Be part of the solution to Australia’s skill shortage. Share your industry skills and knowledge by becoming a qualified teacher, trainer or assessor!

This qualification reflects the roles of entry-level vocational education and training (VET) teachers, trainers and assessors, and develops the skills and knowledge needed to understand the VET sector, design learning to meet the needs of learners and enterprises, deliver training, and plan and conduct assessments.

This qualification is suitable if you have vocational qualifications and current experience using that qualification and are looking to conduct structured training and/or assessment using Nationally Recognised Training products.

At TasTAFE, TAE40122 is offered by either enrolling in the full qualification or separately in five (5) separate skill sets plus the elective TAELLN421 unit (or one eligible elective unit you may bring from a current Certificate III or above qualification). This provides you with more flexibility and choice over your enrolment.

Entry

Prior to enrolling in this training program, you must be able to demonstrate an adequate level of language, literacy and numeracy skill, and vocational competency in your proposed teaching and assessing area.

In your application you will need to:

provide evidence of vocational competency in the area in which you intend to teach i.e. Certificate III in Commercial Cookery; Certificate IV in Engineering

Additional requirements

You will require access to a vocational training and assessment environment to complete assessments such as group delivery and assessing students using National Training Packages.

You will also require access to a suitably qualified mentor holding TAE40116 or equivalent for some assessment observations.

*If you are unable to use your own workplace, you may be required to organise your own work placement in an environment that provides accredited training. In some situations a simulated environment may be an option depending upon numbers required to meet the training package requirements.

Is this qualification for you?

We encourage you to consider if this is the right course for you by undertaking a Entrance Checklist (Word).

As part of the application process, and before being offered a place in the course, a member of our Team will contact you to discuss if this course aligns with your goals and aspirations, and to ensure that you are fully informed and understand the course requirements. This does not apply to apprentices and trainees.

Fees, payments and other costs

As the Training and Assessment qualifications and skill sets are commercial courses, a refund will only apply if you formally withdraw 72 hours prior to the commencement of the course. There is no refund once a course has commenced.

For enrolments in the full qualification course, TAE40122, a 6-month payment plan may be requested upon enrolment. Payments can also be spread by enrolling separately in each Training and Assessment skill set. Please refer to the individual TAE skill set pages.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience – which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.

You will gather and develop the evidence required in a suitable training and assessment environment in your own workplace or a registered training organisation (RTO), using real work activities. Assessment evidence will be obtained and prepared outside of learning times.
