Who should attend?

The Cert IV in Training and Assessment is pitched at those who 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 this 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.

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, learners are expected to access, read and interpret Training Packages (via the internet), develop and document learning programs and assessment tools, present information, facilitate in a number of contexts using a range of skills, and prepare various records and documents electronically.

Learners 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:

Candidates undertaking this qualification are expected to have access to an operating training and assessment 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.

Qualification description

The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40110) Qualification, forming part of the nationally endorsed Training and Assessment Training Package (TAE10) represents a significant evolution in the provision of quality training and assessment. Successful completion of the 'Certificate IV in Training and Assessment' will equip participants to:

  • analyse nationally recognised Training Packages and units of competency
  • plan, prepare and deliver training to individuals and groups against nationally recognised units of competency
  • develop and implement work-based learning pathways
  • plan, organise and conduct assessments against nationally recognised units of competency, including the development of assessment tools

The qualification would generally benefit people who hold considerable responsibility for training program development and delivery, as well as for designing and conducting assessments.

TSA's training workshops are designed to stimulate active participation to ensure vital skills and techniques are mastered, and transferred to the work environment.
