Expression of Interest: Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122) — Round 3

*** Expressions of interest have now closed. The next intake will be in June 2024 ***

The first funded program opportunity for 2024 is the Developing a Workplace Training Culture program, co-designed with TasTAFE (RTO 60142). This is a first step in gaining training skills and knowledge to support, mentor, instruct and assist people completing qualifications in the workplace.

Skills and knowledge development is provided through a combination of accredited and non-accredited pathways with elements and units selected from the Training and Assessment package (TAE40122).

Who is this program for?

To be eligible for this program participants must be working in the community services industry sectors — aged care, disability services, education and care (childcare), and social services. The program is ideal for people in the workplace who already do, or have the potential to supervise, coach and mentor other employees in training in the workplace, for example trainees or students in training.

Is it funded?

Yes, this program is funded. There is no cost for training delivery for this program. Participants will attend a one-day face-to-face training day and two half-day online sessions. Employers will need to support release of staff who are undertaking the training.

Participants moving through to the accredited Workplace Supervisor Skill Set also includes the option for workplaces to claim a subsidised backfill payment, provided that the employee is paid and their role is being covered while they complete their training.

As outlined in the diagram below, this program offers multiple pathways starting with a Trainer Preparation Program which everyone will complete, through to the accredited Workplace Supervisor Skill Set which most people will move to completing. For participants who successfully complete the Workplace Supervisor Skill Set, there is the potential to continue working through the other four Training and Assessment skill sets to gain the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification (TAE40122).

Everyone participating in the program will complete this interactive short training course. This is a non-accredited component that supports the introduction to training, including digital development, workplace communication and study skills.

After Part 1, participants will move into a pathway best suited to their needs. This will either be the non-accredited Skill Sharing short course or the accredited TAESS00017 Workplace Supervisor Skill Set course.

The TAESS00017 Units for the Workplace Supervisor Skill Set course are:

  • TAEASS311 — Contribute to Assessment
  • TAEDEL311 — Provide Work Skill Instruction
  • TAEDEL414 — Mentor in the Workplace
