TAE Qualifications

By way of a summary:
  • TAE40110 – Certificate IV in Training and Assessment has been superseded by TAE40116 –Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. MEGT does not have the new qualification on Scope and needs to apply (meeting stringent additional requirements)
  • TAE50111 - Diploma of Vocational Education and Training has been superseded by TAE50116 - Diploma of Vocational Education and Training. MEGT does not have the new qualification on Scope and needs to apply (meeting stringent additional requirements)
  • TA50211 – Diploma of Training Design and Development has been superseded by TAE50216 – Diploma of Training Design and Development. MEGT has already this new qualification on Scope (by automatic update on TGA), however TAS and related delivery materials are still in development.
  • 18 months transition/teach out apply to TAE40110, TAE5011 and TAE50211, with the last date any student can remain enrol in these qualifications being 5 October 2017.
  • At this time there has been no determination requiring existing trainers and assessors to update to the new versions of TAE qualifications. Trainers and Assessors holding the TAE40110 – Certificate IV in Training and Assessment are compliant with SRTO 2015 requirements (for now, and until further advice).
Mary Pyle (Program Leader LLN and TAE) is currently working on preparing the required evidence (see additional evidence requirements), allowing us to lodge addition to Scope applications for the TAE40116 –Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and TAE50116 - Diploma of Vocational Education and Training. 

I understand there is already some external interest for the new qualifications and MEGT is steaming ahead towards the position where we can have these on our Scope as a result of quality submissions, underpinned by quality products. Until then, please inform external and internal channels of the work being undertaken towards Scope updates.
