Entry Requirements
You must hold the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. Previous qualifications are no longer current and cannot be upgraded. You may be able to apply for partial RPL if you are still working or affiliated to the VET sector. Call to discuss this option with one of our qualified trainers and assessors.
It is recommended that you have good computer skills, including ability to research on the internet and basic keyboard skills to complete assessment templates. For those who do not have basic-good computer skills a foundation course is recommended prior to commencement. These courses are available via Murray House Resource Centre. Please discuss this with us prior to enrolling in this qualification.
Before you are accepted for the program, you will have a discussion with a trainer and assessor about your learning outcomes, training needs, special requirements, your commitment and your ability to complete this course. There are some pre-entry requirements to determine your ability to successfully complete this course.
Pre-course entry assessment
Before you attend the program, you will be asked to complete a ‘pre-course entry assessment. This is to provide evidence that you are capable of the level of comprehension and computer skills needed to successfully complete the course. Students who cannot complete this short assessment are advise to enroll in a computer/literacy short course, and then apply again when they are in a stronger position to meet the needs of the complexity of the learning outcomes required according to the Australian Qualification Framework – Level 4 (as above).
Telephone interview
A trainer and assessor will contact you to have a discussion about your learning outcomes, training needs, special requirements and your career aspirations so that you get what you want from your studies. You will be guided to explore options that suit your individual requirements within the program and to ensure that the program is suitable for you.
You will also be asked to provide a resume so that the trainer and assessor can assess your prior knowledge and existing skill set.
Credit Transfers
It is essential that you provide MHRC with any units that you believe you may have already achieved at enrolment stage so they can be assessed for a CREDIT TRANSFER, and which in turn could bring your course cost down.
Verification of all CREDIT TRANSFERS are to be undertaken by MHRC before issuing the TAE40116 Certificate in Training & Assessment on successful completion of the upgrade units that you have enrolled for.
Resume
You will also be asked to provide a resume along with previous qualifications so that the trainer and assessor can see your prior knowledge and existing skill set.
How will you be assessed?
Assessment is competency based and evidence based, so you will be required to demonstrate evidence of your ability to perform the tasks required and the knowledge required to complete the units of competency.
Assessment Methods: You will be required to complete a series of structured activities that are relevant to the VET sector and reflect current industry practice. The evidence that you produce will be contextualised for your own workplace, or a workplace of your choice.
You will be directly observed by your assessor performing tasks that are required by a trainer and assessor, such participating in validation sessions conducted by the Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
You will be assessed by:
- Knowledge Questions
- Structured Activities
- Observation (Participation in validation sessions will be completed and observed by your assessor at a time that is mutually agreed). This is only required if you are completing a full upgrade.
How long will it take to complete?
This will depend on how many units you require, however a general guideline is 1 unit = 1 month.
The validation sessions will be completed and observed by your assessor during the course of the workshop. You will be required to complete structured activities to demonstrate your skills which includes the design of assessment plans and assessment tools and assessing individuals against nationally recognised units of competency.
You will commence these activities during the training but will not have sufficient time during this period to complete all the requirements. You will be required to continue your studies, gather assessment evidence and complete knowledge questions in your own time after the delivery in the face to face workshops. You will be provided with access to a Learning Management System (LMS) where you will be able to access resources.
Depending upon your prior knowledge the time taken to complete this will vary greatly. If you are currently training and assessing and designing quality assessment tools these may be provided as RPL or partial RPL for your upgrade. This evidence must meet the rules of evidence. You will discuss this with your assessor during your pre-assessment when any opportunities for RPL will be identified.
Experienced people with good computer skills may achieve competency in a shorter period of time than those with less experience. You will be issued with a CREDIT TRANSFER for all units that you currently hold that are equivalent in the TAE40110. If you already hold the above units or equivalent then you may only be required to complete the GAP if you wish to hold the TAE40116 most current qualification.
Payment Terms:
Full payment will be required to commence.

When is the course scheduled?
The upgrade units are embedded in the TAE40116 course, and you will be required to attend certain days depending on what units you are enrolling in. Your current qualifications will be assessed and a Training Plan issued to you by your trainer.

ASSESSMENT units upgrade is embedded in the Assessment Cluster (1 – 5 days depending on gaps)
Please note that Trainers who hold the TAE40110 need TAELLN411 & TAEASS502 to be compliant.
Upgrading the two superseded units to TAEASS401 & TAEASS403, will enable Trainers to meet the the criteria for the full TAE40116, this is a ‘gap’ assessment, which should enable Trainers to transfer easier to the new TAE qualification expected to be released 2022/2023.
At MHRC we cluster TAEASS502 and the two ‘gap’ units TAEASS401 & TAEASS403 in to a 4 day face to face training session, so that all Trainers are in the best possible position to move forward with their qualification when the new TAE course is released.
