Self Assessment
As the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment can be obtained in a variety of ways, please read
the instructions below and complete the Individual Learning Plan for your self assessment.
1. Conversion from TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment to TAE40110 Certificate IV in
Training and Assessment.
Some units from the TAA40104 qualification have been deemed equivalent to units from the
TAE40110. Conversion will require the completion of a Conversion Form, a Currency Verification Form
(proof of current application of skills) and the submission of your TAA40104 academic record (with
completed units listed). The Conversion and Currency Verification Forms can be obtained from CBS
Training.
2. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
Please review the Workplace Documents List and the Question Bank on the pages following. If you
have developed the documents listed and are able to answer the questions provided then you may be
a good RPL candidate. This process involves submitting your workplace evidence and being
interviewed. To complete units via RPL, please see the instructions and forms following in this RPL Kit.
3.
Gap Training and Assessment
If you are unable to complete units using the two methods above, you will be able to enrol into
training. This process involves attending workshops and completing assessments external to the
workshops. The conversion or RPL processes must be completed before enrolling into training. Please
contact Centre for Training Excellence for registration and course information.
