atw: Re: certificate 4

For the old certificate, I did the whole thing over a week and then had to
do a few post-course assignments.

The new certificate requires quite a few more subjects and takes alot
longer. For the upgrade, I am only doing the extra modules that weren't in
the old course. I am doing 4 days face to face in 2 blocks, each one is a
cluster of related modules. There is also a correspondence component to fill
in some gaps where the other subjects aren't directly equivalent. MRWED is
very flexible so you can break the course into chunks and complete it over a
few months. If you have a lot of experience with training, then do the
correspondence or online options. If not, go for the classroom option.
You'll get a lot more out of it if training is new for you, and the teachers
are great.

It's not a legal requirement to have Cert 4 TAA unless you will be
delivering nationally recognised training towards an AQF qualification for
an RTO, but it is often listed in selection criteria for any job related to
training. I would recommend doing the whole certificate if you write mainly
training materials or ever want to facilitate training. Otherwise you could
choose to do just the clusters that are relevant to what you want to learn,
and not bother with the full certificate. Also know that each provider will
group the modules into clusters differently, so you might want to shop
around to find one that suits you better if you don't need the whole
certificate. Community colleges are good if you only want one or two
clusters.
