AQF Qualifications

 

 


An Overview of the AQF

 

A qualification is the award granted upon completion of an accredited course of study at school, university, TAFE or a private education provider such as State Enterprise Training.

An accredited course is one that has undergone a government administered process of review, either directly through relevant state and territory authorities or indirectly through universities which are appointed 'self-accrediting' entities. An increasing number of courses have national accreditation, giving them recognition throughout Australia by industry and education bodies.

 

The Australian Qualifications Framework

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) provides a comprehensive, nationally consistent yet flexible framework for all qualifications in post-compulsory education and training. The framework was introduced Australia-wide on 1 January 1995.

The AQF connects the schools sector, vocational education and training sector and higher education sector in a single framework, listing the qualifications available in each sector, and providing guidelines about the links between them.

The Training and Assessment Training Package

 

The TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package is designed to meet the current and future competency development and qualification needs of new and existing personnel working in a broad range of work functions and activities within vocational education and training. It provides a clear set of benchmarks to support both initial competency achievement and ongoing staff and professional development.

 

The TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package addresses a range of competency areas that represent the key areas of work undertaken within organisations that provide training and assessment services. Each of these broad areas is called a Field in the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package. Seven Fields have been identified with an eighth Field encompassing imported competency standards. The Fields are:

 

Field 1 - Learning Environment

Field 2 - Learning Design

Field 3 - Delivery and Facilitation

Field 4 - Assessment

Field 5 - Training Advisory Services

Field 6 - Coordination, Management and Quality of Training and/or Assessment Services

Field 7 - Language, Literacy and Numeracy Practice

Field 8 - Imported Units

The units have been packaged into two qualifications:

 

TAA40104 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

TAA50104 Diploma of Training and Assessment.

Further details are set out in the relevant sections of the Training Package.
Certificate IV in Training and Assessment                      Code: TAA40104
