Entry requirements

If you would like to enter this program, you must be able to demonstrate vocational competency in your proposed teaching and assessing area. Vocational competency is defined as broad industry knowledge and experience, and may include, but is not limited to, holding a relevant unit of competency or qualification.

Work required

You will need to complete assessment tasks after the face-to-face component of the course and are free to submit your work as soon as it is completed. You will have a maximum of 9 months from your course start date to submit Part 1 of your assessment tasks. Once Part 1 has been marked as satisfactory, you will receive and work on Part 2 TAE40122 Assessment Tasks. You will have 3 months to submit Part 2. For a better indication of how long this course may take you to complete, please partake in our pre-course questionnaire by clicking here.

Feedback has suggested that average to excellent computer skills along with VET experience can greatly lower the time spent on assessments.

Note there is no requirement for you to complete assessment tasks in a workplace. All assessments are scenario-based, although you are given the option in several assessments to draw from your place of work and your own experience in the creation of learning plans, session plans and training materials.

Preparation for Day 1

Day 1 will commence with you being immersed in training and assessment of one of the TAE units - HLTAID009 Provide CPR. At the conclusion of the CPR class you will move into the TAE training room and the rest of your TAE course will begin.

There are two online learning modules that need to be completed prior to Day 1.
