UTS Training and Development Services acknowledges and supports mutual recognition and to this end will accept the credentials (Statements of Attainment or qualifications), where relevant, issued by other Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) based in any State/Territory of Australia.

Recognition Assessment Processes

Many trainers and assessors may already be competent and have acquired a number of units of competency from the Training Package for Assessment and Workplace Training BSZ98. Recognition assessment processes are available for each Unit of Competence based on relevant workplace experience, formal training or other expertise. Recognition will involve your submission of evidence in a portfolio form and be assessed by our assessors. For all recognition process details contact our Centre Co-ordinator for further information.

Assessment

All learning and assessment programs in the qualification are assessed through on and off the job assessment tasks and a work-based project which requires you to compile a range of evidence to demonstrate competence.
These assessments consolidate the knowledge and skills gained during a learning and assessment program to enable validation and transfer of learning to the individual workplace context.

Award

Successful completion and demonstrated competence of a single unit entitles you to the award of a Statement of Attainment for that relevant unit of competence.

Successful completion and demonstrated competence of the set of eight (8) units of competence qualifies you for the award of Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training BSZ40198.

On completion of this qualification, you will have achieved the nationally recognised standards for Assessment and Workplace Training at level four of the Australian Qualifications Framework.
