TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment

It's a great course

Over the past 10 years, CBD College has gained a reputation for delivering a cleverly-integrated face-to-face TAE course trained by some of the best and most highly qualified facilitators in Australia.

Our TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course is unique. 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. We aim to arm candidates with the practical skills to go out and be engaging and dynamic trainers and to be thorough assessors, whether this be in a TAFE or an RTO or simply in the workplace.

We have high completion rates

Compared to some other providers, we have high completion rates. We offer excellent support and if you are prepared to work hard and complete the assessments, you'll be able to achieve your qualification. 

Our course is flexible

The design of our course allows those who need the qualification quickly to be able to do this. By completing the practical component in a block at the beginning of the course, it is then up to the student how quickly or slowly they complete and submit their assessments. Assessments can be submitted for marking as soon as they are complete. 

TAE40122 Certificate IV Training and Assessment requires completion of 12 units of competency (6 core and 6 elective). TAE40122 has been packaged by CBD College to meet the packaging rules as follows:

6 Core Units:

6 Elective Units:

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.
