The TAE will be implemented under a transitional arrangement yet to be announced. Trainers and assessors currently practising within the VET sector and holding the TAA are not required to upgrade to the TAE Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and will be considered as holding the equivalent qualification for the purposes of compliance with AQTF Element 1.4 of Standard 1. No new enrolments in Certificate IV in TAA will be allowed from May 2011. The TAA qualification will remain an active training package for the purposes of supporting the Diploma of Training and Assessment (TAA50104) until it has completed a review process later this year. It is the intention of EACH Training to apply for TAE10 soon with any further changes relevant to the implementation of this course to be updated on this website. If you are currently undertaking TAA or intending to do so prior to May 2011 that your qualification will receive the same recognition as the new TAE. It is envisaged that while the TAE will replace the Certificate IV TAA it will not necessarily articulate nor will it replace the Diploma of TAA.

"Suicidal thoughts are triggered by all sorts of situations - work stress, home life, social interactions even environmental and global catastrophes,"he said. "In the past 12 months EACH has provided training to more than 200 individuals, mainly professionnals, and has recruited an additional 10 trainers from all over the State." He said EACH was planning to expand training to rural communities and other parts of Victoria. "Our workshop, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), is a two-day interactive program that includes teaching, discussion, video and skills practise." ASIST aims to provide practical help for care-givers seeking to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. "Course participants have included people concerned about family and friends; counsellors, teachers and ministers; workers in health, welfare and justice; community volunteers; and emergency service workers."

Manager Danny Wilcox has extensive experience in the nursery industry and said he is tremendously excited to be involved in the EACH project.Working with him is Elissa Hirst, also a qualified horticulturist, who is equally excited by the opportunity to work in an environment which has the potential to be personally rewarding and life changing for so many people.An open weekend will be held on 7 and 8 November and members of the public are invited to drop in, meet the new owners and their team and share ideas and aspirations for the new venture. 2009-10-27T02:21:06+00:00 http://www.each.com.au/each-training/news/another-news-article/ http://www.each.com.au/each-training/news/another-news-article/#When:04:44:45Z SIGNIFICANT CHANGES are in the pipeline with the addition of a number of training courses to the EACH Training Scope of Registration.New programs currently being investigated as accredited training (linked to the required standards as set out in the Australian Qualifications Framework AQF) include the following: 1.
