Updates to TAE v 3.0

27 Nov 2019 - A new version of the TAE was released today. In brief, the advice from Skills for Australia includes the following...

Two new Units of Competency have been added as electives:

- TAEXDB401 Plan and implement individual support plans for learners with disability

- TAEXDB501 Develop and implement accessible training and assessment plans for learners with disability

Each of the following TAE qualifications has had one additional unit added to the elective bank: 

- TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

- TAE50116 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training

- TAE50216 Diploma of Training Design and Development.

Please note: Whilst this update includes a new release of the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, there has been no change to the qualification's bank of core units. The new unit (TAEXDB401) has been added to the elective bank to expand options for learners. Further, this update does not alter or impact the trainer and assessor credential requirement upgrade - see here for Federal Department of Education and Training FAQs. It also doesn't impact or change the requirements for learners who hold or are attaining the Certificate IV.    

How do serious games work for review and assessment?

What if we approached training differently?

I used these cards (Competency Conversations) today as an activity to practice applying the Principles of Assessment and Rules of evidence as the starter activity of day 2 of our three day TAEASS502 program. Very useful and worked very well in creating engagement and deeper learning. Anne Buhagiar, Trainer in TAE

Are you assessing ALL of the unit of competency or just the knowledge?

Use the games and LLN activities to teach, practise and assess foundation skills and industry knowledge.

What trainers are saying

Glen from Adapt Education has played the games... (BSBITU202) (we)'Used this as a learning activity. This enabled us to identify students who were/were not ready to proceed on to assessment.' and that 'Students really embraced something different.'
