Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
This course is delivered in fast-track mode for working professionals
This is a nationally approved vocational course that is recognised throughout Australia.
Many organisations now see the value of ongoing workforce training, especially with 56% of Australian workers needing new skills within the next five years. As subject-matter experts are called upon to train their colleagues, the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a formal qualification that sets the standard.
This nationally accredited course enables you to gain an understanding of Vocational Education. You will develop the required skills and knowledge to be able to design, deliver and assess accredited and non-accredited courses to individuals or groups working in industry.
The Cert IV TAE qualification is the minimum requirement to teach or assess accredited programs under the standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).
This qualification focuses on real world, relevant global contexts. It is a practical program with projects and assignments you can integrate into your existing role or organisation. Undergoing the program gives you skills and tools you can use immediately and encourages you to think differently. Additionally, the qualification fully aligns to future trends in leadership capabilities.
Who should attend?
This qualification is suitable for:
- Those who are currently doing workplace training and are seeking a formal qualification and enhanced training skills.
- Subject matter experts who are planning to offer their training skills in workplaces or with RTOs.
- Existing trainers who seek to improve their offer and add a formal training qualification to their resume
Please note that this is not the free TAE course.

“The facilitator was very approachable, knowledgeable and skilled! Great guidance and support during workshop to explain and answer assessments. Love the ice breaker at the beginning and reflection part at the end. Time management was on point to ensure all parts of the unit are covered and discussed.”
