Volunteers with a Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment (BSZ or TAA) qualifications) will be pleased to hear CFA has declared their qualification to be relevant and of sufficient currency to permit them to continue to deliver training and assessment services when it comes to CFA training.
OTV Executive Director Lex de Man AFSM told the VFBV State Council that his staff had successfully lobbied for the decision as part of a clarification of who can train and assess.
“The decision clears the air so some valuable volunteer trainers and assessors can put their skills to use,” Mr de Man said.
“For CFA training purposes, the BSZ Enterprise Assessor Skill Set is considered equal to the later TAA and TAE Enterprise Assessor skill sets,” he said.
The clarification also deals with situations where volunteers are subject matter experts (SMEs) working under the oversight of a person holding the TAE40110 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or equivalent.
“For CFA purposes, that oversight can consist of regular guidance, face to face interaction or contact by phone; it does not require the overseer to be present during the training unless it is necessary because of the trainer’s experience or familiarity with the package they are delivering,” Mr de Man
said.
