TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a nationally recognised qualification that is designed to prepare individuals for the role of vocational education and training (VET) teachers, trainers, and assessors. The qualification is suitable for those who are seeking to enter the VET sector or for those who are already working in the sector and wish to design, deliver and assess competency based training.
Forsythes Training offer our students the option to complete some or all of their units in TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment via Recognition of Prior Learning.
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is a process that assesses your competency—acquired through formal and informal learning—to determine if you meet the requirements for a unit of study.
You can use a variety of documentation to apply for RPL. This includes, but is not limited to:
Each provider has its own RPL process, so don’t hesitate to contact Forsythes Training for assistance with applying for RPL. (Source: What is RPL? | Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA))
This tool involves the use of a “competency conversation” in addition to a portfolio of evidence to maximise the candidate’s opportunities to demonstrate competence. This is NOT an oral exam. It is about using holistic questions provided to start a conversation with the candidate which draws out their actual individual experiences and relevant skills. In other words, it is about the assessor probing the candidate through a conversation to draw out further information on the candidate’s relevant experience in the unit they are seeking RPL for.
Depending on what unit/s of competency you choose to study via RPL, there will be some pre-requisite requirements that you need to meet before enrolling.
Read below for a summery overview and make sure you review the “RPL Eligibility Application” document for a summary of each unit and the evidence you will be required to submit.
Participants must:
