How do we Deliver?
HBA delivers using a flexible and blended delivery approach which combines several delivery, assessment, and support approaches including:
- Initial intensive workshop of 4-5 days where intensive delivery of underpinning knowledge is undertaken as well as several short delivery, design, and assessment tasks.
- Free ongoing monthly training and review days where the learners have input to the subjects and materials covered. The learner can attend as many of these days as needed for their individual learning needs.
- Ongoing email and phone help desk support where the learner communicates directly with trainers/assessors for flexible tuition, guidance, and feedback.
- Additional 1/1 face to face assistance can be booked for individual learners where HBA feels this is appropriate to meet the learner's needs.
- HBA's Online Discussion Forum where learners can source resources and discuss TAA40104 with other learners, facilitators and assessors and engage in group learning and cooperation.
- 4 workbooks which include questions and project tasks with delivery and assessment activities and the development of learning support material for your circumstances.
Everyone's circumstances and needs may be different so the elements above can be tailored to best suit these individual needs and ensure that each learner has the best support possible.

New Weekend Cert IV Training and Assessment TAA40104 Course in North Sydney just announced!
We are offering a weekend delivery for TAA40104 that will commence on Saturday 9th January 2010. It will run from 9am to 2pm at North Sydney Harbourview Hotel, 17 Blue St, North Sydney (next to North Sydney Train Station) and will take 4 consecutive Saturdays: 9th January, 16th January, 23rd January and 30th January. The 30th is optional as the Learner may elect to do their 15 minute training session assessment at home and video it or attend the last day of any HBA course. The price will be the normal price ($1450) and, of course, it is a Blended Delivery which means you will be completing assessments after the sessions in your own time. Please enquire for more information and enrol to secure your place.
How Long?
Because we have a blended model where you complete some of the assignments at home or work (or all of it you are Self-Paced) it is impossible to give an exact figure. Your learning style, past experience and level of education can affect how long it takes you and we give you as much time as you need to complete. To give you a clearer picture, here are the 2 ends of the spectrum. An experienced TAFE teacher may well complete the workbooks after the face to face element of our blended delivery in between 60 and 70 hours. A person who has never trained or assessed or has not studied for some time may well take 200 hours. It is likely you will fall somewhere between these 2 points. Depending on individual background, experience, and access to resources the total hours needed to achieve TAA40104 may vary, but all learners need to meet the benchmarks detailed in the TAA04 Training Package. All learner activities and assessment tasks have been mapped against the units of competence and meet the performance criteria, critical aspects of evidence, and context of assessment to achieve competency.
Price
We charge only $1450 for Face to Face delivery and $1175 for self paced delivery. That is less than a quarter of some providers! We took a view about pricing that was consistent with one of the key drivers of the Federal Government which is make learning available to everyone. Prices vary for upgrade, RPL and RCC.
Flexible
At HBA we have delivered this course to more Learners than you can imagine, it is what we do for a living and it is our speciality. Therefore you would imagine we know the subject matter pretty well. Using our intimate knowledge of the course we have developed a course that is user friendly, can be delivered in several ways, and has been targeted for flexible delivery options in this ever busy world we live in.
If you choose our Self Paced delivery, that means you can do the entire course at home. It is ideally suited to Learners who are not able to take time off work.
We can tailor a program to suit any individuals work commitments and this can include a mix of self paced and face to face delivery or attending some days on one course and other days on a subsequent course.
