The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is delivered across two initial sessions of face-to-face training, with each session taking five days = ten days of face-to-face training in total.

Session 1 (5 days)

The first session consists of five days of face-to-face training (in-person or online), where you will develop essential skills in vocational education and training. This session focuses on core concepts, including competency-based assessment, facilitating engaging training sessions, and integrating essential skills into the learning process. By the end of Session 1, you will have completed key units and will receive a partial Statement of Attainment (SOA), marking a significant milestone in your journey to becoming a qualified trainer and assessor.

Session 2 (5 days)

The second session also consists of five days of face-to-face training (either in-person or online). In this final session, you will build on your learnings in Session 1 and focus on applying your knowledge in real-world environments. You'll develop assessment tools, mentor learners, and further hone your training skills. For planning purposes, please view key dates for Session 2 .

You will be assessed on your competency across 12 units and will need to successfully pass both sessions to obtain your full qualification.

Online Modules (self-paced)

In addition to Sessions 1 and 2 above, you are required to complete a series of online learning modules which will make up the rest of your course. During these, you'll build on the skills you've learnt during the face-to-face sessions, and dive deeper into the various disciplines of Training and Assessment.

You can access these modules online anytime and work through them at your own pace – giving you the chance to take control of the time it takes you to complete the course, and providing you with a knowledge base you can come back to as you progress to becoming a qualified Trainer and Assessor.
