This skill set is for people who want to be able to train others in the workplace. The training can be accredited or non-accredited and you may include coaching at the individual or small group level. This means you don't need to have a full Cert IV in Training and Assessment to start passing on your wisdom and experience to less experienced people in your workplace.

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, prepare for and facilitate the vocational training of individual and group learners via a face-to-face, in-person delivery mode. It includes customising and using existing session plans and learning resources, using these plans to facilitate training, and reviewing own practice. The unit applies to entry-level vocational education and training (VET) teachers and trainers who use training and technical skills to deliver a training base.
The enrolment period for this course is 3 months, which is ample time for the average student who can only study part-time and outside normal working hours, to complete all of the work and assessments in this course. It just requires regular study hours and reaching out for help if and when you need it.
Yes! If you choose to do the full Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122) at some point in the future, the units in this course are a direct credit transfer across so you wouldn't have to repeat them. AND we reduce the cost of your Cert IV course cost for every unit we can tick off via a credit transfer. BONUS!
We know that right now you probably “need” to do this training and you’re looking for fast and easy so it’s relatively painless for you. We get it, so we’ve spent more time on our end making it as straightforward for you as possible, and finding ways to do our part more efficiently so we’re not the bottleneck!
Don't believe what we say though, check out our reviews on Google and Trustpilot - See what others have said about learning with us!
Once your enrolment is finalised, this is when you are set up with a login to your Learner Portal. An email is sent with everything you need to have and know to get started and inside the Learner Portal is a video introduction that will show you how to navigate around it.
Inside the learner portal you'll find all of your units listed in a logical order, with all lessons in PDF's and videos, broken down into smaller chunks with comprehensive assessment guides to make it as easy as possible to know what you need to do to complete them right the first time. And as you complete each item, they are marked as complete so you can easily see where you're up to when you next log in.
The flexibility of our online approach means that if you need to take a break from studying, we’ve got that covered too.
We offer the option to defer (pause) your studies. Whilst you are deferred, your enrolment is inactive, and we pause your enrolment duration. Then, when you are reactivated from deferment, you pick up exactly where you left off and carry on.
Here is what you need to know about deferring:
The most important thing is to contact us if your enrolment isn’t working out as you had planned, so that we can offer you the best support options as and when you need them.
You’ll be sent to a booking page just after making your deposit payment, to book your enrolment interview and a confirmation email will be sent to you with the details of everything you need to have prepared for that interview.
The interview can be booked on the same day but there is a minimum of a 4 hour gap from applying to being able to do the enrolment interview, this is so you have time to get prepared.
HEADS UP: You will need your USI (Student Identifier) before you get to your interview.
This is done via Google Meet where you can ask any additional questions and clear up anything you’re not sure of before enrolling. This is also where we both get to make sure you have chosen the right course pathway and support package for what you really need.
During the interview we’ll conduct a "Suitability Assessment". This is a series questions that will help us determine if you can meet the technical, practical and skill requirements needed for you to be able to confidently complete this course online.
The technical requirements are things like having regular computer access as well as knowledge and confidence navigating things like email, logins and websites. The practical questions are to make sure you have access to the human and physical resources you need to complete the assessments in your course.
We will ask additional questions about your goals, your online experience and comfort level in learning online, your learning ability plus your availability to study.This is all to make sure you're in the right course and set up to succeed before enrolling formally. This gives you more confidence that you can absolutely get all the way to graduation.
If the course is found to be unsuitable for you, your deposit (including the enrolment interview fee of $150) will be fully refunded. If you don't show up for your enrolment interview or if you change your mind after the interview within the 7 day cooling off period, the enrolment fee is not refunded.
If during your Enrolment Interview we discover this course is not suitable for you, we’ll offer other alternative solutions or refund all fees paid, including the $150 deposit.
We offer flexible payment options for every course.
You can pay in full and upfront, but you can also pay a deposit (which includes the $150 non-refundable enrolment interview fee), and choose a fortnightly or weekly payment plan. When you select "Enrol", you will see the various packages available for your course, and once you select the package you want, you will be presented with the various payment options.
If you want to go back and see another package and their payment plan options, just hit "back".
When you will pay your deposit it includes your $150 non-refundable enrolment interview fee. This covers the cost of the behind-the-scenes work and time taken to prepare and run the interview itself because it is a cost to us. It's also not fair to others who could have booked an earlier time with us when people just don't show up.
We do the enrolment interview to make sure that the course is the right course for you, and that you have all of the resources and the time you will need to complete it successfully (baring any unexpected events that could impact it) BEFORE you actually enrol. We have saved many students money, time and frustration by having this interview and discovering that it's unlikely they will complete it successfully for some reason. We are invested in your success from the start.
If the course isn't suitable for you for whatever reason, you will be refunded the whole amount of your deposit, including your $150 enrolment interview fee. If you simply don't show up, the $150 enrolment interview fee won't be refunded should you choose not to go ahead for other reasons.
If an emergency happens and you can’t let us know you won’t be able to make it for some reason, we’re generous when it matters most so there are circumstances where this enrolment interview fee will also be refunded, but this is only on a case by case basis.

