Over the years, I have helped many people as they have struggled with the study and assessment requirements of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification. It is not an easy qualification to get, and it can be very time consuming.
I have established a TAE Tutoring service to help people who need assistance with their TAE studies, or are wanting to speed-up their progress. Central to my service are tutoring sessions via Zoom video conferencing (frequently using the ‘Share Screen’ function). These sessions are supplemented by emails, text messages, and the occasional phone call.
TAE Tutoring sessions can be weekly, or as required. And some people have had multiple sessions in the one week. My tutoring service is tailored for each individual, and it is totally flexible.
Common problems experienced by TAE40122 students
Some common problems that are experienced by many TAE40122 students include:
- Unsupported self-paced online learning
- Complicated assessment instructions
- Insufficient or unhelpful training.
Unsupported self-paced online learning
Many people doing their Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification as self-paced online learning often feel unsupported for various reasons, including:
- Slow or no response from the RTO when help is needed
- Lack of timely useful information and advice
- Unfriendly or uncaring attitude.
Complicated assessment instructions
Many people find the instructions for their assessments are complicated and confusing. And jargon or terminology is often used that is difficult to understanding; especially for people new to the Australian VET system.
In addition to complicated assessment instruments, many TAE students are confronted with a range of templates that must be completed. Sometimes, these templates can be challenging to understand. Also, these templates can be challenging to use; especially if a person only has limited or basic word processing skills.
Insufficient or unhelpful training
The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification can be delivered in different ways, for example:
- Training delivered by a trainer in a training room
- Training delivered by a trainer via video conferencing application; such as, Zoom or Teams
- Self-paced online learning
- Combination of the above.
Regardless of how the qualification is being delivered, many people find the training they received is insufficient or unhelpful. And in some cases, people feel that they haven’t received any training relevant to their assessment tasks. Without proper training, many people often find themselves wasting time and getting frustrated.
