To deliver VET training products, a trainer and assessor must have an approved trainer and assessor profile. You can access a trainer and assessor profile guide and template in the VET application in the QCAA Portal.
All trainer and assessor profiles must include documented and verifiable evidence supporting the requirements for:
- training and assessment credentials
- industry competencies, skills and knowledge
- current industry skills
- current professional development in training and assessment.
To deliver training products identified as high risk for Years 10–12 students (i.e. units that involve competencies that are potentially physically risky or use hazardous chemicals), trainers and assessors must hold additional verifiable formal vocational qualifications and/or industry experience.
The high-risk units include:
- all welding units
- chemical units
- some animal handling units
- some construction units
- units that may require trainers and assessors to provide first aid, e.g. HLTAID011
- coaching units
- licensed outcome units
- units that require blue cards, e.g. childcare and sport coaching
- units that require vehicle licences
- units that require white cards, e.g. construction.
See Section 5 of the TAS for more information about high-risk unit delivery requirements.
