• Additional assessment or evidence is required for the non-equivalent units to be recognised by RPL.

Your learning resources will include:

Specific activities have been developed for experienced trainers to bridge the “gaps” that exist between TAE40110 and the requirements of TAE40116 in the most efficient way possible.
