Trainer & Assessor Positions

What do I need to be considered?

To be considered for a Trainer and Assessor role with Novaskill, you will generally need:

• A recognised training and assessment credential, such as the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, TAE40116 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, or another credential recognised under the current RTO Standards.
• Relevant vocational qualifications and competencies in the industry area you wish to train and assess.
• Current industry skills, knowledge and experience that reflect contemporary workplace practices.
• A commitment to ongoing professional development to maintain both industry currency and training and assessment skills.

At Novaskill we deliver training across construction, hospitality, community services, business, and leadership and management, so we value trainers who bring recent, real-world industry experience into the learning environment.

Working Towards Your TAE?

If you are an experienced industry professional and are currently working towards a recognised training and assessment qualification, we would still love to hear from you.

Under the 2025 Standards for RTOs, individuals who are actively working towards an approved training and assessment credential may deliver training and contribute to assessment activities while working under the direction of a qualified Trainer and Assessor. They must be enrolled, have commenced their studies, and be making satisfactory progress towards completion. Assessment judgements, however, must be made by a fully qualified assessor.

If you have strong industry experience and a passion for developing others, we may be able to support your transition into the vocational education and training sector while you complete your training and assessment qualification.
