Overview

Who this is for:

This entry-level program is designed for any person who wants to become a trainer and assessor but who currently:

  • Doesn’t work in an RTO as a trainer and assessor
  • Doesn’t have experience as a trainer and assessor in the VET industry

If you want to become a trainer for the first time to share your existing skills and knowledge with people entering or upskilling in your industry, then this is the perfect program for you! 

By the time you graduate, you’ll be able to confidently deliver and assess accredited training, conduct face-to-face and online assessments, and participate in validation activities. While you may not know exactly what that means, we promise you will by the time you finish.

Note: If you currently (or used to) work as a Trainer and Assessor and/or have a Certificate in Training and Assessment that is no longer valid, check out our RPL pathway.

Entry Requirements:

To start this qualification, you must show you have skills and experience in the industry area you want to teach and assess within. This means you should be a bit of an expert in the topics you plan to teach. The evidence required includes having a relevant resume, position description or industry qualification as appropriate.

What We Offer:

What Makes Our Program Stand Out:

  • 24/7 Learner Portal Access: Navigate an intuitive, resource-rich portal anytime, packed with tools for success.
  • Unit Overview Videos: Kick off each unit with a clear and engaging video overview to know exactly what to expect.
  • Interactive Learning Content: Dive into interactive, sequenced content designed for easy understanding and maximum engagement.

How We Support You Every Step of the Way:

  • Facebook Support Group: Connect with fellow students for guidance, camaraderie, and lasting friendships.
  • Student Support Team: Reach out during business hours at 1300 141 994 for help with tech issues, course queries, or trainer assistance. The learner portal also offers an intuitive help function for pinpointed trainer support.
  • Targeted Support & Progress Check-Ins: Stay on track with monthly reminders and personalised support strategies, including extensions or trainer-led guidance if needed.
  • Optional 1:1 Trainer Tutoring: Book 30-minute Zoom or Google sessions with a trainer for extra help (fees apply).

What Is Certificate IV?

You can find out more about our Fortress Learning TAE40122 Certificate IV Programs HERE

What Do I Need To Provide For My Practical Assessments?

If you currently work in an RTO, you can use a large amount of resources from your workplace if they will allow you access (ask us about the list of what you'll need in your enrolment interview), if you don't work in an RTO, we will provide everything you need, however, the following will need to be provided by you regardless of which option you need to use:

  • A minimum of 4 people to be learners for a face-to-face, in-person, group based training
  • An additional person (can’t be one of the 4 above) to be a learner who requires 1-on-1 mentoring, doing a workplace-based training

The people you choose may be family, friends and/or colleagues. You just need to record the training session and be able to upload the recording to us via your Learner Portal (you have unlimited tech support if you need help doing this part).

Note: If using family/ friends, they must be 16+ years old to be considered one of your learners.

How Difficult Is A Certificate IV?

The Australian Qualification Framework provides guidelines to the learning outcomes for each AQF level and qualification type. The level of difficulty of a Certificate IV should be aligned with the requirements of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) level 4 (out of 10 levels).

Regarding difficulty, we want to be transparent with you and let you know that the Certificate IV TAE is one of the more extensive courses you will complete as there is a lot of terminology and new knowledge and skills that you will learn.

If you are already in a training role (even informally training workplace colleagues etc) then you will certainly be able to bring your existing skills and knowledge to the course, which will ensure that navigating the world of VET is a little less daunting.

The common thread is that the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment is time-consuming.

We have written a blog about the Then Painful Truths about the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. You may want to read it here:

What Is Involved In The Enrolment Interview?

You’ll be sent to a booking page just after making your deposit payment to book your enrolment interview. A confirmation email will then be sent to you with the details of everything you need to prepare for that interview.

The interview can be booked on the same day, but there is a minimum of a 4-hour gap from applying to being able to do the enrolment interview. This is so you have time to get prepared.

HEADS UP: You will need your USI (Student Identifier) before you get to your interview.

Your interview is done via Google Meet or phone (if preferred). This means that you can ask additional questions before enrolling and clarify anything you’re unsure of. We also get to make sure you have chosen the right course pathway and support package for what you really need.

During the interview, we’ll conduct a "Suitability Assessment." This series of questions will help us determine whether you can meet the technical, practical, and skill requirements needed to confidently complete this course online.

The technical requirements include regular computer access, knowledge, and confidence in navigating email, logins, and websites. The practical questions ensure you have access to the human and physical resources you need to complete the assessments in your course.

We will ask additional questions about your goals, your online experience and comfort level in learning online, your learning ability, plus your availability to study. This is all to ensure you're in the right course and ready to succeed before enrolling formally. This gives you more confidence that you can absolutely get all the way to graduation.

If the course is found to be unsuitable for you, your deposit (including the $150 enrolment interview fee) will be fully refunded. However, the enrolment fee is not refunded if you don't show up for your enrolment interview or change your mind after the interview within the 30-day cooling-off period.

What Happens If This Course Is Determined As Not Suitable For Me?

If during your Enrolment Interview we discover this course is not suitable for you, we’ll offer other alternative solutions or refund all fees paid, including the $150 deposit.

Can I Get a Refund If I Change My Mind?

Upon Application:

  • If you are found not to be suitable for entry into any of our programs, we will refund all monies paid.
  • If you choose not to continue with the enrolment interview or application, we will refund monies paid, excluding the $150 application fee.

