Question 2: Does the TAE40110 qualification equate to the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or would I have to upgrade?

The TAE40110 does not equate to TAE40116 Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment, however, it is possible to upgrade to the TAE40116 Cert 4 Training and Assessment via a combination of recognition/equivalence and gap training.

The International Teacher Training Academy (Australia) has developed a streamlined upgrade course for Cert 4 Training and Assessment which consists of gap training in TAEASS401 and TAEASS403. Both of these units are deemed not equivalent to the superseded units. TAEASS502 Design and Develop Assessment Tools is now a core unit in TAE40116 Certificate IV Training and Assessment. This unit can be completed via RPL or gap training. If you have TAEASS502B as part of your TAE40110 qualification you can receive a credit transfer for this unit as it is deemed equivalent. TAELLN411 Address Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Skills is a core unit in TAE40116 Cert 4 Training and Assessment. This unit can also be completed via distance delivery or RPL.
