Choose the stream that suits your TAFE role

The TAE50122 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training is designed for experienced VET professionals who want to strengthen their practice, build advanced capability, and specialise in an area that aligns with their role and career direction. At HBTA, we offer all three streams within the qualification:

Advanced Training and Assessment
Design and Development
VET Leadership

This gives you the flexibility to choose a pathway that best suits your goals and the teaching you do in your TAFE. Each stream includes units designed to extend your capability, challenge your thinking, and support meaningful professional growth.

Who can enrol

To enter this qualification, you must hold the TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, or an equivalent successor qualification. You also need to be currently teaching at a Victorian TAFE, as assessment tasks and your Schedule 4 practicum require access to real vocational education and training practice and workplace application. This ensures you complete the qualification in a context that reflects your TAFE teaching role and current industry expectations.

Before enrolment, we take the time to understand your background, goals and support needs. This may be completed through email or other pre-enrolment communication and helps us make sure the qualification, your chosen stream and your Schedule 4 practicum plan are the right fit. It also allows us to identify any support strategies you may need, so your learning experience with HBTA is practical, personalised and well supported from the outset.
