STEP 1: Get at least one form of ID ready, eg your driver’s license, Australian passport, Medicare card, birth certificate, visa (for non-Australian passport), Immigration Card or Citizenship Certificate.
STEP 2: Have your personal contact details ready; you’ll need address, email and/or phone number.
STEP 3: Visit usi.gov.au- external site and select Create a USI.

How Does Facilitated Virtual Delivery Work?

Participants need to attend zoom sessions with a live trainer on specific dates scheduled for each course. These dates are mentioned in the course calendar section of each course. Participants can start the course anytime and will be required to book in and attend sessions via Zoom. Zoom sessions can be booked by emailing trainer or calling 1300 354 309.

During zoom session, the trainer conducts training of each unit to develop participant knowledge and skills to perform various tasks.  You will also have access to 24/7 POLS (Pivot Online Learning System) that provides students with the content, resources and assessments necessary to complete the course.

Requirements For Mine Training?

Mine courses are only available to participants working on a suitable site.  We only offer mine training onsite in partnership with mine sites. 

Please note below requirements: 

– Site must have trainers and assessors who hold TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment together with vocational competency in the relevant unit areas.

– Start up cost for establishment includes:

      -trainer and assessor registration

     -provision of relevant learning materials, trainer and assessor guidelines,  assessment material for each unit

    -registration with the national regulator

    -virtual site visit

– Following establishment, each Statement of Attainment will be charged per person.

If company is short on time for training , all mine programs are available online via our Pivot Online Learning System (POLS). Your participants can undertake their theory component online however they will still require practical training and assessment in the mine site. You need to pay cost per participant to access POLS.

Can I Still Do The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment if I Don't Currently Work In Training and Assessment?

If you are not working in training and assessment, it is highly recommended that you attend course using facilitated virtual delivery mode. 

You can still do Certificate IV in Training and Assessment if you don’t work as trainer and assessor, however you must be able to demonstrate vocational competency in proposed teaching and assessing area. Vocational competency is defined as; ‘broad industry knowledge and experience and may include, but is not limited to, holding a relevant unit of competency or qualification’.

Participants must have access to a workplace or realistic simulated environment to complete the assessments. Strong literacy and numeracy skills are required. Participants must also have access to a computer with a reliable and stable internet connection for virtual delivery.

How Long Does It Take To Complete The TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment?

The duration of TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment course is 12-18 months.

The average time it takes to complete varies significantly depending on the skills and knowledge you already hold relevant to training and assessment. If, for example, you are attending the facilitated classes and you have completed the relevant activities, you will still need to allow the following suggested time to complete the qualification.

4 hours a week  – 18 months

6 hours a week – 12 months

Experience in the VET sector in training and assessment can greatly lower the amount of time required to successfully complete the qualification.

Working full time with a young family at home, the decision to undertake a Certificate IV in workplace Training and Assessment was made easier knowing that there was an option to undertake the course via blended delivery.
