TAE40116 Self-assessment tool Version 1, 2019
How to use this toolThe TAA40104 is past the stage where it can credit transfer into TAE qualifications. That deadline expired in October 1017. The ability to RPL into TAE40116 rests not so much with the content of the TAE40104 course but the currency of VET professional experience since graduating. This includes workplace experience, professional development and active involvement in VET networks where professional knowledge and experience is exchanged.
If you are a trainer, assessor or other vocational education and training (VET) practitioner, and you want to conduct an initial self-assessment against units of competency in the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment from the TAE16 Training and Education Training Package — this self-assessment tool allows you to respond to questions against each unit of competency, and progressively gather evidence as part of a process for recognising your competence.
This self-assessment tool is divided into two parts.
Part A: introduction, and instructions for using the tool.
Part B: contains the forms used in the self-assessment process:
1. Personal information and declaration form — use this to identify your completed self-assessment.
2. Skill scan — use this to identify and track the units you will self-assess.
3. Portfolio of evidence form — use this to progressively record details of your evidence.
4. Self-assessment forms — use these forms to respond to the self-assessment questions for each unit of competency in the core of TAE40116.
Using the tool to demonstrate equivalence in an RPL processIf you are using the tool as part of a process to demonstrate your equivalent competence for the purposes of TAE40116 vocational competency and regulatory compliance requirements, submit the tool with your portfolio of evidence to an RTO.
This evidence should incorporate:
The testamur and transcripts of your original TAE40104. These must be verified by the issuing RTO and not from JP notarisation.
Your CV and job descriptions, verification of currency of practice from the organisations in which you have been employed since attaining your TAE40104.
The enrolment form and fees. Note that both the declaration and the privacy statement must be signed.
Keep a copy of your portfolio for your own records in case you need to substantiate your claims for equivalence in an internal or external audit.

Instructions for using this tool1. Access the Qualification Framework for the Certificate IV in Training and
Assessment from https://training.gov.au/Training/Details/TAE40116. This will give you access to all components of the qualification and the supporting companion documents.
2. Each unit is published as a continuous document online but as two separate downloadable documents:
The first part is the competency standards which comprise elements and performance criteria and foundation skills. These are the components that relate to workplace performance.
The second part is the assessment requirements which comprise the performance evidence (PE) that lists the ‘products’ which are the minimum requirements for verifying competency. Your application must at least address these in order to be valid. It also lists the required knowledge evidence and the conditions for assessment.
3. Go through the assessment requirement documents for each core unit so that you understand the summative requirements you must satisfy.
4. Note that you will need to refer to each unit of competency as you work through the self-assessment.
5. Choose the elective unit that you will self-assess, and tick them in the Unit summary form. TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is comprised of 10 units – 9 core and 1 elective. The schedules for the electives are in a separate document and may be sent to you as stand-alone documents if you prefer.
6. Progressively develop a portfolio of evidence, building up your references on the Portfolio of evidence form. Any one piece of evidence may be useful for a number of units of competency.
The evidence you provide must be:
current — showing experience you’ve had within at least the last five years
valid — verifying that your skills and knowledge meet the requirements specified in the unit of competency
authentic — proving that it was really produced by you or relates to you
reliable — including a range of evidence from a range of contexts
sufficient — covering all aspects of the relevant units of competency.
Ensure that the evidence you identify is accessible and able to be verified if necessary.

