Thinking About Becoming a VET Educator?

Start Here

The education sector is changing fast – and so are the people leading it. If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to teach but I wouldn’t know where to start” – you’re not alone.

TAE Plus is a supportive, modern pathway into vocational education designed with you in mind. Whether you’re exploring a career change, want to share your industry knowledge or simply feel drawn to helping others learn – TAE Plus gives you more than just the “how” of teaching, it helps you grow into the role with confidence and purpose.

Delivered by SportsReady Education (RTO 22394), you’ll explore why you want to teach and how to thrive while doing it. You’ll work towards a nationally recognised qualification, but also learn:

  • How to feel confident teaching others
  • How to stay grounded and well while you do it
  • How to build a meaningful teaching identity and purpose
  • How to thrive, not just survive

TAE Plus is more than a qualification. It’s a supported learning experience that helps you step into vocational teaching feeling capable, confident and clear about why you’re there.

The Whole Educator Approach

 

If you’ve looked into the TAE before, you’re not alone if it felt confusing, intense or hard to navigate. Most teaching pathways focus purely on compliance and content. We focus on you.

Our program is a movement built on a simple philosophy: Healthy educators create healthy students. We equip you with the skills to train and inspire others by first helping you understand yourself. That means: 

  • Purpose-driven learning – reconnect with what inspires you 
  • Resilience training – stay confident under pressure 
  • Flexible delivery – complete your qualification in as little as 6 months 
  • A real community – learn alongside others 

Our holistic, human-centered approach prepares the “whole educator”, combining accredited skills with personal well-being and professional resilience. We’re the only program that addresses the real causes of educator burnout and attrition through a unique blend of in-person coaching, AI-powered tools and practical, real-world learning.

TAE Plus is for you if….

  • You’re curious about teaching but don’t know where to begin 
  • You want to share your skills, knowledge or experience with others 
  • You’re exploring a career change 
  • You’ve felt burnt out and want a healthier approach to working in education 
  • You want a meaningful career that makes a difference 
You’ll leave with clarity and a real sense of “I can do this”
