Delivered through our RTO Ripponlea Institute (RTO 21230) we have a strong emphasis on engagement and understanding, with ongoing support and encouragement throughout the course. To assist learners in their studies, we provide clear steps and instructions, personalised feedback, ongoing tracking of units attained, and positive and immediate responses to all approaches for help and advice along the way.
We aim for teachers who complete the TAE with us to feel passionate and excited about teaching VET, and competent and confident as they get started.
The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course is made up of twelve units, however, qualified secondary school teachers have reduced requirements in order to be able to teach VET. Secondary school teachers need only complete three TAE units to attain the TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set.
For those who do not hold a full teaching qualification, we offer the full twelve units of the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, with units specifically selected and coursework tailored throughout for those working in secondary schools.
Anyone teaching VET-in-Schools programs must hold a relevant TAE qualification. Ripponlea Institute's TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, along with associated Skill Sets, is designed specifically for teachers in the secondary school context.
It depends on your existing qualifications. Qualified secondary school teachers have reduced requirements and only need to complete three TAE units to attain the TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set. Teaching staff who don't hold a full teaching qualification complete the full twelve units of the TAE40122, with coursework tailored for secondary school delivery.
There are two: the TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set (three units, $1,100) and the TAESS00024 VET Delivered to School Students Teacher Enhancement Skill Set (five units, $1,850). Both are run as a series of full-day online workshops, with some coursework completed independently.
For the Skill Sets, the enrolment period is 4 months, though completion within two weeks of finishing the workshops is encouraged. For the full TAE40122 Certificate IV, the enrolment period is 12 months, with completion encouraged within approximately 7 to 8 months.
This varies by course. The Assessor Skill Set requires approximately 8 to 10 hours outside of workshops, the Teacher Enhancement Skill Set requires approximately 20 to 25 hours, and the full TAE40122 (run as an independent, self-paced program) requires around 5 to 6 hours per week over the enrolment period.
All enrolments include twice-weekly online support sessions, which learners can join at any point and as often as they choose. Learners also get direct contact with assessors, structured coursework delivered in manageable parts, clear feedback, and ongoing progress updates.
