Updating from TAE40116 to TAE40122: Select elective units

Do you want to update your TAE40116 qualification to the TAE40122 qualification? And if you do, what is the first thing to be done?

During November 2024, I will be presenting a webinar titled, ‘An RPL guide for updating from TAE40116 to TAE40122‘. The webinar will cover a 5-step process:

• Step 1 Select elective units
• Step 2 Determine evidence required and identify evidence that can be gathered
• Step 3 Shop around for an RTO
• Step 4 Contact the preferred RTO and discuss acceptable evidence with the RPL assessor
• Step 5 Apply for RPL and follow RTO’s RPL procedure

The first step is to select the elective units.

TAE40122 Qualification packaging rules

The following are the packaging rules for the TAE40122 qualification:

• Total number of units = 12
• 6 core units plus
• 6 elective units.

Refer to the TAE40122 Qualification packaging rules for detailed information about core units and elective units.

TAE40122 Core units

The core units for TAE40122 qualification are specified as shown in the following table.

The use of this table shall be explain at the webinar.

Select elective units that give credit transfer

Most people with the TAE40116 qualification will be able to select at least two elective units that will give credit transfer.

First elective unit to be selected is TAEDEL412 Facilitate workplace-based learning because it supersedes and is equivalent to TAEDEL402 Plan, organise and facilitate learning in the workplace. And the TAEDEL402 was a core unit for the TAE40116. So, everyone will get credit transfer for the TAEDEL412 unit.

Next, select other units that give credit transfer. For example:

• TAEDEL311 Provide work skill instructions
• TAEDEL414 Mentor in the workplace
• BSBCMM411 Make presentations.

Select other elective units

Select units with the least amount of evidence required to demonstrate your competence. For example:

• Consider selecting an LLN unit
• Consider selecting TAEDEL405 and TAEASS404 if you have recently facilitated online learning and conducted assessment in an online.

Everyone’s circumstances are unique. At least eight units will be the same for everyone, and there may be some variation in the selection of the remaining four units. The following is an example of the 6 core units and 6 selected elective units.

In conclusion

This first step of the 5-step process is relatively quick and easy. However, it is important for you to do this step to minimise the time and effort later when gathering your RPL evidence:

• Select elective units that give you credit transfer
• Select elective units with the least amount of evidence required to demonstrate your competence.

More tips and strategies shall be presented at the upcoming webinar.
