How long does the Certificate IV in TAE take?
By CBD College · Reviewed by our training team · Updated 8 June 2026 · 3 min read
How long the TAE40122 takes depends on the delivery mode and how much time you put into the assessments. CBD College runs an intensive face-to-face program (a two-week block) alongside pre-course online learning and assessment work you complete in your own time. Many students finish within a few weeks to a few months, depending on their pace and prior experience.
What affects the timeframe
- Delivery mode (intensive face-to-face vs spread out)
- How quickly you complete the assessment tasks
- Your prior training or industry experience
- How much time you can dedicate each week
How CBD College delivers it
