TAE40122 FAQs
I hold the TAE40116. Should I upgrade to the TAE40122?
As long as you hold the TAE40116 there is no need to upgrade unless you wish to hold the most recent version of the qualification. If you hold an older qualification such as the TAE10110, give us a call to discuss your options.
I'm a registered secondary teacher, do I need to undertake TAE40122?
No. If you plan to deliver VET training for an RTO your education qualification will be sufficient. However, if you plan to assess VET units of competency or qualifications, you will need to complete TAESS00019 Workplace Assessor Skill Set. We have designed a program specifically for registered secondary teachers to complete this skill set.
