The TAE40116 at Ripponlea Institute

 

At Ripponlea, we believe that the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is a key factor in trainer confidence, quality delivery of a course, student engagement, effective compliance practices and student completion of qualifications.

​

We have a strong emphasis on trainer engagement and understanding, with ongoing support and encouragement throughout the course, to ensure a positive experience and mindset about teaching and learning. 

​

Consistent progress and course completion is a key focus. To assist teachers in their studies, we provide clear steps and instructions, personalised feedback, ongoing tracking of units attained, and positive and immediate responses to all approaches for help and advice along the way. We work closely with course candidates to help them stray on track and to keep the study momentum going. 

​

We tailor our course structure to candidates's needs, making sure that coursework is relevant to their area of teaching, suitable for their school or organisation context, and that their learning can be transferred effectively into their classrooms or workplaces when they begin to deliver and assess. 

​

Course Structure

 

We have a strong focus on candidate engagement and completion of the course, with ongoing support and personalised tracking of progress. We tailor our course to your context and needs, providing rapid feedback and clear steps towards completion. Our coursework takes candidates through three phases of learning: Design, Delivery and Assessment. The course is made up of ten units and these are covered in the following order:

​

• TAEDES401: Design and develop learning programs

• TAEDES402: Use training packages and accredited courses to meet client needs

• TAELLN411: Address adult language, literacy and numeracy skills

• BSBCMM401: Make a Presentation*

• TAEDEL401: Plan, organise and deliver group-based learning*

• TAEDEL402: Plan, organise and facilitate learning in the workplace

• TAEASS502: Design and develop assessment tools

• TAEASS401: Plan assessment activities and processes

• TAEASS402: Assess competence

• TAEASS403: Participate in assessment validation

​

For those with a background in teaching, we offer the opportunity to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning for 2 units*.

​

Delivery Model

 

Self-paced Independent Study

​We currently run the TAE course as an independent (self-paced) course. All coursework is competed in a candidate's own time. The course includes one 2-hour induction workshop to begin and another workshop halfway through the course (a range of dates offered). With this approach, the enrolment period is for 12 months, however, we encourage completion in approximately 7-8 months. We run induction workshops depending on timing and candidate need.

​

Learning Materials

We do not use a platform for ‘online learning’ (only a simple platform for access to learning/reading material). We work closely with individual candidates to progressively provide coursework as they are ready for the next step, to track their progress and ensure completion within each individual’s own timeframe and goals. Feedback from candidates about this approach has been extremely positive.

 

Study Time

Note that the TAE40116 has a large volume of learning and requires setting aside at least 10-12 hours per week – this can vary depending on a candidate’s experience, background, approach to study and personal study habits.

​

​Mange your own study time with access to support whenever you need it.
