You must demonstrate vocational competency in your proposed teaching and assessing area. This is broad industry knowledge and experience, which may include holding a relevant unit of competency or qualification.
All assessments are scenario-based and integrated โ no workplace placement required. You'll start working on assessments during the 10 face-to-face days, so you'll already have momentum when the classroom component ends.
Two online learning modules must be completed prior to Day 1 โ they usually take students just a few hours.
Work at your own pace after the face-to-face days. There is no minimum time โ hand in your work as soon as it is completed. Students with VET experience and good computer skills often finish quickly.

"Before beginning TAE40122, many people told me that obtaining this certificate would mean completing a very dry/boring course, but CBD's approach made it engaging and varied. I met some great people in the course. We developed a group chat to support each other and everyone become each other's cheer squad! The help meetings and validation meetings were great ways to get individual guidance. Emails were answered quickly and I genuinely felt that no question was too much trouble."
"This is a difficult course and is daunting for most people, this being my second attempt as the first company I used was absolutely terrible. I would recommend this course to anyone โ the attention and care from the staff after the face-to-face workshop is fantastic and would enable any person to pass if they were willing to put in the time. I completed from start to finish in approximately 3 months."
"I found CBD College to be a very supportive and responsive RTO. The training was clear and helpful and has provided me with confidence to enter into a new field. The responsiveness to questions and the marking of the assessments was very efficient. Highly recommend to anyone looking to do the TAE course."
TAE40122 requires 12 units (6 core + 6 electives).
Not all TAE courses are created equal. Here's how we stack up.
TAFE fee-free completion rates sourced from industry data. Individual experiences may vary by provider.
No degree is required. You need to demonstrate vocational competency โ meaning broad industry knowledge and experience in the area you plan to train and assess in. This could include holding a relevant qualification or significant workplace experience.
Yes. Many employers pay directly or reimburse course fees. We can invoice your employer on request.
You're never left on your own. CBD College runs free Help Days via Zoom where you can get one-on-one support from your trainer as you work through your assessments. These sessions are unlimited and included in your course fee โ no extra cost, no booking limits.
Yes. TAE40122 is a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework. CBD College is a registered training organisation (RTO 91399) regulated by ASQA.
Both are face-to-face and in-person with a live trainer โ the only difference is location. Zoom students join from home via video conferencing. Classroom students attend our Sydney or Melbourne CBD campus (7 days in-person + 3 days via Zoom). Same qualification, same trainers, same outcome.
Most providers use a unit-by-unit approach โ you complete one assessment where you design training, then a separate one where you deliver it, and so on. Everything is done in isolation and often makes no sense. At CBD College, our assessments are integrated so you plan a training session, deliver it, and reflect on it โ just like you would in the real world. This means less duplication, less repetitive paperwork, and a qualification that actually prepares you for the job.
Fee-free courses have major drawbacks. Here's what to consider.
