Keep it ‘real’ (or realistic)!
Each project must be based on a real or ‘realistic’ (simulated) workplace
scenario relevant to your area of expertise. Ideally, you can base your
projects on real workplace activities. If you are not currently working, or if you
can’t base your projects on your real workplace, you may contrive a realistic
scenario. For help, discuss your ideas with your program leader or assessor.
Can I use work recently completed as the basis for a project?
Yes you can. For more information see the Frequently-Asked-Questions
section of this document.
Requirements for satisfactory completion of each project
To obtain a satisfactory result for each project:
● all required evidence must be submitted and
● all evidence must be of a satisfactory standard.
Each project includes guidance notes
Guidance notes appear in blue, italic font.
Guidance notes list the assessment criteria assessors will use
when reviewing the work you submit. Please refer to these
notes as you complete assigned tasks and ensure that the
work you submit complies with the criteria listed.
The purpose of the projects
is to assess your ability to perform in real realistic working conditions

Third party reference
What is the third party reference?
The third party reference is a short questionnaire that a suitable ‘third party’
referee should complete.
By completing the third party reference questionnaire, your referee will:
● verify authenticity of the evidence you provide (i.e. to verify that you—not
someone else—completed the required assessment tasks)
● make general comments about the degree to which the assessment tasks
you complete reflect the way you typically approach this type of work.
Selecting a third party referee
Your third party referee should have expertise in training and assessment or
the industry in which you work.
An appropriate referee may be:
● (preferred) a supervisor (or equivalent) from your current workplace, OR
● a customer, a mentor, or someone who may or may not work with you.
They must not be related to you and they must be able to make general
comments about the work you have completed for the assessment.
If you have any trouble identifying a suitable third party referee, discuss your
concerns with your trainer. We’ll be able to work something out.
Detailed instructions for the third party referee
Detailed instructions for the third party referee are found in the assessment
booklet for each module.
More questions?
If you or the third party referee have any questions about the third party
reference, ask your TAE trainer or contact TAE Institute. We’ll be happy to
help.
Compiling your assessment portfolios
The assessment portfolio you submit must be well-organised, or it will be
returned to you. Follow the instructions in the Portfolio Document to compile
your portfolio, this checklist will be distributed in class.
1. If submitting your portfolio in hard copy, do not submit individual pages in
plastic sleeves. Your assessor will write comments on your work; plastic
sleeves make this hard.
2. Make a back-up copy of your portfolio before submitting it, especially if
submitting a hard copy portfolio. We cannot be responsible for portfolios
lost or damaged in transit.

Frequently asked questions
What is my assessment deadline?
Assessments for each module should be submitted within six months after the
start of training for that module.
Where do I send completed assessment tasks?
Please send completed assessment tasks to P O Box 278 Cooranbong NSW
2265.
What if I can’t submit my completed assessment tasks by the deadline?
The sooner after training you complete your assessment tasks, the easier it will
be to complete them; but we know how busy life can get, and are happy to
offer a reasonable extension if needed.
Contact TAE Institute as soon as possible to negotiate a revised deadline that
is workable for all.
May I use work I have already done as the evidence for assigned
assessment tasks?
Yes, you may use work previously completed as the evidence for assigned
assessment tasks, provided:
● the work was completed ‘recently’ (i.e. within the past 12 months or so),
and
● you can provide all the required evidence listed in the assessment task,
and
● the evidence is of a ‘satisfactory’ standard (see the blue guidance notes
in the ‘evidence required’ section of the assessment task).
Please discuss your options with your trainer.
I’m not currently working as a trainer/assessor. How can I complete the
projects?
Relax! Many candidates are in your situation, and we are very experienced
in helping our clients create real or simulated (‘realistic’) opportunities to
complete assessments. Some options include:
● Time permitting, you may be able to complete some tasks during training
● Your trainer can work with you to identify suitable scenarios you can base
assessment tasks on. We’re very good at helping you be creative. Discuss
your concerns with your trainer.
Program Information ● TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment
Page ●16 TAE 40116 Program Information V5.1
I’m not sure I can complete the assessment tasks as described. Do you
offer any flexibility?
Yes, we’re flexible! If it would help make the assessment more ‘accessible’ to
you, we’re happy to make a reasonable adjustment to the assessment
process. We can’t compromise the quality of the assessment, though.
Please discuss your options with your trainer.
What are the possible assessment results?
The only possible assessment results you can get for each unit are:
Results for individual assessment activities or items of evidence
Each item of evidence submitted will be marked as S or NYS
Satisfactory S The quality of evidence submitted is of a satisfactory standard
Not yet satisfactory
NYS The quality of evidence submitted is not of a satisfactory standard, or the required evidence was not submitted.
Overall result for each TAE40110 unit
The overall result to be awarded for each unit will be C or NYC
Competent C Celebrate! All required evidence was submitted, and all evidence was of a satisfactory quality. You have earned a statement of attainment for the unit/s of competency assessed.
Not yet competent
NYC There are two possible reasons for a NYC result:
● The evidence you submitted was of a satisfactory standard but not all the required evidence was submitted (in this case, all you need to do is submit the remaining required evidence)
● The evidence you submitted was not of a satisfactory standard (in this case, you’ll be asked to re-submit the evidence that was not of a satisfactory standard)
If you attain a NYC result, your assessor will work with you to devise a suitable action plan to achieve competence.
Remember that we aren’t here to ‘fail’ you—our intent is to keep working with
you until you achieve competency.
Will my assessment records be kept confidential?
Yes! Assessment records are stored securely, and won’t be shared with
anyone who is not authorised to view them.
Will I get my portfolio back once the assessment has been completed?
No, your portfolio is not returned to you. You need to keep a copy of your
portfolio before you submit it to TAE Institute.

beneficial solution, then follow the appeals procedure as discussed in the
