Certificate IV in Training and Assessment – TAE40116

certificate iv training and assessmentQualification Overview

The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is aimed at those who are required to design and deliver training and assessment services within the formal Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector in Australia, using nationally recognised Training Packages.

Successful completion of the TAE40116 will equip participants with the skills to:

  • Analyse nationally recognised Training Packages and units of competency
  • Design and develop learning programs for nationally recognised units of competency
  • Plan, prepare and deliver training sessions to groups
  • Develop and implement work-based learning pathways for individuals
  • Plan, organise and conduct assessments against nationally recognised units of competency, including development of assessment tools

Most people undertaking the TAE40116 qualification will conduct training and assessment as a substantial proportion of their job role (or will be aspiring to such a role). Those performing 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 us for advice in this regard.

Please note: This course is for new participants. If you already hold the TAE40110 and are looking to update your qualification, you need to visit our TAE40116 upgrade page.

Is this the latest version?

TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment has recently been superseded by but is equivalent to, TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. Currently, the TAE40116 remains the minimum requirement for VET Trainers and Assessors working at RTOs, along with its successor, the TAE40122 version.

Assessment requirements

The TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a competency-based qualification. This means that in order to attain the qualification, students need to do more than just attend the training. They also need to provide evidence that they have understood the training, acquired the skills and knowledge and applied them effectively in the workplace.

This requirement means that it’s not possible to complete all of the assessment requirements during the face-to-face phase of the training.

Assessment methods

Students are required to complete a set of structured assessment tasks for each module they undertake. Satisfactory completion of all assessment tasks is required before a credential can be awarded. Examples of the evidence typically requested from students as part of their assessment tasks include:

  • Answers to questions demonstrating students’ knowledge and application of the required knowledge
  • Completion of case studies
  • Direct observation of students delivering training and conducting assessments
  • Review of training and assessment documentation developed by students on-course and in the workplace
  • Completion of workplace-based tasks / projects which require students to apply the relevant competencies in the workplace
  • Third party observation of students delivering training and conducting assessments
