Have you considered a career as a Trainer and Assessor with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO)?
As part of the Workforce Coordination Project, we are currently offering funded places in Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116). This qualification will develop the skills and knowledge needed to understand the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, design learning to meet the needs of learners and enterprises, deliver training and plan and conduct assessments.
This is a fantastic opportunity to share your skills to deliver quality training in aged care, disability, education and care or social services.
The role of a Trainer and Assessor is engaging and rewarding. Work opportunities include casual, sessional, part-time and full-time employment. Kickstart your career in the VET sector while working — your newfound skills and knowledge can be shared to benefit your workplace, and you can build your experience as a Trainer and Assessor at the same time.
This Certificate IV qualification develops the skills and knowledge needed to understand the VET sector, design and deliver training and plan and conduct assessments.
We have created a TAE Information Flyer for Staff and Employers as well as a TAE Promotional Flyer that you can download, share and distribute. It is important that participants of the program have workplace support and the TAE Information Flyer for Staff and Employers, in particular, can help guide conversations with your supervisor.
In the month of December 2022, we hosted four Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116) Information Sessions to shed more light on the program and what participants should expect.
