Certificate IV in Training and Assessment

The nationally recognised qualification for people who train and assess others, in vocational education and in the workplace. Already doing the job? Get it through Recognition of Prior Learning: your experience is assessed against the units, with no study required.

Overview

A qualification for the training you already deliver

The Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is the qualification for trainers and assessors in Registered Training Organisations, and for people who run training at work. It covers planning and delivering training, assessing people’s skills and designing learning that fits the people in front of you. If you’ve been training or assessing, Recognition of Prior Learning lets an assessor from our partner RTO check your experience against each unit, with no classes to attend. Your free consult comes first, so you know whether you’re eligible before you pay anything.

FAQ

Common questions

How much experience do I need for RPL?

It depends on the work you’ve done and how closely it matches the units. Planning and delivering training sessions and assessing people’s skills, at work or in an RTO, both count. Assessors look for real training you’ve delivered and assessments you’ve carried out, so recent hands-on experience matters. Your free eligibility check tells you where you stand before you pay anything.

How long does the RPL assessment take?

The whole process takes about 2–3 weeks, from your eligibility check to the assessor’s decision. Once your eligibility is confirmed you enrol and pay in person, and having your evidence ready early keeps it moving.

What counts as evidence?

Usually your resume, a reference letter from a supervisor or employer, proof of identity and your USI. Examples like session plans, training materials and assessment records you’ve completed help too, with learners’ details removed. Your advisor will tell you exactly what your assessor needs.
