10 weeks
The Assessor Skill Set is a 10-week program designed to equip vocational educators with the competencies needed to conduct independent assessments in VET contexts. Ideal for secondary school teachers and experienced professionals seeking to expand their training and assessment capabilities.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old and demonstrate vocational competency from within the last 5 years in their proposed teaching and assessing area. You must have access to a workplace or suitable training environment replicating workplace conditions, and online-only students need access to up to four adult learners for assessment tasks. Completion of a Basic Key Skills Builder (BKSB) online test and a Pre-training Review interview are required. Digital literacy with Microsoft Office, cloud storage, and video recording capabilities is essential.
This skill set comprises three core units: TAEASS412 (Assess competence), TAEASS413 (Participate in assessment validation), and TAEDES411 (Use nationally recognised training products to meet vocational training needs). The course covers assessment methodologies including knowledge questions, course design and creation, validation meetings, competence assessment of learners, and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) processes. Students engage with live presentations, video assessments, and practical assessment activities throughout the 10-week program.
