Training and Assessment Resources

Here are some things to think about before deciding to do the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment:

• What experience and knowledge do I already have?
• What are the job roles that I wish to pursue?

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is the qualification necessary for you to work in an RTO, Tafe, Vocational Education and Training provider and many other training, teaching or tutoring positions.  If you are looking for a job that requires either delivering training and or assessing competency, then this qualification is for you.

When you gain this qualification, you will have the skills and knowledge to:

• Plan, develop and design training courses
• Train and deliver to individuals and or groups of people
• Plan and organise assessment material
• Conduct assessment

How is the TAA course delivered?

Virtual e-learning pro: you will get access to your online course content and have scheduled online classes each month consisting of 1 hr lessons and 30 minutes for questions and answers to ensure you understand everything. Your assessment is catered to all styles of learning with a combination of online quizzes and written assessment each having due dates. You  will get access to your assessment once you have attended your online class for the particular unit.

Online self-paced: you will get access to your online course material for 12 months and can start working on the course immediately. All your assessment is written and is attached to the online course material.

What is the difference between the old BSZ40198 Assessor & Workplace Trainer qualification and the new TAA40104 Training & Assessment qualification?

The previous BSZ40198 course contained 8 units that concentrated on training, assessment and review.

The new TAA40104 traqualification contains 14 units and includes the new units about vocational education and training, how to use training packages, facilitation of individual and work-based learning as well as development and participation of assessment tools and validation.

In order to complete the Bridging course, you would need to complete the following eight units: TAAENV401B, TAAENV402B, TAAENV403B, TAADES401B, TAADEL403B, TAADEL404B, TAAASS403B, TAAASS404B.

I have completed the BSZ40198 Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training. Can I get RPL (recognition of prior earning) for this qualification?

Yes, you can. You will enrol in a Bridging course to upgrade your BSZ40198 qualification to the new TAA40104 qualification.

How will I be assessed?

For both of our TAA courses, there are practical requirements. We offer a number of ways to fulfil these requirements. Most of our students choose to either video themselves or have someone they know who is a qualified assessor (already holds the Cert IV in TAA) to observe them for us.

Virtual e-learning pro: You will be assessed in a number of different ways including online quizzes as well as written assignments, where you will need to complete your work and email it to your trainer. The practical units (DELIVERY and ASSESSMENT) have project-based assignments or demonstration components to them which need to be observed by a qualified assessor and then submitted to your trainer.

Online self-paced: There are 10 written assessments, which vary in length. Some units are assessed together. There are practical components in the DELIVERY and ASSESSMENT units, which need to be completed in addition to the homework activities for these units.

Is this course industry specific? Will I be able to train in my specific industry?

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a general qualification, not course specific.

However, you will be able to work with the Training package of your choice throughout your course.
