Changes to the reviewed package

"Frequently Asked Questions" [PDF 126KB] has been developed by Innovation and Business Skills Australia and includes information on:

• Development and endorsement of the Training Package
• Transition from BSZ98 to TAA04
• How TAA04 compares with BSZ98
• TAA04 competency requirements
• Supporting resources for TAA04

One of the most asked question to date is:

I have Certificate IV from BSZ98—do I need to update my qualification? If so, how long do I have?

This depends on what you want to deliver and assess. If you are working with other Training Packages, your current qualification will be adequate. However, a distinction needs to be made between trainers and assessors who are delivering training and assessing competency for qualifications within the TAA04 Training and Assessment Training Package and those working with other Training Packages. Because trainers and assessors of units of competency from TAA04 are working in the vocational area of training and assessment, they must also meet the vocational competencies as spelt out in the Training Package and required by the AQTF. In this case you will need the new qualification, or its equivalent, to deliver it.

The FAQs can be downloaded from the IBSA website.
