Training Package Update TAE Training & Education
Project Timelines NPRG and SME mee(ng Dra] 1 Consulta(on/Review of Dra] 1 Dra] 2 Valida(on Case for Endorsement Submission to NSSC Endorsed Sept/Oct 2013 Oct 2013 Nov/Dec 2013 Jan/Feb/March 2014 April 2014 May 2014 June 2014
Qualifications in TAE Now TAE80113 Grad Dip Adult LLN Practice TAE80213 Grad Dip Adult LLN Leadership Proposed to add TAE40114 Cert IV TAA TAE50114 Diploma of VET TAE50214 Diploma of TDD TAE80314 Grad Cert Web based learning
Major Changes Deletion of TAE50310 Diploma of International Education Services and TAE70311 Vocational Graduate Certificate in International Services because of lack of demand Deletion of TAE70210 Vocational Graduate Certificate in Management (Learning) and TAE80210 Vocational Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) because of issues relating to AQF alignment and relationship to new BSB management qualifications.
Certificate IV in Training and Assessment Draft 2: TAELLN411 unit in Core; agreed 8 Core plus 2 electives All Core Units (except LLN) require the assessor of the unit to hold the Diploma of VET or equivalent Added entry requirement ( Those entering this program must already hold at least one unit of competency or qualification that they intend to use as the basis of the vocational training they will deliver and assess after completion of TAE40114 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment )
Why? LLN unit in core is a staged approach announced in 2011 Key stakeholders want Cert IV delivered by more highly qualified people. The Certificate IV to stand out as the required qualification for teaching and assessing in VET, and to encourage RTOs to use well qualified and experienced trainers in this program Entry requirement to encourage this focus
Implications LLN unit is already endorsed, can t add Assessor Requirements to it. Strengthening the Cert IV as the VET qualification means it is less likely the qualification will be able to be used for other purposes - may need other qualifications to be developed later
Other changes-draft 1- Draft 2 TAE50114 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training Replacement of LLN401 with LLN501 in the core of the qualification CORE units each require the assessor to hold the Diploma of VET or equivalent Relatively minor changes in the content of units and assessment requirements, but foundation skills rewritten in many units to focus more tightly on the requirements of the unit.
