TAESS00021 Facilitation Skill Set (NEW)

Facilitation Skill Set

Completing this skill set will qualify you to work as a trainer WITH supervision in a recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) organisation such as TAFE or an RTO offering nationally recognised courses.

This is for people who assist with delivering nationally recognised training to people in a more traditional face-to-face and in-person mode like a TAFE and are probably also responsible for some training planning.

This means you can start working as a trainer without completing the full Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122), starting sooner to share your wisdom and positively impact the next generation of people entering your industry.

IMPORTANT: This skill set can be used as a credit transfer if you choose to go on to do a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40122) in the future.

Facilitation Skill Set - What's Included

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

We provide everything else but to complete the practical assessments, you will need the following:

4 volunteers to act as your “learners” for your face-to-face group training assessment (you must conduct 3 sessions with the same 4 people) and…
1 additional learner (who can’t be one of the other 4) for 2 individual training sessions (a total of 5 people).

IMPORTANT NOTE: These group training sessions must be in person with your learners, which you record to submit for your assessment; you cannot conduct a Zoom group training.

How our Pricing Works

The pricing changes depending on whether you choose to pay in full or need to select a payment plan option, and then which support package you choose.

We’ve set it up so you not only have flexibility to suit your budget, but so you only pay for what you need and nothing more. Making it more cost-effective if you need it, but also giving you options to access the support you need to get all the way through to graduation.

The Standard Support Package

The Standard Support package includes all admin and technical support but is a pay-as-you-go package for one-on-one trainer support, so you only pay for what you need!

If you need some one-on-one trainer support, it’s only $50 per 30 minutes, which we find to be more than adequate for any questions or clarity that’s needed.

This option is ideal for people who are really good at self-directing their own learning, who are very comfortable with navigating the online space, and/or who typically find learning new things relatively easy.

The marking speed for students on the Standard Package is a maximum of 8 business days.

ENROL NOW – STANDARD SUPPORT

The Extra Support Package

The Extra Support package includes all admin and technical support you receive in the Standard package, PLUS 3 hours of one-on-one trainer support, which you can book in 30-minute sessions (phone or video).

We find 30 minutes to be enough time to get the help and support you need. If you need more, you can purchase extra trainer time @ $50 per 30 minutes.

This option is ideal for people who aren’t as great at self-paced learning, who may not be as comfortable with navigating the online space, and/or who typically find learning new things sometimes difficult.

The marking speed for students on the Extra Package is a maximum of 4 business days.

ENROL NOW – EXTRA SUPPORT

The Ultimate Support Package

The Ultimate Support package includes all admin and technical support you receive in the Standard package, PLUS unlimited hours of one-on-one trainer support, which you can book in 30-minute sessions.

This is the ultimate peace-of-mind package, knowing you can get as much help as you need to get through to graduation.

This option is ideal for people who struggle with self-paced learning, who aren’t comfortable with navigating the online space, and/or who typically find learning new things difficult.

The marking speed for students on the Ultimate Package is a maximum of 4 business days.
