TAE40122 pending endorsement

Submissions to the public validation for the draft TAE Training Package closed on Friday 12th of August 2022. The new TAE Training Package is expected to be endorsed and released for use before the year ends.

There were many complaints raised about the draft TAE Training Package during the public validation period. I predict that complaints about the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification will continue after it has been endorsed.

Some people will still say that the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification is not fit for purpose. Some people will still identify issues or disagree with the details covered by TAE Units of Competency.

I do not believe that the TAE40122 Graduate will be any better than a TAE40116 Graduate. And in some respects, the TAE40122 Graduate may have training and assessment skills that are less than those of a TAE40116 Graduate.

It’s all over but the shouting

The following lyrics to a song, ‘It’s all over but the shouting’, were written by JD Pherson in 2015.

It’s all over but the shouting
It’s all done but the deed
It’s all healed but the hurtin’
It’s all taken but the heed
It’s all over but the shouting
It’s all gone but the need.

These words capture my thoughts and feelings about the proposed TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification. I have reflected upon these words. I have thought about the changes to the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification and the TAE Units of Competency. And I have thought about the process that has been used to determine these changes.

Will you shout for joy when the TAE40122 qualification is released? Will you shout with frustration or despair?

What are your thoughts and feelings about the new TAE40122 qualification?

The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification has been designed for people who are seeking employment as a trainer working for an RTO. This includes TAFE teachers and teachers delivering VET in School programs .

Most TAFE teachers, trainers and assessors working for an RTO learnt about designing competency-based assessment when they studied for their Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification . But designing a competency-based assessment for real is often very different to learning about it at a TAE training course.

On Target Work Skills is delivering a training webinar that provides a simple and practical approach to designing competency-based assessment. The aim is to improve capability for new and experienced VET practitioners.

Webinar objectives

The webinar objectives are:

• Identify compliance requirements relating to the development of competency-based assessment
• Describe a 7-step process for developing competency-based assessment
• Determine the volume of performance evidence
• Decide the number of assessment tasks
• Check that the entire competency standard is planned to be assessed.

Key content points

The key content for this training are:

• Compliance requirements (as per the Standards for RTOs 2015)
  • Definition of assessment
  • Principles of assessment and rules of evidence
• Assessment Requirements
  • Knowledge evidence
  • Performance evidence
  • Assessment conditions
• Sequence and structure of assessment tasks
• Assessment methods
• Assessment matrix
• Assessment tools

Location

The webinar shall be conducted via Zoom. Therefore, you can attend the webinar from your workplace or home.

Duration

3 hours webinar.

Note: There are two short breaks provided during the webinar.

Also, this webinar can be delivered to a work group. It can be a relevant and timely professional development activity for a group of trainers.
