Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

* Please see Requirements section before enrolling into this course.

CBD College has devised its own unique TAE40110 Cert IV TAE course. This course has its underpinnings in the constructivist educational models inspired by the observational child-based Montessori and Reggio Emilia models, and refined in the adult sense by the likes of Jerome Bruner. It is far-removed from the rote-learning and lecture-style courses on offer elsewhere in the market. Our course is very much a “learning by doing” course with time given in class to complete most of the assessments. We aim to arm candidates with the practical skills to go out and be engaging and dynamic deliverers of training and to be thorough assessors, whether this be in a TAFE or an RTO or simply in the workplace.

Our TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification is the minimum requirement for a practitioner who is required to design and develop training initiatives linked to national units of competency, Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or associated business.

We are a Nationally Recognised Registered Training Organisation (RTO No. 91399).

Who this course will suit:

This course will suit those who are prepared to allocate 6 consecutive business days and work hard to achieve their qualification. It will not suit those who want a casual approach to learning that spans weeks and months. If you are prepared to work hard to get your qualification quickly, this course is for you.

Entry requirements

Pathways From The Qualification

After achieving TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, candidates may undertake TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment or may choose to undertake TAE70110 Vocational Graduate Certificate in Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Practice.

Work required

Consultation with past students suggests it would be fair to say that there is another 30 or so hours of work outside of class time students should expect to complete their assessment tasks. For students who are prepared to put in a few hours of work each evening whilst the course content is fresh in their minds, this can be decreased. Feedback has also suggested that average to excellent computer skills along with VET experience can also lower the time spent on assessments. We give candidates 6 weeks from the end‐date of their course to submit their assessment tasks.

Pre‐learning

Students will need to complete some Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) online learning prior to attendance and will be given login details after enrolment. This will take approximately 3 hours. The LLN material that students will need to know as part of this qualification is contained in this online learning and students will need to access it in order to answer their assessments.

Computer Literacy

A laptop with Microsoft Office installed is essential for this course (Microsoft Office 2007 or later version for PC, Office 2010 version for Mac).

All assessment documents are written in Microsoft Word.

You will need to be competent using this program. It is essential that if you do not know how to use this program that you seek tuition before your course commences.

The laptop needs to be Wi-Fi enabled so that you can access the internet wirelessly from the training room using our Wi-Fi connection. You will be required to bring a laptop on every day of the course.

CBD College will provide video cameras for students who wish to complete this in their own time during the week of the class. All other training sessions and presentations will be delivered in‐class. Also note that this class is intensive and being a Certificate IV course, the assessment tasks are numerous and students who enrol will need to expect to work hard.
