Workplace Training and Assessment jobs in Burnie

Workplace Training and Assessment in Burnie involves the same work as it does anywhere in Australia, but who employs you, and under which registration or clearance, is local. Burnie's largest employing industries are Health Care and Social Assistance, Manufacturing and Retail Trade, which shapes both where the work is and how steady it tends to be. Licensing is set by Tasmania, not nationally — the requirements below are the ones that apply here.

Licensing

Licensing for workplace training and assessment in TAS

This occupation is not licensed and no state teacher regulatory authority registers workplace trainers. The requirement depends entirely on what you deliver. If you deliver or assess nationally recognised training from training.gov.au on behalf of an RTO, the Standards for Registered Training Organisations apply and you must hold TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or its listed equivalents, or TAE50122 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training, to work without direction; someone actively working towards the credential has two years to complete it while supervised. If you deliver purely internal, non-accredited training, there is no legal credential requirement, though TAE40122 remains the market standard. Where training involves learners under 18 — apprentices, trainees, school-based trainees or youth programs — you need the child-related clearance for your own state or territory. Some industry-specific training, such as high risk work licence training, carries its own separate accreditation requirements set by the work health and safety regulator in each state.

Tasmania
No Teachers Registration Board of Tasmania registration applies. Registration to Work with Vulnerable People (RWVP) from CBOS, Department of Justice, is required for training learners under 18. High risk work assessors are accredited by WorkSafe Tasmania.

Licensing rules change. Confirm with the regulator named above before quoting or contracting — this page is a starting point, not advice.

Local market

Who hires in workplace training and assessment in Burnie

Burnie's employment base is heavy industry and freight rather than services. Grange Resources runs the Savage River magnetite mine and Port Latta pellet plant from a Burnie head office, Elphinstone manufactures underground mining equipment in the city, and TasPorts' Port of Burnie is Tasmania's main container gateway.

Grange Resources (Savage River magnetite mine and Port Latta pellet plant; head office in Burnie), Elphinstone Pty Ltd (underground mining equipment manufacturing), TasPorts (Port of Burnie) and Department of Health Tasmania (North West Regional Hospital) are among the largest employers in Burnie. Most people working in workplace training and assessment here, though, are hired by small and mid-sized businesses rather than by the names everyone recognises — which is why so many local vacancies never reach a big job board.

Role

What the job involves

Workplace trainers and learning and development professionals plan, deliver and evaluate training inside organisations so staff have the skills the business needs.

  • Conduct training needs analysis with managers and identify capability gaps
  • Design learning programs, session plans, e-learning modules and supporting materials
  • Deliver face-to-face, virtual and blended training to adult learners
  • Assess competence in the workplace and provide structured feedback and coaching
  • Onboard and induct new staff and design role-specific ramp-up programs
  • Evaluate training effectiveness and report on completion, capability and business impact
  • Maintain training records for compliance, licensing and audit purposes
  • Manage relationships with external training providers, RTOs and content vendors
