Carson Australasia has designed a 6 day interactive, stimulating and enjoyable training program with an optional 2 Day Self-Directed Project Session. Please note the program is complete with the submission of a post-course project, which participants will start working on during the course. Participants will then take home the files for their partly completed project, along with many templates we provide to assist in completing the project. *The option of comprehensive coaching support is available to participants in completing the project. If the project remains incomplete, without approval for extension of the due submission date, we will issue a SOA (Statement of Attainment) for only those units completed during the face-to-face component of the course. All participants 1

will be provided with alternative options to complete the project if needed and we will provide you with as much flexibility as possible to ensure you gain the best outcome for you. Assessment Processes Participants must complete the full TAE40110 Face-to-face program, which constitutes a Participant Workbook, which includes the following: Individual Participant Workbook (completed and assessed by trainer during the course) Individual paperwork (writing a training specification and materials) Individual written question and answer worksheets Individual presentations (x 2) Individual paperwork (writing assessment specifications and materials) And And Group activities (including trialing training and assessment materials) Group question and answer worksheets Individual Post-course projects (see below). The project encompasses the design, development and delivery of an accredited workplace training to cover at least one unit of competence for a target group and provide work-based facilitation for at least 8 participants and trial an assessment instrument *Post-course Project This project holistically addresses those units noted above in the SOA mapping. Participants are required to research, design and write a learning program to cover at least one unit of competence or accredited module. For participants already delivering enterprise accredited modules we will discuss the opportunity to align the project to your organisational requirements The program must be written to cover the entire unit of competence; however the delivery of a minimum of two consecutive sessions within a workplace or simulated environment (with each session at least 40-60 minutes) The project also requires two work-based facilitation programs (with eight (8) individuals) to be undertaken. Participants are expected to document how they have ensured the development of competence through the activities (or opportunities for practice) that will meet several (clusters) or separate performance criteria from the unit of competence 2

Participants will be expected to show how they might modify the training and assessment material to suit the LLN requirements of their expected learner group (learner characteristics). Project materials must be in the form of print-based learning resources (however hand written materials may be accepted). Video/audio recordings and/or other media are welcome as an alternative submission (please speak to us prior to submitting your materials). Participants will have 8 weeks to complete the post-course project. All project documentation is expected to be submitted electronically. During the face-to-face course participants will complete part of the postcourse project with the remainder expected to demonstrate the transfer of learned outcomes. Incomplete Assessments Where a participant does not (or is unable) to complete both the Face-to-face components and Post-course Project components of the assessment required to complete the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, Carson will consult with the individual to determine provisions for completion (i.e. reattendance, re-assessment, RPL or other options customised to suit the individual and within our ability to do so). All individuals will be provided options for appeal for final assessments. RPL/RCC As a Registered Training Organisation we offer opportunities for recognition for prior learning (RPL) under our scope of registration. Competencies may be attained in a number of ways including a combination of formal or informal learning and education, work experience or general life experience. Evidence to support competency may take a variety of forms and could include certification, references from past employers, testimonials from clients and work samples. In this process all forms of portfolio or other documentation provided for RPL will be assessed against the rules of evidence to ensure it is valid, reliable, current and sufficient. Our RPL guide provides a detailed list of suitable evidence, including: Formal or informal education and training Experiences in the workplace General life experience, and/or Any combination of the above. Applications for RPL will be discussed with each applicant on an individual basis.
