TAE40122 Certificate IV In Training and Assessment
Trainwest is now delivering the newly released and most current qualification, the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. Endorsed and added to the National Register of VET on 6 December 2023, this qualification is delivered at the Trainwest Training Centre.
Do I Need to Upgrade My Certificate IV in Training and Assessment?
The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is equivalent to the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, in that the occupational outcome is deemed the same. The majority of the units of competency are non-equivalent meaning gap training will be required to upgrade.
The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is deemed the ‘successor’ to the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, with no requirement to upgrade at this point in time.
For those that hold the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, plus the TAELLN411 Address adult language, literacy, and numeracy skills unit, and the TAEASS502 Design and develop assessment tools unit, these credentials still meet the requirements to train and assess under the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (2015).
Trainwest recommends as best practice for those holding the TAE40110 to upgrade to the TAE40116 as soon as possible.

VET Reform and the Proposed Changes to the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (2015)
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) is undertaking Quality Reforms including the revision of the Standards for Registered Training Organisation (2015).
The Standards for RTOs determine the trainer credentials required to deliver and/or assess nationally accredited training products.
The estimated date for implementation of the new Standards is 1 January 2025.
In the current draft form, the Standards identify that trainers and assessors can hold the following credentials to deliver and assess:
- TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (its successor which is the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment)
- The TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment plus the two units TAELLN411 Address adult language, literacy and numeracy skills, and TAEASS502 Design and develop assessment tools (or previous equivalent versions of these two units)
- A diploma or higher-level qualification in adult education
DEWR have advised that there will likely be a one-year transition from the current Standards to the new Standards.
The Draft Standards for RTOs can be viewed on the DEWR website
If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this affects you, please contact Trainwest.
What about Skill Sets?
The release of the TAE Training Package in December introduced new and updated Skill Sets.
For those wishing to conduct assessment in the VET sector, the TAESS00011 Assessor Skill Set its successor is required. The TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set is deemed as the Assessor.
Our next five day course commences 8 May in Belmont. This Skill Set is a great introduction to the National Register of VET, conducting assessment and participating in validation.
If you are seeking to deliver nationally accredited training under supervision, the TAESS00014 Enterprise Trainer-Presenting Skill Set its successor is required.
Trainwest are delivering the TAESS00028 Work Skill Instructor Skill Set, the successor to the TAESS00014, from June 2023.
Please contact Trainwest to register your interest.
What is a ‘Third Party Arrangement’?
Not all businesses have the required resources to become a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). When compliance is not your core business, the value in becoming a RTO is questionable, particularly when considering all those non-revenue generating hours.
A third party arrangement or “partnering” with a RTO involves establishing a formal relationship between two entities to collaborate on the design, development, and delivery of training and assessment services to learners.
In a partnering arrangement, the RTO works closely with the partner to understand their training needs and to develop customised training programs that meet those needs. The partner may provide input into the content of the training materials, the delivery methods, and the assessment processes to ensure that the training is relevant and effective for their specific industry or company.
In this arrangement, the RTO is responsible for ensuring compliance in all aspects of the training delivery, including that the training is of a high quality and meets the requirements of the training package or qualification.
The third party may also provide additional support to learners, such as mentoring or coaching, to help them apply the skills and knowledge gained from the training in their workplace.
Partnering with a RTO can bring a number of benefits to both parties.For the RTO, partnering can help to expand their business and reach new markets. At the same time it can help to gain valuable insight into the training needs of different industries and organisations.For the partner, partnering can provide access to high-quality training and assessment services that are tailored to their specific needs, which can improve the skills and productivity of their employees.
It’s important for both parties to have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities in the third-party arrangement. This is documented in a formal agreement that outlines the scope of the training program, the delivery methods, and the assessment processes.
Overall, partnering with a RTO involves building a collaborative relationship that leverages the expertise and resources of both parties to deliver high-quality training and assessment services that meet the needs of learners and the partner organisation.
Trainwest expands its reach into Northern WA
Trainwest enjoys long-standing and collaborative relationships with a wide range of businesses that are based in the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia and welcomes to its Perth-based training facilities those who live and work in other parts of WA.
Being away from home, family and work responsibilities while undertaking a training course in Perth can be both personally challenging and costly. For many, it may not be possible to take the time out from family and work life and spend an extended period away from home.
Trainwest recognises these realities and is now bringing a range of its most in-demand courses to the Pilbara and Kimberley. With Western Australia Government support, significant subsidies are available* for the costs of these courses.
In 2023, we will be delivering the following courses on a face-to-face basis in northern WA:
TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
Newman
- 1 to 17 May
- 9 to 25 October
Broome
- 29 May to 15 June
- 6 to 22 November
Karratha
- 17 July to 2 August
Port Hedland
- 14 to 30 August
BSB41419 Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety
Please contact Trainwest for available locations and dates.
We are also offering tailored opportunities for post-course support to those based in the Pilbara and Kimberley regions and who, as a result, are not able to attend the free Support Workshops offered in Perth. Don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] if you would like more information about accessing the support you require to complete your qualification and ultimately achieve your professional goals.
