The TAE50116 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training and TAE50216 Diploma of Training, Design and Development do not necessarily replace a Certificate IV TAE as they are both valuable for different reasons.
The TAE40116 Cert IV TAE is very valuable as an entry-level qualification for people moving into the VET industry who have not had much experience in the VET space.
The Diplomas are very valuable for a number of reasons:
They will provide further skills and knowledge to established trainers and assessors.
They can strengthen and further your learning in the VET space
They can assist you in understanding organisational structure and compliance
While the Diplomas do not replace the Certificate IV, they can be held instead of the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment when it comes to demonstrating compliance with ASQA’s Standards for RTO’s Clause 1.13 – 1.16
