TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

Delivery Methods

Face-to-Face

Face-to-face training for this course is delivered over 13 days and in two clusters, Training and Assessing. Each cluster is required to be completed in order. However, attendance can be split over numerous courses.

Trainwest recommends no more than a two-to-three-month gap to maintain momentum. The clusters are there for flexibility with attendance. This means the course fees cannot be split based on the clustered attendance.

All sessions are delivered at our Trainwest Training Centre.

Virtual Classroom

Students have the option of attending the face-to-face course, or part of it, via video conferencing technology in the form of Microsoft Teams. Students are required to have a computer with access to the Internet.

Inhouse Training

This course can be customised for group training. Delivery can be tailored to suit organisational requirements, with flexible delivery options in the workplace. Please speak with our Student Services Team for more information.

Assessment Requirements

This course is competency-based. Students have assessments to complete externally in the training room, providing evidence that they have understood the training and have applied it to the workplace. This requirement means that it is not possible to complete all the assessment requirements during face-to-face training.

Students are required to complete assessment tasks for each module which typically include:

• Knowledge-based questions demonstrating application of required knowledge
• Video and audio evidence of practical demonstrations
• Workplace projects
• Third-party reports from Qualified Assessors in your workplace.

Canvas, a web-based learning management system, is used throughout the course. Students can access their learning resources and project templates at any time, as well as complete their assessments, including answering knowledge questions and submitting projects.

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.

Resource Requirements

Students are required to bring:

• Laptop that can access the Internet via Wi-Fi, with a USB port and Microsoft Office installed
• Highlighter and folder to store evidence.

We strongly recommend that students familiarise themselves with the YouTube videos provided in the Pre-existing Skills and Knowledge Checklist prior to attending the course.

Support Services

Trainwest provides ongoing support to students throughout the course via email and telephone.

We offer post-course support workshops at no additional charge. This provides students with the opportunity to have time away from the workplace to work on assessments with the support from a Trainwest Trainer and Assessor.

Students have access to 60 minutes of one-on-one coaching, free of charge. Additional one-on-one coaching is available at an hourly rate for those who need it.

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 available for this qualification. RPL is an assessment-based pathway, suitable for those who already have the skills and knowledge in one or more of the areas that make up the qualification and do not wish to undergo further training.

For those considering RPL please speak with our Student Services Team. They will make an initial assessment of suitability and discuss the RPL process before sending an application kit.

Credit Transfers

Trainwest recognises qualifications and statements of attainment issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) and under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

Students who have previously completed any nationally accredited training may include their certificates and transcripts with their enrolment application for credit review.

Certification

Upon successful completion, students will receive the nationally recognised qualification TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, which includes a Testamur and Record of Results certificate.

If students do not complete the full qualification, they will receive a Statement of Attainment for all successfully completed units of competency. This is a progression toward the nationally recognised qualification.
