TAA40104 to TAE40110 Upgrade RPL Kit v2-2
Welcome message
This TAA40104 to TAE40110 Upgrade RPL Kit is designed to help you put together evidence
through a recognition process to achieve the upgraded qualification of Certificate IV in Training
and Assessment (TAE40110). This is a formal process that is based on a portfolio of evidence
submitted by you, the candidate.
MRWED has developed this Upgrade RPL Kit to make applying for the upgraded qualification
as easy as possible. The evidence check lists and templates that have been created as part of
this kit will not guarantee your eligibility; additional evidence may be requested by a MRWED
Learning Leader to support your claim of current competency
How much does it cost?


$199 if you completed TAA40104 with MRWED
$249 for all other applicants
These prices include all RPL assessment fees and issuance where all Units of Competency
completed in TAA40104 map across to TAE40110. If this is not the case (usually because the
applicant did not complete the TAADEL402A elective unit in TAA40104 then additional RPL
fees may be payable). A copy of the mapping analysis is available from www.mrwed.edu.au.
What happens after I apply?
After receiving your application MRWED will immediately process your payment or issue an
invoice (if requested). Within 5 days of receiving your payment a MRWED Learning Leader will
contact you with the result of your application.
After your eligibility to receive the upgrade is confirmed your Certificate will be issued within 7
days.
What happens if my application is unsuccessful?
If there is insufficient evidence to complete your upgrade you will be contacted by a MRWED
Learning leader advising of the specific gaps in your application. If you are unable to provide
the necessary evidence, the MRWED Learning Leader will discuss Training options with you.
Upon request the applicant will be given a full refund of their Upgrade course fee.
