While it’s not currently an industry requirement to upgrade the TAE40116 to the newer training and assessment qualification, some employers may set the TAE40122 as a job requirement. Upgrading early is also a great way to complete Vocational professional development and an excellent opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills within the VET sector.
Success Training Academy (Thrive Enterprises Pty Ltd t/a), acts as a student recruiting agent for our sister company, RAM Training Services (RTO #: 31701). RAM offers the Cert IV Training and Assessment course via a number of different methods (please see the Delivery Methods tab on this page).

How many Live Q&A Webinars can I book in for, free?
As many as you like! We’re here to give you the support that you need, in order to successfully complete your studies with Success Training Academy – so feel free to book in to as many Q&A Webinars as you need.
When will I receive my Zoom link for the Live Q&A Webinar?
As the Zoom links aren’t of any practical use, until the time of the webinar, you won’t receive your Zoom link until the day of the webinar.
How long will it take me to complete my course?
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) advises what they believe is a good indication of how long different courses should take. These are called the Volume of Learning Indicators, and they suggest that a (full) Certificate 4 level qualification should take between 600 and 1200 hours.
In our experience, every person is different, and so the time it takes one person to complete is different to the next person. This largely depends on each person’s experience, dedication to their studies, and their other personal commitments.
Students will have up to 18 months to complete the TAE40122 course with RAM, however students may be able to complete within 6 – 8 months, depending on their individual schedules and commitment to completing assessment tasks.
Our suggested Volume of Learning for this qualification is 6 months – 18 months (600 – 1800 hours).
What tools and resources will I need for this course?
To complete the Cert IV in Training & Assessment, tools you’ll need include access to the internet, a computer/laptop with Microsoft Office, a printer, and a video recording device as simple as an iPhone.
The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment has a substantial amount of changes in the unit of competency requirements compared to the previous versions of the qualification.
Resources required by individuals
- 1 person to deliver 1 x 90min face to face one-on-one presentation session to – This participant must be over the age of 15 and the session must be recorded
- A group of 4 people to deliver 1 x 90min face to face presentation session to (cannot include the 1 person form the one-on-one) – These participants must be over the age of 15 and the session must be recorded
Do you give extensions for assessment deadlines?
While we are confident that our students will be able to submit all of their assessments for the TAE40122 within their allocated timeframe of 18 months, and we provide extensive support to assist with this, there are occasions where our student’s personal circumstances may unavoidably cause delays for them. Due to regular updates to our assessment materials, as well as to training packages in general, if we are able to offer an extension, we are only able to extend due dates by 1 month at a time, should you require it. Please note, there is no guarantee that we will be able to offer an extension, but we are more than happy to do so where possible.
There is no fee charged for the first extension given. Any further extensions requested, will incur a re-enrolment fee of between $395 and $595, dependent on whether a complete new set of course materials is required. In some cases, this may mean you will need to re-do parts, or all, of your assessment tasks using the new materials.
We will check in with you regularly, once you have commenced, to make sure you’re progressing. And don’t forget to join (free) as many of our Live Q&A Webinars as you like – these are a great help to many of our students to facilitate online learning!
What are the entry requirements for the TAE40122?
Those entering this qualification must be able to demonstrate vocational competency in their proposed teaching and assessing area. This is defined as broad industry knowledge and experience, and may include, but is not limited to, holding a relevant unit of competency or qualification. For example, to teach ‘business’ qualifications you will need to have existing skills and prior learning in the industry, such as a business qualification (to at least the level you wish to teach) along with several years of relevant experience working in business.
Can I still upgrade my TAA40104 or BSZ40198 qualification?
Unfortunately not sorry! These versions have both been superseded at least twice now, which means none of the units are equivalent to the TAE40122. You will need to complete the full course.
We pride ourselves on providing our students with superior support and guidance. The TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training & Assessment course is an indepth course and it’s important that students have this support to ensure they achieve their goal.

Certificate IV In Training
The landscape of vocational education is constantly evolving, and as a professional trainer, staying at the forefront of these changes is essential. While the TAE40116 was the industry benchmark for years, the introduction of the TAE40122 Certificate IV represents the latest iteration of excellence for the VET sector.
