We offer the following TAE Diploma programs;
All of our TAE Diploma programs are designed for trainers already working in the Vocational Education & Training sector who are looking to invest deeply in themselves and their students in this key professional development opportunity.
Holding a TAE Diploma is essential to attaining many Head Teacher and other promotional positions, and an increasing number of RTOs are paying Trainers more when they hold at least the Dip VET.
Fortress Learning’s TAE Diploma programs are perfect for those who want to enrich their practice and stand tall as leaders and educators within the VET sector.
We also offer the Victorian TAFE Teachers Reclassification Readiness Program. This program allows teachers to demonstrate all of the four requirements needed to be reclassified to AQF Level 5 according to the Victorian TAFE Teaching Staff Agreement 2018. It includes studies in adult learning methodology, studies in teaching in a Vocational Education environment, Studies in Applied Research (linked to the Boyer framework of scholarship) and a supervised Practicum of 200 hours. Please note that we won’t accept any enrolments into the Victorian TAFE Teachers Reclassification Readiness Program after 1 June 2023.

Experience tells us that most experienced professionals usually take about 6 months to complete their personal program of blended RPL and Coursework Assessment (or closer to 3 months if they are bringing in more units via Credit Transfer). These people are usually working full-time and juggling families, pets, holidays and all the other things that seem to complicate our lives.
Experience tells us that the following three factors affect the time it takes a student:
While it differs for different people, we find that successful students usually dedicate 10- 15 hours per week. That said, some of our stud
The Diploma sits as an AQF level 5 on the Australian Qualifications Framework. It sits just after a Certificate IV which is an AQF level 4 and just before an Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree at an AQF level 6.
The purpose of the Diploma qualification type is to qualify individuals who apply integrated technical and theoretical concepts in a broad range of contexts to undertake advanced skilled or paraprofessional work and as a pathway for further learning.
Upon completion of the Diploma, graduates will have a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to:
That depends on you! The Fortress Learning Diploma’s can be completed as a full-time study course within 6 months or as a part-time course over a year.
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.
