3 Notes for Candidate TAE50111 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training This qualification reflects the roles of experienced practitioners delivering training and assessment services usually within Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) within the vocational education and training (VET) sector. They may have a role in leading other trainers and assessors and in providing mentoring or advice to new trainers or assessors as well as designing approaches to learning and assessment strategies across a significant area within the RTO. Assessment only pathway The TAE10 Assessment Guidelines state: In an assessment-only or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway, the candidate provides current, quality evidence of their competency against the relevant unit of competency. This process may be directed by the candidate and verified by the assessor, such as in the compilation of portfolios; or directed by the assessor, such as through observation of workplace performance and skills application, and oral and/or written assessment. Where the outcomes of this process indicate that the candidate is competent, structured training is not required. Prerequisites The qualification rules state that there are no prerequisite requirements for individual units of competency. However, preferred pathways are stated as follows: after achieving the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and vocational experience in training and assessment roles within an RTO or similar organisation where the focus has been on competency based training, or after achieving another relevant qualification and vocational experience in training and assessment roles within an RTO or similar organisation where the focus has been on competency based training and assessment, or after demonstrating extensive vocational experience in training and assessment roles within an RTO or similar organisation where the focus has been on competency based training and assessment. The stated pathways would constitute prerequisites for eligibility to apply for recognition of prior learning in this qualification. NOTE: If you are working in an organisation which is not an RTO, you may like to consider applying for recognition of prior learning in the qualification TAE50211 Diploma of Training Design and Development. This qualification may be more appropriate than TAE Evidence mapping The qualification TAE50111 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training incorporates in-depth knowledge and experience of the RPL process and requirements.

4 You are therefore expected to analyse the relevant competency standards and personally map your evidence to the Performance Criteria, Required Knowledge, Required Skills, Critical Aspects of Evidence and Employability Skills. Your ability to assess your own competency against each unit and ensure all aspects are addressed fully in your evidence will form part of the assessment. Selection of units This Candidate Guide identifies evidence requirements for all of the core units and all of the electives in the qualification packaging rules. You are instructed to review the packaging rules for the qualification and select the relevant units where you wish to apply for RPL. The unit selection table is shown on the following page.
