and techniques are mastered, and transferred to the work environment. In addition, all participants are provided with a comprehensive Learner's Guide for each module in which they participate. |
Program content
To achieve the qualification, participants need to complete 10 units of competency (7 core units and 3 elective units).
Following careful analysis of the available options, Training Services Australia has designed a training program consisting of the combination of units shown below.

Assessment
The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a competency-based qualification. This means that in order to attain the qualification you need to do more than just attend the training. You also need to provide evidence that you have understood the training and applied it in the workplace.
Assessment methods used for this qualification include:
- Observation of candidates' participation in activities during training workshops
- Direct observation of candidates delivering training and conducting assessments
- Third party observation of candidates delivering training and conducting assessments
- Answers to 'knowledge questionnaires' and to questions demonstrating application of knowledge
- Review of documentation developed by candidates on-course and in the workplace
- Completion of case studies
Depending on your job role, you may be able to complete some parts of your post-course activities during work time. However, please be aware that it is likely you will have to complete parts of it in your own time.
Please note that post-course work needs to be completed within a given timeframe (typically between 2 and 4 months). |
Support
Training Services Australia provides unlimited email and telephone support to all participants throughout the entire program.
We also run assignment support workshops monthly. These provide you with the opportunity to have time away from the workplace to work on your assignments, with support from a TSA facilitator. These workshops may be organised ‘in-house’ by your employer, or you may choose to attend a public workshop at our premises in Mount Lawley (fees apply).
Training Services Australia offers additional one-on-one coaching, at an hourly rate, for those who need it.
We recommend that you organise a support person from your workplace who you can meet with on a regular basis to discuss your progress (e.g., half an hour each fortnight) and from whom you can seek assistance where required. Ideally this person would be your supervisor or a representative from your organisation’s training department. |
Certification
Successful completion of one or more modules (including the post-course assessment) will entitle you to a Statement of Attainment for the units which make up those modules.
When you have successfully completed all four modules, you will be issued with the nationally recognised Qualification. |
Recognition of Prior Learning
If you believe you are already competent in one or more of the areas which make up the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, and you do not wish to undergo further training in these areas, you may wish to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
To be granted RPL, you will need to provide evidence of your competence to a TSA assessor. Evidence requirements typically include work samples, supervisor reports, and answers to theory questions. You will also need to participate in an assessment interview with a TSA assessor, and in some cases the assessor may wish to observe your performance in the workplace.
If you are considering seeking RPL, we ask that you speak initially with your organisation's training coordinator, and then contact a Training Services Australia Training Advisor. They will determine your suitability for RPL and discuss the RPL process in detail before sending you an application kit. You may also wish to refer to the Overview of TAE40110 RPL requirements which provides guidance on the types of evidence you would be expected to provide.
Should you choose to proceed, the following fees will apply:
- $165 application fee. This includes the initial review of your application by a qualified assessor, and a one hour meeting with a qualified assessor. The application fee must be paid prior to the first meeting and is non-refundable.
Plus
- $110 per hour. This hourly rate includes:
- (additional) time spent meeting with the assessor
- time spent by the assessor reviewing evidence you are asked to provide
- time spent by the assessor attending / observing practical demonstrations
|
National recognition
Training Services Australia recognises qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations under the Australian Qualifications Framework. |
