Third, the new standards enable \u201cpeople actively working towards the Certificate\u00a0IV or Diploma from the TAE Training Package to deliver training and contribute to assessment under supervision.\u201d However, <\/strong>\u201cindividuals who are actively working towards a relevant credential are still required to meet other requirements imposed on trainers and assessors under the Standards, including holding relevant vocational competencies and current industry skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fourth, there new standards enable the broader use of industry experts<\/strong> \u201cto also\u00a0assist<\/strong>\u00a0in the delivery of training\u00a0alongside<\/strong>\u00a0a trainer and\/or assessor. This builds on the previous provision for industry experts to be involved in the assessment judgement, working\u00a0alongside<\/strong>\u00a0the trainer and\/or assessor to conduct the assessment.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, to \u201censure the quality and integrity of training, RTOs will need to ensure industry experts have specialised industry or subject matter expertise, relevant vocational competencies and current industry skills directly relevant to the training being provided.\u201d TAFE Directors Australia sees that this \u201cimportant change that should improve attracting more people for many TAFE trade areas is that industry experts are now able to be better used. The changes recognise that industry experts who are actively working toward the Cert IV TAE can deliver training and contribute to assessment under supervision. While most TAFEs had already implemented their own under-supervision programs this change makes that easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
