atw: Re: certificate 4

Hi Jasmine,

I am technical writer by profession in IT field, and have around 4+ years of 
experience in this filed.My work is mostly related to developing user guides, 
reference guides, online modules and sometimes training manuals. 

But now I have seen a lot of change in job requirements,  a person with cert 4 
gets an advantage. And I think after completing this certificate it will open 
new opportunities in training field.

I am doing a bit of research on the institutes in Melbourne, and MRWED seems a 
good one.

Thanks for the info again

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.

Hi Jasmine,

Thanks for the info. Did you do the whole package or just some selected modules.

And is it better to enroll in Face to Face course or correspondence is equally 
good.

Try www.mrwed.com.au. 
 
I did the old cert 4 in Assessment & Workplace Training with them and am now 
doing the upgrade to the cert 4 Training & Assessment. 
 
It's a great qualification for tech writers to have because training theory 
helps with analysing user/learner needs and so much more.

Hi All,

Can anyone please guide me regarding a good institute for Certificate 4 in 
workplace training and assessment.

And is it a good certification for technical writers?


Thanks
