20/12/2022

 
After a lengthy process, state and territory skills ministers have approved the newest TAE Training Package. The qualifications approved include:

  • TAE50122 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (including specialisations of Advanced Training and Assessment, Design and Development, VET Leadership)
All Industry Reference Committee (IRC) recommendations were accepted including the deeming of the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment as both “equivalent to”, and the “successor of” the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.
 
Importantly, this will mean existing qualified Trainers and Assessors will not be required to complete any qualification upgrades.
