The key study areas are Design - we look at the process of unpacking units of competency to determine the training need, then select units of competency based on the clients needs for training. The next area is Language, Literacy and Numeracy - we investigate the process of determining LLN levels of learners and adjust our materials and learning to suit. This is followed by Delivery - we explore the strategies of how we can deliver to groups and one on one training in the workplace. Finally, its Assessment - exploring the development, trialing and reviewing of those assessment tools as required to determine competence against the unit of competency.

• After completion of the Certificate IV Training and Assessment (TAE40116) qualification, students willing to further their studies, can move onto the Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (TAE50116) qualification.
