Full program: 10 units (9 core and 1 elective). 

The course consists of three clusters, and ten units.  These units have been clustered as they provide logical, sequential development of knowledge required to train and assess vocationally. To learn more about these clusters review the information below.

1. Design cluster:  The Design units (TAEDES401, TAEDES402) focus on where skills and knowledge are fostered to conceptualise, design, develop and review learning programs, pitched at the appropriate LLN level.  This first cluster provides trainers with the background to the VET sector, in particular training packages linked to their specific work contexts.
2. The unit TAELLN411 is delivered after completion of the Design units and it enables trainees to identify the LLN skill requirements, and capability of their prospective learners. 
3. Delivery cluster: In this cluster, participants move through to developing competence in planning, organising and delivering the training programs designed in the first cluster to groups, specifically designed for workplace contexts. Participants develop skills in presenting their designed training plans to targeted audiences, both individual and groups. Competence develops in training others in the workplace, using real work activities as the basis for learning.
4. Assessment cluster: The effectiveness of learning is shown by a change in behaviour, and this is gauged through assessment. This cluster follows sequentially from the design and delivery phases. Learners’ knowledge and skills are further expanded in developing appropriate assessment instruments.  These can take the form of formative and summative assessments.  The effectiveness of the instruments is tested during the moderation and validation processes where knowledge of compliance requirements is reinforced.
