TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment Overview

March 22, 2017 By Academy Staff 2 Comments

Description of the qualification

This qualification reflects the roles of individuals delivering training and assessment services in the vocational education and training (VET) sector.

This qualification (or the skill sets derived from units of competency within it) is also suitable preparation for those engaged in the delivery of training and assessment of competence in a workplace context, as a component of a structured VET program.

The volume of learning of a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is typically six months to two years.

Licensing/Regulatory Information

Achievement of this qualification by trainers is a requirement of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.

Entry Requirements

Those entering this program must be able to demonstrate vocational competency in their 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.

TAE40116 – Units of competency in the qualification
Packaging Rules

Total number of units = 10
9 core units plus
1 elective unit

The elective unit may be:
- from the electives listed at Training.gov.au
- from any currently endorsed Training Package or accredited course at Certificate IV or above.

The elective unit chosen must be relevant to the work outcome and meet local industry needs.

You need to complete 10 units of competency in order to be issued the full Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. Nine of these are “core” (mandatory). They are:

1. TAEASS401 Plan assessment activities and processes
2. TAEASS402 Assess competence
3. TAEASS403 Participate in assessment validation
4. TAEASS502 Design and develop assessment tools
5. TAEDEL401 Plan, organise and deliver group-based learning
6. TAEDEL402 Plan, organise and facilitate learning in the workplace
7. TAEDES401 Design and develop learning programs
8. TAEDES402 Use training packages and accredited courses to meet client needs
9. TAELLN411 Address adult language, literacy and numeracy skills

The final unit is an “elective” and this unit will be agreed upon between the candidate and the training organisation offering the qualification.
Notice that the codes of the units are unique and help to identify what they cover.

- TAE stands for Training and Education. It is the code of a Training Package.
- The next three letters identify the unit sector:
- DES: learning design
- ASS: assessment
- DEL: delivery
- LLN: language, literacy and numeracy

Notice that there are more ASS units than any other sector. This is because accurate assessment of competency is so important. When you assess a person as “competent”, an employer needs to rely on the fact that they actually are competent, so you need in-depth knowledge of how to conduct assessment accurately.

This doesn’t mean that training is unimportant.

Please post your comments or share your experience as a learner on why accurate assessment of competency is so important.

I do not dispute that accurate assessment of competency is necessary however I believe the original assessment units in TAE40110 were adequate. Adding TAEASS502 Design and develop assessment tools as a core in the TAE40116 does not reflect what at trainer and assessor would generally be expected to do at this level. From my 17 years of experience working as a VET trainer, I know that designing and developing assessment tools is a very specialised skill and should be left to those who have the experience and expertise.

I must say that it is paramount. Take a look at this article which was shared by Tatiana Morley with the ITTA team: https://www.insources.com.au/in-blog/why-provide-feedback-to-students?mc_cid=09e8155279&mc_eid=308.
