TAESS00028 Work Skill Instructor Skill Set

TAESS00028

Work Skill Instructor Skill Set

This skill set is designed to provide the necessary skills and knowledge for those who facilitate and conduct work-skill instruction whilst delivering nationally recognised training under supervision in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. This course also includes an Introduction to Vocational Education and Training.

Overview

The TAESS00028 Work Skill Instructor Skill Set provides the skills and knowledge required to deliver training under supervision in a structured work environment.

The nationally recognised skill set covers the following topics:

  • Introduction to Vocational Education and Training
  • Planning and delivering workplace instruction tailored to individuals or small groups
  • Demonstrating practical skills and processes safely and effectively
  • Using communication and presentation skills to engage learners
  • Providing constructive feedback and evaluating learner progress
  • Supporting learners in developing competence within a vocational area.

This skill set may meet workplace or industry requirements where informal training or on-the-job instruction is part of a role. However, the skill set is not a substitute for the full TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, a requirement for delivering and assessing nationally recognised training. Completing this skill set does not qualify the holder to assess competency or issue nationally recognised qualifications.

Assessment Requirements

This competency-based course requires students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge gained through their training. External assessments are completed to provide evidence that students have understood and successfully applied the training in the workplace.

Assessment tasks include:

  • Knowledge-based questions to test understanding
  • Video and audio evidence of practical demonstrations
  • Workplace projects applying learnings in a real-world context.

Canvas LMS
Canvas is a web-based Learning Management System that provides students with 24/7 course access. Students can access learning materials, track their progress, and submit assessments when ready. This allows students to complete tasks independently with the support and guidance of our Trainers and Assessors.

 


 

Skills Recognition

Students may be eligible for recognition of prior learning or credit transfers, reducing the time and cost of their studies.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is an assessment process that acknowledges skills and knowledge acquired through formal, non-formal, or informal learning. This pathway allows students to gain recognition for competencies they have already developed, potentially leading to the awarding of a unit of competency or qualification without additional training.

To apply for RPL, please contact our Student Services Team. They will assess the student’s suitability and discuss the process before sending an application kit.

Credit Transfer
Credit transfer allows students to receive recognition for equivalent units of competency they have successfully completed. This process ensures that students do not have to repeat training for units they already hold.

To apply for credit, students must provide evidence of the completed unit, which may include a qualification certificate or transcript, statement of attainment or USI transcript.

 


 

Course Duration

Students have up to 12 months to complete this course. The time frame for completion varies between students depending on their current job role and pre-existing skills and abilities.

Students can complete the course earlier or extend the duration for up to 18 months if required.
