Overview
Who this is for:
This diploma course is specifically for Victorian TAFE and RTO trainers who want to gain a higher pay rate.
You can enrol in any diploma specialisation, but you have to complete different units and do things slightly differently to gain the skills needed to meet Level 2.1-2.3, compared to those just wanting to complete the TAE50122 Diploma of VET.
Entry Requirements:
There are now several entry requirements, including holding the TAE40116 or TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessing, having preferably one year of experience working in an RTO, and having access to a diverse group of people to collaborate with in the workplace and to lead and mentor in training and assessment.
These are the unit pre-requisites:
- TAEDES411 Use Nationally Recognised Training Products to Meet Vocational Training Needs (or its previous version, TAEDES402 Use Training Packages and Accredited Courses to Meet Client Needs)
- TAEDEL411 Facilitate Vocational Training**
- TAEASS412 Assess Competence**
** = or the most recent previous version of this unit, regardless of whether it was deemed equivalent or not equivalent.
Job Opportunities:
Depending on your chosen specialisation the diploma can open doors for roles such as:
- Head or Lead VET teacher, trainer and assessor
- Senior VET teacher, trainer and assessor
- Instructional or LMS designer
- E-Learning Consultant
- RTO Manager
- Compliance and quality manager
- Training manager
- Program director
- TAE Trainer and Assessor*
*Note - the Standards for RTO’s 2015 require TAE Trainers and Assessors to hold the TAE Diploma or higher qualification. For those completing the TAE50122 Diploma of VET with the intention of teaching the TAE40122, we would recommend completing the Diploma of VET with the Advanced training and assessment specialisation
