Certificate IV in Training and Assessment – TAE40122

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 within the formal Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector in Australia, using nationally recognised Training Packages.

Successful completion of the TAE40122 will equip participants with the skills to:

  • Operate within the regulatory framework for Australia’s VET sector
  • Analyse nationally recognised Training Packages and units of competency
  • Design and develop training plans for nationally recognised units of competency
  • Plan, prepare and deliver training sessions to individuals and groups
  • Develop and implement work-based learning pathways for individuals
  • Plan and conduct assessments against nationally recognised units of competency
  • Identify and apply foundation skills resources, strategies and advice to vocational training and assessment

The TAE40122 qualification is appropriate for those who conduct training and assessment as a substantial proportion of their job role (or those who 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 selected units, or TSA’s Course in Field-based Training and Assessment.  Please contact Training Services Australia for advice in this regard.

Course Duration

The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is self-paced comprising 5 discrete modules of varying duration (outlined below), totalling 20 days of face-to-face training.  There is no set timeframe for attending the modules.  However, most students are comfortable undertaking the program over 6 – 18 months

Assessment requirements

As the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a competency-based qualification, students are required to do more than just attend the training. They also need to provide evidence that they have acquired the requisite knowledge and skills and have competently applied these in their workplace.

This requirement means it is not possible to complete all of the assessment requirements in the classroom.

The study commitment for the TAE40122 is substantial.  The time needed will depend on factors such as the student’s previous experience of training and assessment, their previous experience of study, and their mastery of technology as well as how quickly they commence assessments after they have attended the requisite modules.  As a rough guide, students will likely need to invest the same amount of time completing their post-course workplace assessment as they spend on the classroom component of the course.

Assessment methods

Students are required to complete assessment tasks in their workplace for each module they undertake. Satisfactory completion of all assessment tasks is required before a credential can be awarded.  Examples of the assessment methods typically associated with the assessment tasks include:

  • Short answer questions
  • Direct observation and video observation of students delivering training, giving presentations and conducting simulated assessments
  • Review of documentation developed by students (e.g., training plans, VET professional development plans, etc)
  • Review of documentation completed by students (e.g., assessment tools, foundation skill strategies, etc)

Some assessment tasks are based on case study scenarios while others require application of competency in the students’ workplace context.
