Hi everyone!
Here is some useful information that breaks down the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment to make it a little bit easier to understand.
The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAA04104) is designed to meet the current and future competency development needs of new and existing personnel participating in a variety of work functions and activities within vocational education and training in Australia. This may include formal training in a structured training environment, on-the-job instruction, conducting of workplace assessments, one-to-one training of apprentices, as well as the coaching and mentoring of staff. There are 14 Units of Competency in the Certificate IV and this combination of Units is designed to provide candidates with a clear set of benchmarks to support both initial competency achievement and ongoing professional development.
The program addresses key competency areas that represent the primary areas of work undertaken within organisations that provide training and assessment services. Each of these areas is called a “Field” in the Training and Assessment Training Package (TAA04). The Fields contained in the Certificate IV program are:
Competency Field 1: Learning Environment (ENV)
The learning environment field units address different aspects of the relationships between work and the environment of vocational education and training.
Competency Field 2: Learning Design (DES)
The learning design field units address competence in both the design of learning products and the design of the learning process.
Competency Field 3: Delivery and Facilitation (DEL)
The delivery and facilitation field units address the competence required to deliver training and to facilitate learning. The units differentiate competence by application in different delivery modes (face-to-face, e-based, through work and by distance) and by application of particular delivery methods and techniques (e.g. action learning, individual facilitation and instruction and demonstration).
Competency Field 4: Assessment (ASS)
The units in the Assessment Field address the process of assessment, the development of assessment tools, competency in validation processes and coordination of assessment systems and services.
