TAC Talks Ep7: Trainer and Assessor Requirements

TAC frequently receives questions on the requirements for trainers and assessors in the VET sector.

Common questions include - Why am I not qualified to train or assess in the VET sector when I have a Bachelor of Education, or higher level qualification in adult education, and previous teaching experience? Why are these qualifications or former experience not considered ‘sufficient’? What vocational and industry skills do I need to become a VET practitioner?

This podcast answers these commonly asked questions and provides information on:
*specifications within the Standards for RTOs;
*credentials you must hold to be a trainer and assessor in the VET sector and reasons for these; and
*how RTOs and individuals can meet these requirements.
