Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this really an upgrade?

A: No. Technically, the transition from TAA50104 to TAE50111 and/or TAE50211 is not an upgrade. TAA50104 is not a superseded qualification but a deleted one and it has not been replaced. TAE50111 and TAE50211 are brand new qualifications with very different and distinctive focuses compared to TAA50104. However, some of the units that were available in TAA50104 have been mapped as either fully or partially equivalent to units included in the Packaging Rules for TAE50111 and TAE50211, which is why MRWED is offering an Upgrade option so that participants can upgrade the units they have previously completed and obtain one or both of the new qualifications without unnecessarily participating in a training and assessment pathway for all parts of the new qualification/s.

Q: When can I get started?

A: Enrolment is available now and you can start anytime using the MRWED self-paced training materials for Online and Correspondence study options. The course timetable at includes upcoming course dates for face-to-face classes in selected locations.
