Attendance & commitment

In order to achieve the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, students will need to:

1. Work through the knowledge areas of the course online to obtain and understand the required knowledge to complete the theory-based assessments
2. Demonstrate their knowledge and skills through the completion of several practical assessment tasks.
   1. For students who have enrolled in the online model, practical assessments will take place in their own time with students needing to access people to act as their learners during these sessions. All practical assessments that take place off campus will need to be filmed and submitted via our online learning platform for assessment. Students who are working in a training environment may be able to utilise their workplace for the assessment tasks, however, this should be discussed with their assessor to ensure it meets assessment requirements.
3. Complete the required documentation to support their practical sessions & assessments.
