We offer individuals the opportunity to update their TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment to the latest TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment using a streamlined credit transfer, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and gap-training process.
1. Compliance. The revised Standards for RTOs 2015 and this ministerial release have changed the minimum qualifications required of trainers and assessors within the vocational education and training sector from 1 July 2019:
Note: If you hold a higher level qualification in adult education you should contact ASQA directly to ensure that your qualification will meet industry standards.
2. Competitive advantage! Gain a competitive advantage by possessing the most current training and assessment qualification.
3. Prepare! Remember when the TAA40104 was replaced by the TAE40110 back in 2010? It wasn’t long before employers became reluctant to accept trainers with the superseded qualification. Be prepared for the inevitable!
4. Professionalism! Holding the most current TAE40116 qualification shows your commitment to ongoing professional development and ensures you remain at the forefront of the industry.
The first step is to check your eligibility using our online eligibility assessment form which only takes a few minutes to complete and submit.
There are two options for updating your superseded TAE40110 to the new TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment:
Option One: Two-day live Virtual+ Class (recommended) – $699
Option Two: One-day live Virtual+ Class – $499
1. What’s the difference between the TAE40110 and the TAE40116? The new TAE40116 consists of nine core units plus one elective unit. The superseded TAE40110 consists of seven core units plus three elective units.
In summary:
2. Is it compulsory to update to the TAE40116? No, it is not compulsory to update to the TAE40116. The TAE40110 plus the units TAEASS502 and TAELLN411 is still a valid qualification to work as a trainer and assessor. However, by updating to the latest qualification you will be setting yourself apart from your peers, and show a commitment to continual professional development that is valued so highly in training and assessment roles. Also, you may recall when the TAA40104 was replaced by the TAE40110 back in 2010. It wasn’t long before employers became reluctant to accept trainers with the superseded qualification. Be prepared for the inevitable!
3. How long do I have to update to the TAE40116 once enrolled? Once we have confirmed your eligibility, you have 12 months from the enrolment date to complete the update process.
