ABOUT THE COURSE
Why undertake a Skill Set?
A Fortress Learning TAE Skill Set is valuable for:
- Filling an identified skills gap without you needing to undertake a full qualification.
- Providing you with formal recognition of competency attained without having completed a full qualification.
- Laying the foundation for further training in a TAE qualification.
- In some instances, it may give you the certification needed to commence training and assessing (under supervision) in the workplace (this is dependent upon the requirements of the employer).
Please note: You must have access to a person who is currently compliant as a Trainer and Assessor, holding as minimum qualifications the TAE40110, TAELLN411 (or equivalent unit) and TAEASS502 (or equivalent unit), who can observe you conducting practical tasks in a real or simulated workplace environment.
How is the course delivered?

After enrolment, you will receive your login credentials to access our learning platform. This is where you will find all your instructions, learning resources and assessments.
We know that the TAE is not easy and is not a matter of “if” but “when” you will need a guiding hand. That’s why you will have unlimited access to your trainer and can schedule phone or video calls when you need support. Our trainers are available from 9 am to 5 pm QLD time, Monday to Friday.
Our service promises to you:

Practical Requirements and People You Will Need Access To
In order to complete the practical assessment requirements of TAESS00014 – Enterprise Trainer – Presenting Skill Set, you must:
- Have access to a suitable venue in which to conduct 3 training sessions
- Have access to learners to train. There is no specific number of learners required, however, as our assessment task is aligned with the TAEDEL401 unit, it is strongly recommended that you deliver sessions of at least 40min in length to groups of at least 8 learners.
- You must have access to a TAE-qualified observer (who is currently compliant as a Trainer and Assessor, holding as minimum qualifications the TAE40110, TAELLN411 and TAEASS502 (or equivalent unit)), or the ability to video record the practical components of your assessment tasks.
If access to a group of 8 learners is problematic, Fortress Learning offers an option to deliver training to a group of your fellow students via Zoom. However, these sessions can only go ahead subject to numbers and will incur an additional fee if you are not enrolled in our standard online Cert IV TAE program.

Are there any entry requirements?
There are no entry requirements for this Skill Set.
However, if you are considering using this Skill Set as a pathway into the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, you must be able to demonstrate vocational competency in your 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.
How long does it take?
The enrolment duration for this course is 3 months.
Experience tells us that the following three factors affect the time it takes a student:
- Experience – if you have experience in training/assessing, then you will likely not need as long as people without experience.
- Dedication – if you have a good reason to do the course, and can hold yourself accountable, then you will likely not need as long as people who are less committed.
- Other commitments – if you have a busy life with many competing professional and personal demands, then you will likely need longer than those people with fewer demands.
While it differs for different people, we find that successful students usually dedicate 10- 15 hours per week. That said, some of our students take less time, while others take more. It is up to you.
Successful Study Habits
We have a video on Successful Study Habits that will support you in progressing through the course in a timely manner. Here is what we know to be true, based on our experience with thousands of students:
- Talk to us! If you’re stuck on a problem at home or feel overwhelmed, don’t sit and stew, or worse, procrastinate! Connect with us in whatever way suits you, be it phone, chat, email, Google Meet or Zoom, and we’ll help you reach a solution so you can get on with your studies.
- Schedule it in! Set aside “chunks’ of time to allow you to really sink your teeth (and brain) into the learning process and allow yourself to get “in the zone”. You can set your own pace, structuring your learning and your assessments to suit your lifestyle.
- And lastly, take your course one step at a time… consistency is important, but if the unexpected happens, we can help you find solutions, like course deferral.
What if I need to take a break from study?
The flexibility of our online approach means that if you need to take a break from studying, we’ve got that covered too.
We offer the option to defer (pause) your studies. Whilst you are deferred, your enrolment is inactive, and we pause your enrolment duration. Then, when you are reactivated from deferment, you pick up exactly where you left off and carry on.
Here are the important details;
- You can defer a maximum of two times. The first deferment is free. The second deferment incurs a $45 fee.
- Payment plans continue on deferment, and your payments must be up to date before we can defer you.
- You won’t have access to your trainer or learning platform whilst you are deferred.
- If you have at least 6 weeks remaining in your enrolment, you can defer for up to 3 months. After that, you can defer for twice the amount of time remaining in your enrolment (for example, if you have 1 week left in your enrolment, you can defer for 2 weeks.)
The most important thing is to contact us if your enrolment isn’t working out as you had planned so that we can offer you the best support options as and when you need them.
What will it cost me?
Our minimum course fee for the 3 months enrolment is $500.
Extension
If you have not finished the course within your enrolment period you can purchase an extension. These extension periods incur an additional fee as follows:
- 1 week $75

One of our trainers will determine to what extent you are eligible for RPL and/or Credit Transfer, what evidence you will need to provide and what coursework will still need to be undertaken, and we will provide you with a Personal Learning Plan.
Is this course a good fit for you?
We want to make sure that you are the right fit for us and we are the right fit for you. Here are a few things for you to consider:
- Fortress Learning is not a “tick and flick” RTO. If you want the fastest and easiest way, we probably won’t be a good fit.
- We made the decision a long time ago to focus on quality and not quantity. As a result, our qualifications have a very good reputation in the industry.
- Employers know that a Fortress Learning qualification is more than just a piece of paper; it has substance.
- Our students finish their training with knowledge, competence and confidence.
Suitability Assessment
During your Enrolment Interview, before you are able to complete the enrolment form, our student support team member will guide you through a verbal conversation regarding suitability.
What will I be asked?
The Suitability assessment consists of different questions that will address the technical requirements of the program, such as required IT and digital literacy skills. We will also make sure you have access to the human and physical resources you need for the practical requirement of your course.
This ensures that you are placed in the right course for you before you enrol formally.
What happens if I am found not suitable?
If, for some reason, during your Enrolment Interview, we discover that based on the suitability responses you give, you cannot continue with the enrolment, we will offer other alternative solutions or refund your fees paid, including the application fee.
