Many people studying for their TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification will be required to complete the following three units of competency:
- TAEDEL311 Provide work skill instruction
- TAEDEL411 Facilitate vocational training
- TAEDEL405 Plan, organise and facilitate online learning
These TAE units of competency specifies the following:
- The TAEDEL311 Provide work skill instruction unit of competency requires the delivery of three training sessions, with each training session being of at least 30 minutes duration.
- The TAEDEL411 Facilitate vocational training unit of competency requires the delivery of five training sessions, with each training session being of at least 30 minutes duration.
- The TAEDEL405 Plan, organise and facilitate online learning unit of competency requires the delivery of two training sessions, with each training session being of at least 30 minutes duration.
There will be some differences between the training sessions. Some training sessions must be delivered face-to-face, while other training sessions must be delivered online. Some training sessions must be delivered to small groups, while other training sessions must be delivered to individual learners. And some training sessions must cover content relating to a unit of competency, while other training sessions do not need to relate to a unit of competency.
The TAE40122 Student can expect to deliver at least ten training sessions as specified by the above three TAE units of competency, and each training session must be at least 30 minutes. That adds up to the delivery of at least 5 hours of training.
How much time does it take develop training?
The TAE Student will be required to develop:
- Training session plans
- Training materials.
Training materials may include:
- PowerPoint slides
- Handouts.
Some training materials may exist and be ready to use without breaching copyright laws. However, some training materials may need to be created, while other training materials may exist but need to be customised.
A TAE40122 Student may need a day to develop their training session plan and training materials for a 30-minute training session. Various factors may increase or decrease the time required to develop the training, such as:
- Type of content
- Amount of content
- Type of learning activities
- Availability of relevant training materials
- Computer skills of the person developing the training.
The TAE40122 Student may need 10 days to prepare for delivering ten 30-minute training sessions. Depending on the elective units selected for the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification, there may be more than ten training sessions that will need to be delivered.
What can be achieved in 30 minutes?
Very little learning can be achieved during a 30-minute training session.
As a general rule, allocate at least 50% of the available time to learning activities. This means that 15 minutes of every 30-minute training session should be used for one or some of the following:
- activity to learn or apply knowledge
- quiz to check if knowledge has been attained
- brainstorming solutions to a problem
- discussing a case study or scenario
- practicing a skill or performing a task.
A TAE40122 Student will be expected to conduct an introduction and conclusion to the training session. These segments of training session will take about 5 minutes.
Therefore, there will be 10 minutes or less, available for presenting information or demonstrating the performance of a skill or task. Time will also be needed to answer questions raised by your learners.
Timeframe for a knowledge training session
The following is an example that shows how time can be used for a knowledge training session.
Timeframe for a skill or task-based training session
The following is an example that shows how time can be used for a skill or task-based training session.
In conclusion
The TAE40122 Student is likely to be required to deliver many 30-minute training sessions. Very little learning can be achieved in 30 minutes. Therefore, do not try to cover too much content.
The development of a training session plan and training materials can be very time-consuming. Are you wanting to learn effective and efficient ways to prepare your training sessions?