The fact that they kept me on track without nagging, but ensuring that did not rush through tasks and that all competencies were met to the correct standard...very much appreciated the gentle nudge on a time poor schedule.

Fortress Learning furnishes their learners with ample materials and support to facilitate successful outcomes. Using the Accelerate platform is straightforward and provides an excellent visualisation of success in real time. Personally, every request I made was answered promptly and considerately. The team of trainers, assessors and support staff were exceedingly generous with their feedback and time- at every turn I knew help was only a phone call away. I further praise Jane and Maniya for providing small goals and targeted feedback that ultimately led to my qualification. Lastly, having undertaken online learning previously, I would not hesitate to say that Fortress Learning has mastered internet based training and have enlightened me as to how quality outcomes can be achieved via correspondence.

As an older aged student I had doubts at first. But with the help and assistance I received from Fortress Learning was just incredible. I had times where life got in the way and of course self doubt that I could achieve the completion of my chosen course. I would highly, highly recommend Fortress for anyone. Huge thanks to Deb.T for your constant support and believing in me that I could achieve this. Thank you all so much.

I left school in 1980 and I'm not IT savvy so that's been my biggest challenge as well as retaining information. Coming from a hands on workplace this has definitely been outside my comfort zone and been a great introduction for what I'm about to embark on. The Fortress teams support has been outstanding and enabled me to fullfill a life time dream of passing on my wealth of knowledge experience and make a positive change so as to equip the new generation with the tools and prepare them for the up and coming challenges that lay ahead of them, thanks Fortress.

I highly recommend Fortress Learning if you are thinking of starting a course or gaining a new qualification. The staff and trainers are thorough, professional, and their attention to detail is excellent. The online portal system is simple to navigate, and the course notes and videos are clear, concise and easy to follow. I found the trainers and assessors to be readily available, prompt in their replies, and in some instances willing to go above and beyond, especially in my case where a deadline was imminent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fortress Learning.

I have studied with Fortress on two occasions now. Each time I have found the quality of their learning materials and availability of their student support to be first class. I find I come away with confidence in the content and a firm understanding of when, how, and why to apply it in my job role. I thoroughly recommend Fortress. Their team is very helpful!

Excellent online learning experience with Fortress. I completed the final 15 modules of a Cert IV in training and assessment with Fortress. Their learning support was exceptional. They were proactive, responsive and practical. I have used other training providers before and was not recommend them. I wholeheartedly recommend Fortress.

I’m not a person who takes to technology and computers easily, I never gained an education through high school. Thanks to Deb and the team at Fortress, I was able to get my qualification to start my dream job, training and assessing apprentices. I would like to thank everyone at Fortress for helping and guiding me along the way, I will be forever grateful!

While numerous RTOs offer the TAE, the course material, assessment guides (if they provide them) and support can vastly differ! Honestly, the best way to work out if an RTO is talking the talk but not walking the walk, is to read their reviews on independent platforms like Trustpilot, and see what others say about their experience with them.
We know you can definitely pay less money for your training elsewhere, but cheap doesn't mean easy-to-understand learning material, the support you need that will actually get you to the finish line or a quality training that will give you the skills and confidence to step into the role when you're done.
We all wish that the saying "you get what you pay for" wasn't real, but there's a reason why we all still say it!
According to the NCVER in their Australian vocational education and training statistics VET student outcomes report for 2022, the national average statistic for students who said that they "experienced improved employment status after completing their VET training", was 65%.
Compare this to the students who did their training with Fortress Learning, and a whopping 83.3% of our students said that they received an improved employment status after completing their studies. That's an increase of over 27% compared to the National Average!
This course can be challenging and many of you are doing it because you “have to”, we get it, so we have gone to great lengths to make the learning material as engaging as possible, we also monitor your progress and reach out if we see you’ve stalled so we can support you to keep going. We are there every step of the way!
