What The ASSESSOR skill set will give you

This is the newest version of the skill set that means you can start working as an assessor (without supervision). It’s either the first step to working in an RTO, or if you’ve done the facilitation skill set, it means you can take on the role of assessor and trainer (training only under supervision). Stacking the skill sets is a nice shortcut because you don’t have to wait until you complete the full Cert IV in Training and Assessment to start your new career. Bonus!

Watch this short overview video to learn more about what specialised units are included and what opportunities this skill set will give you once you complete it. This is the exciting part!

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

You need 3 people to volunteer to act as “learners” in order to complete the practical assessment for this skill set. Everything else we provide.

The Assessments

Here is what you need to know about the assessments for this skill set:

There will be 2 workshops covering everything you need to do for all the assessments. You will need to have completed all of the learning and preparation modules in your learner portal before you can attend the workshops. Then you need to submit the evidence and documentation once you have completed the workshops.

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 6 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.
