Overview
The TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set is designed for those looking to work as assessors in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. This skill set equips individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to assess competence, participate in assessment validation, and use nationally recognised training products to meet vocational training needs. It’s suitable for a broad range of professionals within the VET sector, including workplace assessors, training coordinators, and assessors within Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), TAFEs, and private training institutions. Additionally, recent amendments to the Standards for RTOs 2015, effective from March 2024, have expanded eligibility, allowing secondary school teachers with relevant qualifications to attain the TAESS00019 Assessor Skill Set to be eligible to train and assess within the VET Sector. This skill set is also a stepping stone towards further qualifications, such as the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, providing a pathway for professional development within the sector.
