PATHWAYS INCLUDING RECOGNITION

There are a number of pathways to achieving the qualification OR to achieving a Statement of Attainment for those who only wish to complete a particular field/stream. Worklinks also offers the opportunity for those with the previous BSZ or TAA qualification to upgrade to the current qualification. The pathways are:  Face-to-face combined with completion of work in own time. Candidates attend a series of workshops and    

tutorials run by Worklinks and then complete further requirements in their own time. Online training. Candidates complete the 7 units ONLINE after gaining RPL for the 3 units that most teachers will be eligible for. Recognition. Candidates with prior training and/or assessment experience and/or other training and educational qualifications may be best placed to use this pathway. Assessment-only. This enables TAE candidates to prove competency by completing the assessment component of the course only, without participating in training. Blended learning pathway. This pathway is available to those who, through their past experience and training, would be best placed to undertake a combination of two/more of the above.

Secondary teachers may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for the following units of competency, on receipt by the RTO of all appropriate RPL evidence:  TAEDEL401A  TAEDEL402A  HLTHIR403C

It is POSSIBLE that some teachers may be eligible for additional recognition; however, this will depend entirely on the individual teacher’s prior experience and qualifications. A blanket assumption cannot be made about which (if any) units of competency teachers or others may gain recognition for – as indicated, it will vary from individual to individual. Each candidate applying for RECOGNITION, including for the units outlined above, must attach to the registration form certified copies of any supporting documentation, including certified copies of qualifications and a list of those units for which you feel you might be eligible for RPL.
