When was the new training package endorsed?
It was endorsed on the 12th May 2010.
Why
was the TAE10 training package introduced?
The
NVR (or AQTF depending on your State) is strongly
dedicated to a policy of continuous improvement. This means that, in order to maintain
excellence, training standards must be reviewed on a regular basis, and the
contents altered and improved to meet new challenges in the workplace.
What does "endorsed" mean?
Endorsed is the term used when a training package has been "approved".
When a new Training Package is endorsed, it supersedes the previous one.
What do the codes refer to?
The code TAE10 refers to the whole training package.
What does the "10" mean?
The "10" refers to the year 2010, the year of endorsement.
What is the difference between TAA40 the TAE10?
There is very little difference between the two qualifications. According to
IBSA: "these qualifications are equivalent in broad content and outcomes".
What
has changed?
Quite simply the new TAE10 training package has replaced the previous training
package (TAA04) governing all aspects of vocational training.
Fundamental differences between the two qualifications.
The previous TAA40104 course qualification included:
-
12 Core Units of
Competency, which include a range of training units, assessment units, and
Environment units.
-
2 Elective Units to be
chosen from four different streams which focus on either Training and
Delivery, Assessment, Environment, LLN, or Training Advisory Services.
-
a Vocational Education
and Training context.
Units of
competency
The new qualification has:
-
7 Core Units of
Competency, which include a range of training and assessment units.
-
3 Elective Units to be
chosen from a wider variety of streams.
-
Removal of a lot of
repetition within units.
-
Removal of the
Environment field, where the outcomes of those units have been embedded
within other Core Units from the qualification.
-
Amalgamation of some
units that are more commonly completed together (e.g. Facilitating
Individual Learning almost always occurs in a Workplace context, so these
two units have been combined into a single unit).
-
You can also view
information on these qualifications by visiting www.ibsa.org.au, and at www.training.gov.au.
Why are there less units?
A lot of repetition has been removed, and the content has been reorganised a
little.
Three TAA04 units were deleted, and their
content was included within other units in the package. So, it LOOKS less,
but it is really the same material reorganised!
How does my TAA40104 qualification map towards the new
qualification?
There is direct mapping for the core and common elective units to TAE. To find out more about our TAE Upgrade process please click the banner
below.
If I completed units in TAA04, do I get any credits for
that with TAE10?
Yes; if the units directly map across. Some
do, and some don't. Please
discuss your options with our friendly staff.
If you have already completed some of the TAA04 units, then the credits will
depend on what units you completed.
So
what happens to all the previously qualified trainers and their student's
qualifications? Are all the previous certificates they issued no longer valid?
All previous nationally recognised qualifications remain valid qualifications.
However, if you are delivering nationally recognised courses you must
upgrade to the
Certificate IV in Training and Assessment before the 1st of July 2013.
Safecity offers a
streamlined and ethical
online
TAA to TAE upgrade
and a dedicated
TAE40110 upgrade website.
You can
start your upgrade process with us by simply E-mailing us a copy of your
TAA40104 certificate and a list of of
the elective units you completed for a free review.
Will I be restricted in delivering
training if I don't have the most recent qualification?
From the 1st of July 2013, you must hold the
TAE40110 in order to deliver nationally
recognised courses.
How do I keep my skills current? Is simply teaching enough?
No.
Simply teaching and / or assessing is not enough to maintain current skills
and knowledge.
To keep your skills current, you will need to:
AND also
-
keep abreast of any changes happening in the industry.
-
You need to continue to educate yourself about current standards, procedures
and competencies regarding the VET Sector.
I only train individuals. Can I use this training
for my course?
Yes, and No. We will need to see you training individuals, but
we also need to see you training groups (2 or more people) for the unit
TAEDEL401 Plan, Organise and Deliver Group Based Learning.
What if I don't have a group of students?
You can recruit family, friends, or work colleagues to play the role of
"learner".
