Time Commitment
The time it will take to develop competency in the units that form this qualification is dependent on existing skills and experience. Typically, to complete within the specified course duration, it is recommended that students commit approximately 10 hours per week to developing their competency through a range of learning, work-based skills testing and assessment activities.
Study Options
Online Study
AIM provides a self-paced online study approach for VET qualifications. While this method of learning provides you with a flexible approach that can help integrate your personal and work schedules, it’s important to study consistently to achieve your goals within the course duration. To help you stay on track all participants in AIM courses are provided with an individual training plan.
The Certificate IV TAE40116 to TAE40122 Upgrade uses the MyAIM learning platform to provide interactive learning content, support forums, and access to live virtually-delivered seminars, coaching sessions, and assessment workshops, all completely online. Further support is available from assigned trainers via email and by appointment. Additional information about the study materials, course duration, and support are provided to new students via online orientation sessions.
Assessments
Within the AIM assessment model, competency is demonstrated through answering knowledge questions and completing workplace-based practical assessment tasks. These tasks may include the need to utilise workplace-based activities involving others or participation in role plays, which will need to be videoed and submitted as part of the assessment evidence. You may be expected to source and research additional materials as part of your study.
Units of Competency
These units of competency have been developed in consultation with industry experts along with our facilitators who draw upon real-life case studies and examples to ensure the knowledge you gain is practical and applicable to your role.
