If you obtained a TAA certification in the last 5 years conversion should be simple, provided you have used your skills (been actively teaching) and undertaken appropriate professional development to retain currency of your competencies.
There are two steps to conversion:
- RPL Assessment - confirm qualification/s and currency - RSC will assess these, identify gaps and advise the specific unit/s required to convert.
- you enrol in and complete units required for conversion.
To begin this process please:
- send us a certified copy of your qualification, including a list of the units completed, plus
- a letter from someone suitably qualified to do so such as your employer indicating that you have maintained currency via delivery of training programs and professional development.
- RSC will review your qualifications and inform you of the units (often 1, but could be up to 3 units) you will need to take to convert to the TAE qualification.
Costs
RPL Assessment: $100
Units of study to be completed: $225 each. Enrol for online study
The TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment requires seven (7) core units and three (3) elective units. Depending on the units included in a person's TAA40104 qualification consisting of 14 units (12 core and 2 electives) it may or may not be possible to provide direct credit against ten (10) units that will satisfy the TAE40110 rules.
Units will require mapping between TAA40104 and TAE40110 units. The Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) has mapped individual units against each other 1.
The group of 'learning environment' units has been removed from the suite with the relevant elements, range statements, required skills and knowledge, and critical aspects of evidence included into a number of the other units in TAE40110.
The units TAADEL401B Plan and organise group-based delivery and TAADEL402B Facilitate group-based learning have been consolidated into a single, more coherent unit reflecting the underlying intent of both these units: TAEDEL401A Plan, organise and deliver group-based learning.
Similarly, TAADEL403B Facilitate individual learning and TAADEL404B Facilitate work-based learning have been merged to become TAEDEL402A Plan, organise and facilitate learning in the workplace.
Both TAEDEL401A and TAEDEL402A are core units in TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, and address a range of issues around the skills required to deliver training and assessment in a range of contexts to a range of audiences – from workplaces to classrooms, one-on-one facilitation to large group delivery.
TAAASS401C Plan and organise assessment has been enhanced and is now represented by TAEASS401A Plan assessment activities and processes, which includes in particular developing simple assessment tools.
TAAASS403B Develop assessment tools has been enhanced and added to the Diploma and has also been made available as an elective in TAE40110 as TAEASS502A Design and develop assessment tools. Distinction has been made between assessment tools and instruments to make the differences clearer. It is seen to be a better fit at diploma level.
