   What does the TAE40110 course cover?

   TAE40110 is the new code for the Certificate IV Training and Assessment qualification, which replaces the former TAA40104 Certificate IV Training and Assessment qualification. SCILI has been accepting enrolments exclusively for the TAEA since its inception in January 2011. The course is designed to meet the needs of people who are working in, or plan to work in the training sector in industry while at the same time recognising that the delivery of training and education in a VET context requires wider and more diverse skills, knowledge and competence. The philosophical basis of the program is the application of the principles and practices embedded in TAE10 to the delivery of quality services to meet the organisational needs and learner needs in relation to training and assessment.
