What are the subjects I will study?

The new TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment has a different and more exciting structure than the previous qualification (the Diploma of Training And Assessment Systems BSZ50198).

What are the Pre-Requisites for the TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment?

Before you can enrol in the new TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment, you must have the new TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.  This (unfortunately) is not negotiable as it has been set by the Training Package Rules.

The units that have pre-requisites are as follows:

In summary, this means that in order to enrol in the TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment, you must FIRST hold a TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment with the unit TAADEL402A Facilitate group-based learning as one of your two electives for that qualification.

Most students take between eight and eighteen months to complete the program.  At Safecity we realise that some students may not have a lot of time to dedicate to study.  For this reason, your enrolment will remain active for 18 months.

When you enrol, our friendly student support service will discuss your training needs and provide you with a detailed learning plan customised just for you!  Stick to this generous plan--it is there to help you achieve your goal as soon as practicable.  Of course, you can always alter the plan as your needs change.
 

However, DON'T PANIC! Your tutor will suggest strategies that you can use to not only excel in your course but also improve your chances of obtaining a good job.  Sorry, you have to enrol in our course to find out what these suggestions are!

• If you are a Safecity Graduate of either the BSZ50198 or our TAA40104, you will be eligible for a Safecity Graduate Discount on this course fee.
• Please be aware that we provide original manuals to our students, and our resources are the best available.

I have completed the BSZ50198 Diploma of Training and Assessment Systems, or BSZ40198 Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training.  Can I get recognition for either of these qualifications?

Absolutely.  You still need to ensure you have the Pre-Requisite's covered (i.e. that you hold the TAA40104 qualification with the TAADEL402A elective unit). 

The BSZ40198 qualification is best mapped to the TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. 

There are quite a few differences between the older BSZ50198 Diploma of Training and Assessment Systems, and the TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment.  There are some units that offer direct credit, and others that are partial matches - so there is a strong possibility that there are gaps.  Please speak to one of our friendly staff - or send us an email!

If you are a Safecity's graduate wanting to upgrade to the TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment, you are in for a treat!, click here.    Use your student username and password to enter the support website.  We care about our graduates and it shows!

I am an experienced trainer, but I have not completed the BSZ40198  Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training, Can I apply for recognition of current competency for the TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment qualification?

Yes.  RPL for TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment is available from us.  

Recognition is all about RECOGNISING your current skills and knowledge.  Most of us learn the skills we need to perform our duties in the work environment - so it makes sense that experienced trainers that don't have formal qualifications would hold a lot of the same skills.  That is where the Recognition Process comes in.  

It is still essential to hold the TAA40104 qualification, though.  So, if you don't already hold the TAA40104 qualification, that is your first Recognition step!   

There have been considerable changes in the new Workplace Training qualification. Therefore, I greatly encourage you to take the plunge and enrol in the full course. As a professional trainer, you surely want to be fully informed about your craft and the many tools you can use to benefit your students (and your career and finances).

Who recognises this course?

This course is recognised nationally in Australia under the Australian Qualifications Framework.

 Is your course industry specific?

The TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment is not industry specific--it can be transported across any industry.  Almost all industries now require their trainers to have this qualification.  This is particularly true for Government, educational organisations such as TAFE and Colleges, and Corporate Australia.

Our manuals and lesson plans are not industry specific.  The nature of the program is such that you can quickly adapt your lesson plans to any training environment.

We do, however, gather a lot of information from you about your work roles and your industry so we can customise the training to meet your needs.  Remember, at Safecity you may HAVE a student number, but you are still known by your name! 

What other benefits does Safecity offer me?

• No hidden costs for assessments and other charges
• No hidden costs such as internet on-line time and additional  bandwidth charges from your Internet Service Provider.
• Support website-- access our open-learning message board, chatroom, useful links and frequently asked questions.
• Your tutor is a real person, not a computer.  No need to attend complicated on-line web cam hook-ups.  Speak to a real person on the telephone.
• This program can be completed without restrictive, costly and complex online interactions.  If you wish, you may use e-mail to forward your assignments and visit the support website.  There is no ongoing internet requirement.