After Enrolment:

  • Fortress has a 30-day cooling-off period.
  • This 30-day cooling-off period starts from the activation of your learner portal.  For example, if your learner portal is activated on March 1st, the 30-day cooling-off period ends on March 31st
  • If you choose to withdraw within the 30-day cooling-off period, you will receive a full refund of the fees paid (excluding the $150 application fee).
  • If you choose to withdraw at any time after the 30-day cooling-off period ends, no refund is applicable, and the full balance of course fees will be due.

Please refer to our Refund Policy here for additional information.

Do You Have Flexible Payment Options?

We offer flexible payment options for every course.

You can pay in full and upfront, but you can also pay a deposit (which includes the $150 non-refundable enrolment interview fee), and choose a fortnightly or weekly payment plan. When you select "Enrol", you will see the various packages available for your course, and once you select the package you want, you will be presented with the various payment options.

If you want to go back and see another package and their payment plan options, just hit "back".

Why Is There a Non-Refundable Fee Included In The Deposit?

When you will pay your deposit it includes your $150 non-refundable enrolment interview fee. This covers the cost of the behind-the-scenes work and the time taken to prepare and run the interview itself because it is a cost to us. It's also not fair to others who could have booked an earlier time with us when people just don't show up.‍

We do the enrolment interview to make sure that the course is the right course for you and that you have all of the resources and the time you will need to complete it successfully (barring any unexpected events that could impact it) BEFORE you actually enrol. We have saved many students money, time and frustration by having this interview and discovering that it's unlikely they will complete it successfully for some reason. We are invested in your success from the start.‍

If the course isn't suitable for you for whatever reason, you will be refunded the whole amount of your deposit, including your $150 enrolment interview fee. If you simply don't show up, the $150 enrolment interview fee won't be refunded should you choose not to go ahead for other reasons.

If an emergency happens and you can’t let us know you won’t be able to make it, we’re generous when it matters most, so there are circumstances where this enrolment interview fee will also be refunded, but this is only on a case-by-case basis.

Fortress Learning Made Studying Easy

Fortress Learning made studying easy. I worked full time throughout my TAE40122. Their platform and course were easy to follow, meaning that I was able to complete both my TAE and my work without feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Richard and Steve were great trainers and most of the time it was like talking to old friends.

If you want to complete your TAE studies do it with the best, do it with Fortress Learning!

I highly recommend Fortress Learning as the RTO to complete your Cert IV TAE via distance education through. I was previously with another RTO who went under nearly halfway through my course. Fortress marked the assessments I had completed and were able to grant me RPL. My trainer, Deb, was amazing. The support I received throughout the course was amazing. Assessments were marked within a week and feedback was always constructive. If you want to complete your TAE studies do it with the best, do it with Fortress Learning!

I strongly recommend this teaching enterprise.

I looked into schools that provide the TAE Certificate IV and found one in my area, Fortress, which is a current and accredited RTO (see https : // training. gov. au /). They say, "We are not only fast, but we also care, with maximum response times of 4 hours (phone) and 8 hours (email)." And if you want the marking completed within four days (or less), they deliver on this promise too. I was very pleased with their support. They responded quickly (as stated above), and they were very kind and considerate with all marking, explaining why, what, and how to proceed to complete my assignment correctly. I strongly recommend this teaching enterprise.

The Fortress Training Experience...

The training experience with Fortress was amazing. The CertIV training and assessment is a pretty full on course. In addition to running my own business, I volunteer with Surf Life Saving and have a busy family life. The team at Fortress were really supportive in helping me navigate the course and worked with me when I was challenged time wise... they were always there to help. I cannot recommend Fortress and their team highly enough.

5 star service from day 1!

5 star service from day 1!! I had previously been enrolled with another RTO but was having difficulties with their online course and a friend recommended I contact Fortress Learning and there was no turning back. The customer service was faultless, very prompt replies to my initial enquiry and I was able to book in a call with my trainer Deb at short notice to answer my questions before I enrolled in a TAE course I needed to complete. The online modules were easy to follow and the assessments were outlined clearly as to what was expected and there were templates available as a guide if needed. Deb went above and beyond to assist me throughout my training and was very professional in her manner. Debs wealth of knowledge in the VET sector, in particular in health was extremely valuable and I can’t thank her enough for her support. I would not hesitate to recommend Fortress Learning to anyone looking to enrol in online training and will certainly be back in the future for any training needs.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Fortress Learning and I definitely recommend anyone deciding to study to go through Fortress Learning.

A Champagne effort......Fortress delivers!

Fortress provided a great experience by way of a large amount of resources to lead in, an exceptional Trainer (Brian) who was highly knowledgeable on the subject and great follow up in support services. This was made even better by the way the Trainer created and fed a team approach to completing tasks. No one got left behind and it was a fantastic learning environment which isn't an easy task in an online environment. I've completed this course many years ago and learnt so much more at this course.....highly recommend Fortress to enhance your skills.

The qualification (TAE) is a joke BUT…

The qualification (TAE) is a joke BUT Fortress do try to make it easier for you to complete. They have vidoes that guide you through the assignments and also annotated samples which make it really handy. Best advice; if you can AVOID doing the qualification then do so, but if you have no choice then choose Fortress.

I highly recommend Fortress Learning

I highly recommend Fortress Learning if you are thinking of starting a course or gaining a new qualification. The staff and trainers are thorough, professional, and their attention to detail is excellent. The online portal system is simple to navigate, and the course notes and videos are clear, concise and easy to follow. I found the trainers and assessors to be readily available, prompt in their replies, and in some instances willing to go above and beyond, especially in my case where a deadline was imminent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fortress Learning.
