Hi everyone! I’ve decided to start a blog to let you know all the 'ins and outs' of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAA). I’m going to be updating it regularly with info, news and advice so it will be a one-stop-shop for everything you could possible need, or want to know about the Cert IV in TAA. Enjoy!
Let’s start with a small introduction so you can get the basic ‘gist’ of what this course is about.
The Cert IV in Training and Assessment TAA40104 is the latest nationally recognised and accredited Australian Train the Trainer qualification. It has replaced the older Workplace Training and Assessment (BSZ40198) qualification and is now the standard in becoming a qualified trainer. With the Cert IV in TAA you’ll learn all kinds of new skills, and it’s a must if you want to become a teacher at an Australian TAFE. It will teach you to develop and train groups and individuals as well as how to develop assessment tools and procedures in your workplace.
So how will this qualification help your career? Aside from the new skills and knowledge that you’ll gain, you can also work as a training officer, facilitator or assessor in the workplace and in a Vocational Education and Training (VET) environment. The course is made up of 12 core units and 2 electives so you can choose the courses that are relevant to you. There are no formal prerequisites to get your Cert IV in TAA. All you need is the ability to speak, write and have basic computer skills and most importantly a passion for training!
