Two Skills the TAE40110 Certificate IV Gives
The TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment is misunderstood. It is about training, and it is about assessing, but it is about much more than that. In fact, it is in not so much about anything. Instead, it is FOR a few things. Knowing this purpose of the Cert IV TAE can empower people to make better decisions about whether it is suitable for them and their employees. The TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment equips people to be able to design and deliver training and conduct assessments in a broad range of workplace and other settings. It is easy to see that TAFE teachers will need it, because their job is by definition training people and then assessing them. However, the purpose of the qualification goes far beyond those who are employed as teachers and trainers. With this qualification, any worker with skills and/or knowledge to share … Read More..
Three Reasons Why People Don’t Finish Their TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
The TAE Cert IV is not simple to complete. The last time I looked, of all the people who sign up to the Cert IV in the almost 3000 Australian training organisations who deliver it, only about 50% of people actually finish the course. Why? I think there are three reasons. 1. People sign up to do the course thinking that it is something that it is not. The course is not just about learning how to train people. It is not just about how to come up with better PowerPoint presentations and have groups of people eating out of our hands. Expecting that the course will mostly be about the skills of teaching will lead to great disappointment, frustration and annoyance. After all, it is about all the legal stuff and policies and gumpf that say how we can train people and assess people. It is about knowing where … Read More..

The Cert IV TAE and the Labyrinth of Doors
If this title sounds a bit fantastical, then that is the purpose. Fantasy has an element of mystery, an element of magic and also an element of difficulty. The TAE Cert IV is a bit the same. I have been thinking lately about how the Certificate IV in Training & Assessment tries to be many things to many people. It is designed to provide the skills for so many different jobs, that it risks being seen as irrelevant to many of them. That is what many of my students tell me. But the other thing that many students tell me is that it opens doors. This is not surprising. Indeed, most students do the course because they know it will open a new door for them. Or, because they know that a door will be closed on them if they do not get their Cert IV TAE. But, there is … Read More..
What it means to graduate with a Cert IV TAE with Fortress Learning
Two of the most common questions we receive from prospective students for theTAE40110 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment are: what does the course involve? how does your course differ from any of the others that are around? We can answer the first one, but it is not really our desire to comment on what other training organisations do.

The benchmarks we use are part of that information. … Read More..
