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. 

1) You will need to complete the CPR online learning prior to Day 1. This should take you no more than 1-2 hours and consists of around 50 multiple choice questions. Day 1 will commence with a CPR class from 8am-10am. HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation is one of the elective units that we have packaged into this qualification.

2) An Introduction to TAE40122 online learning module has been designed to introduce you to the VET Sector where you are likely to be working as a trainer and assessor. This online learning offers you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with important content you will use throughout the course and your assessments. It is an important first step before you join the face-to-face component of the course.

Computer Literacy

An internet-enabled laptop or desktop computer with Microsoft Office installed is essential for this course (Microsoft Office 2007 or later version for PC, Office 2010 version for Mac). 

For remote learning via Zoom, stable internet connection is essential. Your computer will need to be enabled with a camera and microphone (most computers come with these in-built).

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.

Literacy Requirements

There are underlying skill requirements of the TAE Training and Education Training Package.

Candidates are advised that they will need to possess effective language, communications and interpersonal skills and have the ability to write a range of documentation.

Candidates will also be expected to read and interpret training packages, develop and document learning programs, present information, use technology and prepare various records and documents. Furthermore, cognitive skills in planning, research, interpretation, analysis and synthesis form part of the skills requirements of many units.

Candidates with special needs are advised to email info@cbdcollege.edu.au prior to booking so that reasonable adjustments to training and assessment can be contemplated.

Where a student has an identified need for assistance with language, literacy or numeracy, CBD College’s trainers and assessors will endeavour to provide this assistance directly.

Please note that there are a number training sessions (delivering to an individual and to groups of learners) that students will need to deliver during the course. Some preparation time will be given in class for this. You will also be required to do some planning in the evenings and the middle weekend for these training sessions.

Other requirements

As well as a laptop, you will need to bring to class the following: 

• photo ID
• a pen and paper for taking notes

Once you have been marked as competent in all assessments, you will be notified via email. Your Certificate and Record of Transcript will be posted to you within 10 business days of receiving your completion email.

Pathways From The Qualification

After achieving TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, candidates may undertake TAE50122 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training.

Questions

Our experience has led us to believe that many candidates possess skills and knowledge that enables them to undertake an integrated course where training time can be reduced. This means focusing predominantly on knowledge and skills that you may not already have - but need to have - if you are going to be delivering nationally recognised training in a registered training organisation.

To gather information on how long it is likely to take you to complete Certificate IV in TAE with CBD College, please answer the following question(s):

Part A

1. Have you worked with units of competency before in a training and assessing environment?

If you answered yes to this question, you are likely to need to spend less time on training and preparing to complete your assessments. You will need to attend the 10 face to face days of our course and then work through the assessment file at your own pace. You can expect to complete your qualification in less than the average student.

If you answered no, please ensure that you answer all of the questions below in Part B.

Part B

1. Have you ever made a ‘presentation’ of some sort in a work, school, TAFE, university, church, sporting or other group environment?  This may not necessarily have been a formal ‘presentation’ but some sort of conveyance of information or idea in a structured sense?
2. If you have, did you plan what you were going to say beforehand?
3. Did you use anything to support your presentation eg visual aids to help convey your message?
4. Did you get feedback on the presentation or reflect on afterwards?
5. Do you think you would be able to ascertain a special needs candidate in the classroom, learning or work environment?
6. Would you be able to think about effective ways to deal with inappropriate behaviour in a classroom?
7. If you were training in a work or classroom environment, would you be able to ascertain any risks involved in the training and be able to formulate a plan to reduce or mitigate those risks?
8. Have you ever shown someone at school or at work how to do a particular task?
9. Have you ever documented a simple procedure to help train or instruct another? (This may not necessarily to have been in a formal training or work environment).
10. Have you ever dealt with people from different cultures and if so, would you be able to think about ways that you could alter the way you train and assess to accommodate these differences?
11. Do you have broad industry knowledge and experience relating to training and assessment?

If you have answered yes to all questions, you can expect to complete the qualification more quickly than the average learner.

If you have answered no to any of the questions, you should expect to need to attend a number of our Help Days (these are held on scheduled days). You will also need to expect to complete our self-paced learning activities and suggested research. The volume of learning you should expect to complete will be within the suggested range for a Certificate IV qualification (6-12 months).
