TAE40122
Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (Upgrade from TAE40110 or TAE40116)
Choose how you want to train.
The Delivery Options are:
This self-paced upgrade program has been developed for qualified trainers and assessors currently working in a VET training environment and who hold the superseded TAE40110 or TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification.
While it is currently not a requirement for those who have TAE40116 to upgrade to TAE40122 according to the Standards for RTOs, it is important because it ensures that trainers and assessors are equipped with the latest industry knowledge, skills, and practices required to effectively train and assess learners. Additionally, holding the latest TAE credentials and demonstrating that you have current knowledge and skills in vocational training increases your employability opportunities by being one step ahead!
Keep your qualification up to date for delivering training and assessment services in the vocational education and training (VET) sector or the workplace by enrolling in one of our two delivery options.
Our TAE40116 to TAE40122 upgrade program is offered either via a streamlined Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Transfer process or a combination of a streamlined Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and a 2-Day course via MS Teams to complete projects.
Guidance and support are available every step of the way from our local trainers and assessors. Quality is worth it, and we know you'll appreciate our efforts to make sure any course you study with us is educationally robust, engaging and streamlined.
We offer regular 2-day courses via MS Teams and at various locations - email info@blueprintcd.com.au for more information. We can also come to your organisation to deliver a course.
We're here to help you succeed!