TAE40116 Self-assessment tool Version 1, 2019
4. Go to the Self-assessment forms and complete the key questions for the first unit you wish to self-assess. For any gaps identified, you may need to participate in further training or undertake additional experience and assessment in order to gain competence. If there are no or few gaps, move on to the follow-up questions. Identify and reference evidence as you go.
5. Work through the units until you have completed a self-assessment for all the units for which you will nominate equivalence.
6. Complete and sign the Personal information and declaration form.
7. Competency conversation/Knowledge revisionA competency conversation is a meeting between you and your assessor, where you discuss and explain your work experience. It is an informal discussion - not an examination. The competency conversation may be face to face or by telephone, Skype or other means of communication. Your assessor will make notes of your responses. They may ask if you consent to having your responses recorded, so that they have an accurate and complete record. You have the right to refuse recording of your voice or videoing the meeting.Each set of unit schedules has a list of the types of questions you may respond to. Read each of the questions carefully and think about how you will respond. Note that this is an AQF4 qualification and the responses need to be in full sentences and are often required to provide examples of how the concepts or principles are applied.If, upon reading the knowledge evidence (KE) in the assessment requirements for each unit from training.gov.au, there are items where you have ‘gaps’ , discuss this with your assessor.Your assessor may suggest that you submit typed answers prior to holding the competency conversation, as this can reduce the time and cost of the RPL process. If your typed answers are sufficient, the competency conversation may not be necessary.
8. Third party reports. These may be from your employer, your supervising training manager or a senior co-worker who is able to verify your skills. Two (2) reports per unit are required and you should copy and paste these forms into a separate document to give to your referees.
If you are unable, for any reason to obtain a report, please discuss this with your assessor as alternative methods of skills assessment might be required for any gaps.
9. Gap training. If there are self-identified, or assessor identified, gaps in your knowledge and skills you will be offered the opportunity to undertake gap training. In most cases this may be segments of a unit, but can be a requirement to undertake a whole unit because of major changes from TAA40104 up until the current qualification.
This may incur extra costs and you will be notified of this before you proceed.
10. Filling the gaps with an assessment only pathway. If you are confident that you possess the skills, but cannot access documentary or other evidence of this, you may undertake to fill the gap by assessment only. There is no additional charge for this as it is part of the overall assessment process.

Competency conversation/Knowledge revision
Main question – to start the discussion:
What is your role in planning and implementing learning through work-based activities?
Supplementary questions – to expand upon the main question:
What kinds of work-based learning occurs in your organisation and what is your role in supporting this?
What methods do you use to identify skill needs in the workplace? Please illustrate this with an example.
When designing a learning program for work-based learning, how do you match the methods of training delivery to the learning styles or preferences of individual learners? Please give an example.
In relation to a work-based learning pathway that you planned and implemented, what were the work health and safety considerations and how did you manage safety?
What kinds of contractual arrangements can apply in a work-based learning pathway? What is your experience of planning and implementing this kind of learning pathway?
In relation to a work-based learning pathway that you implemented, how did you monitor the supervision and support for the learner? How often did you meet with the learner and what was your relationship with them?
Using the same example, how did you go about explaining the objectives of the work-based learning and the processes to the learner? What was their reaction?
In this example, what was the sequence of the workplace tasks and why did you decide upon this sequence.
What techniques did you use to encourage the learner to take responsibility for their learning and seek opportunities to transfer knowledge gained to different tasks or contexts?
Have you designed session plans for work-based learning? Have you delivered the training yourself? Generally, how do you plan for each session with the learner?
What ethical standards do you think are most important when working with learners in a work-based learning pathway?
Are there any issues you experience in deciding when to close and finalise a learning facilitation relationship? How do you manage closure?

Competency conversation/Knowledge evidence
Main question – to start the discussion:
How do you incorporate LLN skills into your training and assessment practice?
Supplementary questions – to expand upon the main question:
What 2 documents form the basis of Foundation Skills?
What are the core skills in each of the documents?
Thinking about a qualification or other training that you deliver, what levels of each of the ACSF core skills is required?
How did you identify the LLN requirements of the training specification?
What is the relationship between cultural and social issues and LLN levels?
How do you ensure that you communicate sensitively with people from different cultures or socially disadvantaged people with low LLN levels?
What resources are available in your own organisation in relation to LLN assessment and LLN support?
What techniques do you use to evaluate your own training and assessment practice?
What tools or other sources do you use to identify the LLN skills of learners?
Think of a time when you customised a learning resource for a target group focusing on LLN support or assessment. What was the resource and what did you do?
Have you ever needed to seek advice or support from an LLN specialist? If so, explain the situation. If not, what kinds of situations would you seek support of an LLN specialist and how would you find a specialist?