At Success Training Academy, we understand that a TAE upgrade isn't just about ticking a compliance box; it’s about reinforcing your expertise and ensuring your career remains future-proof. Our TAE40116 to TAE40122 pathway is designed to be a seamless, supportive, and professional experience that respects your existing skills while bridging the gap to current standards.
Why Get A TAE40116 Upgrade To TAE40122?
You might wonder why a transition is necessary if your current qualification is still technically deemed equivalent for many industry roles. The reality of vocational training is that currency is your greatest asset. The TAE40122 reflects modern workplace demands, offering a more flexible 12-unit structure compared to the superseded qualification.
By moving to the new qualification, you aren't just updating a code on your resume; you are gaining insights into the latest education training package, enhanced core skills support strategies, and advanced assessment validation techniques. This transition ensures that you stay ahead of the curve, demonstrating to employers that you are committed to professional excellence and modern training and assessment practices.
The Pathway to Your Training and Assessment Qualification
Moving between versions of the Certificate IV in Training is a specialised process. Because the national training products have been updated to reflect new industry vocational training needs, the elective units and core requirements are not always a simple "one-for-one" swap.
Success Training Academy provides a structured transition that utilises credit transfer for equivalent units and a streamlined gap assessment process for any additional units required. We focus on identifying exactly what you need to move forward, ensuring you don't spend time re-learning what you already master, while providing deep-dive support to develop new knowledge.
Bridging the Gap with Professional Support
One of the biggest frustrations learners face during a transition is a lack of clarity regarding evidence collection. "Cheap" providers often leave students to figure out the differences between the old and new standards on their own. At Success Training Academy, we bridge that gap. Our qualified trainers provide clear, actionable feedback, helping you map your current competency against the TAE40122 requirements so you can complete your transition with confidence.
Flexible Delivery Designed for Busy Professionals
We know that as a professional, your time is your most valuable commodity. You shouldn't have to put your work on hold to meet vocational training requirements. That’s why we offer a variety of delivery methods:
- Live Virtual Workshops: Join our expert-led sessions from anywhere. These provide the "real-time" interaction you need to assess complex concepts and build competence.
- Self-Paced Learning: For those who prefer to work through the course at their own rhythm.
- Face-to-Face Sessions: Available in key locations for those who value in-person networking and hands-on work skill instruction.
Our turnaround time for feedback is designed to keep your momentum high as you develop plans for your final submissions.
Why Success Training Academy Stands Out For Cert IV TAE Upgrades
Choosing where to obtain your assessment qualification is a significant decision. As we’ve highlighted before, the "cheapest" option often results in hidden risks, such as outdated assessment tools or a lack of support. Success Training Academy prioritises quality over shortcuts.
When you work with us to develop assessment tools and session plans, you are learning from an RTO that strictly adheres to compliance frameworks. We ensure every training and assessment session is impactful and that our nationally recognised training products provide a solid foundation for your future.
Our Training and Assessment Courses
Success Training Academy is committed to delivering more than just a qualification; we deliver the confidence to lead a classroom. Beyond the Cert IV training and assessment upgrade, we offer a full suite of services, including TAE skill sets for those needing specific skills without the full certificate.
Beyond an upgrade cert IV training and assessment, our core offerings include:
- TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
- Cert IV TAE40116
- TAE40122 Cert IV in Training & Assessment (Additional Workshops & Webinars).
Secure Your Future Today: Upgrade TAE40116 to TAE40122
Transitioning to the latest training and assessment qualification is an opportunity to refresh your skills and re-engage with your passion for training. By choosing a high-quality path, you protect your professional reputation and ensure that your assessment activities remain equivalent to the highest national benchmarks.
Don’t risk your currency with a provider that takes shortcuts. Invest in an experience that values your vocational education as much as you do. While we are online with Distance Education Courses, we also have easily accessible in-person courses held in Brisbane, Cairns, on the Gold Coast and in Perth.
