What we find is that many people who are seeking out our Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course are not absolutely clear on what is involved, or if it is the right course for them. The truth is that for many people this Cert IV TAE course may appear to be far more involved in terms of what is taught that what people expect, because people undertake the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course for different reasons.
Throughout this course clients are taught how to design, delivery, and assess at a nationally-accredited level. The course involves breaking down training packages and course units in detail to ensure that any learning materials and assessment tasks created in a learning program meet the course objectives and do actually impart the knowledge and skills required to do whatever the training is designed for.
Not every client completing their Certificate IV in Training and Assessment necessarily wants to be involved in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. Some are completing to course because they want to learn best practices in terms of delivering training, while others may just wish to learn how best to design learning materials and assessments. While it is true that many people are delivering non-accredited training and may not be planning on working at the nationally-accredited level or using training packages, to successfully complete the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment clients must also engage at the training packages level as this is part of the essential skills and knowledge required to successfully obtain your Cert IV TAE qualification.
Even though you may not plan on being in the VET industry, the principles of design, delivery, and assessment that your learn as part of your Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course are just as relevant no matter what type of training you deliver. The Cert IV in TAE will teach you everything you need to know to create excellent learning programs that cater for whatever type of learners you are training/teaching. It will give you an entire toolkit of best practices for designing any type of learning program, and how to deliver them to individual, groups, or through one-on-one instruction. Finally, the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course will ensure that your assessment questions, activities, and projects do actually test to see whether your learners have actually acquired the knowledge and skills that you were aiming to teach. It is therefore an essential toolkit therefore for any trainer, facilitator, or assessor that wishes to ensure their learning programs are always using best practices to impart knowledge.
