Tip 4: Teacher, trainer and assessor qualifications
The AQTF requires that all teachers, trainers and
assessors hold competency in the standards
prescribed by the National Quality Council.
Appendix 2 of the AQTF Users’ Guide provides
details of necessary teacher, trainer, and assessor
competencies.
Innovation and Business Services Australia (IBSA)
is the Industry Skills Council with responsibility for
the Training and Assessment qualifications. The new
TAE10 – Training and Education Training Package has
been endorsed, replacing the TAA04 Training and
Assessment Training Package.
It is notable that in the review of the Training
Package, the increasing importance of LLN became
apparent. This has been addressed in TAE10 through
several initiatives:
• The redevelopment of the LLN unit in the
Certificate IV level qualification for Training and
Assessment: TAELLN401A Address adult language,
literacy and numeracy skills.
TAELLN401A is specifically designed for vocational
trainers and assessors. It addresses the skills and
knowledge that trainers and assessors must possess
to provide appropriate instruction and assessment
to learners. It uses a ‘recognition’ approach to LLN
issues with the expectation that expertise will be
drawn from relevant professionals as required.
• A new unit: TAELLN501A Support the development
of adult language, literacy and numeracy skills.
TAELLN501A applies to teachers, trainers and
assessors who wish to support adults in developing
their LLN skills. They require some knowledge of
adult literacy and numeracy, as well as strategies
to support learners enrolled in VET courses. It is
more than just a ‘recognition’ approach. Its focus is
analysing, evaluating and reviewing issues around
LLN and support strategies.
• Two new qualifications at AQF levels 7 and 8.
TAE70110 Vocational Graduate Certificate in Adult
Language, Literacy and Numeracy Practice.
The focus of TAE70110 is on planning, preparation,
delivery and evaluation of LLN knowledge and skills.
It is designed to develop specialist skills to address
learner LLN skill development needs.
TAE80110 Vocational Graduate Diploma of Adult
Language, Literacy and Numeracy Leadership.
The focus of TAE80110 is on research, policy
analysis, and innovative program and resource
design. It provides existing teachers, trainers
and assessors with leadership and research
opportunities.
You should refer to the Training Package and
Qualification notes and to the human resource
statements in order to be clear about the specific
requirements of these qualifications.
Support materials for TAELLN401A can be
downloaded from the Innovation and Business
Skills Council website.
In Queensland, to find out where TAELLN401A
is being delivered go to the National Training
Information Service website.
IBSA has developed a User’s Guide to support
people undertaking these new qualifications or
wishing to upgrade their existing qualification.
The User’s Guide includes a comprehensive
mapping of the existing qualification 40499SA
Advanced Diploma of LLN Practice in VET against
both new Training Package qualifications.
