This is a relevant training course for individuals who regularly are requested to witness documents in their job. When you successfully complete this course in community justice through our registered training organisation you will be able to assume this voluntary role for community justice.

The 10793NAT Community Justice Services (Commissioner for Declarations) course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to assist them in their community volunteering responsibilities of witnessing and certifying documents. This self-paced Distance Learning course enables eligible applicants to apply to become a Commissioner for Declarations โ€“ the Department of Justice and Attorney-General will charge an additional fee for your registration.

The CDEC course will equip you with the knowledge to take on an administrative role, without any judicial function โ€“ so you donโ€™t deal with any type of court process.

The professional services a CDEC can provide are of crucial importance for upholding the law. A CDEC can:

  • witness important documents
  • witness signatures
  • witness statutory declarations
  • witness affidavits
  • witness and administer oaths and affirmations
  • certify a true copy of an original document

Upon the successful completion of the assessment process of the Commissioner for Declarations course, there are still services you cannot provide. A CDEC cannot:

  • issue search warrants
  • issue arrest warrants for any criminal offences
  • grant bail

Assessment is completed by open book, question and answer, from home. (Once you click on Book Now, choose the closest Intake Date to when you want to start โ€“ the Intake Date is only for our office purposes, you are welcome to start the books as soon as you have made payment). You have up to 12 months to complete and submit your assessment.

There are a number of restrictions/pre-requisites when it comes to applying for the commissioner for declarations course and following this registration โ€“ please ensure you check these below, before enrolling.

For anyone wishing to become a Justice of the Peace, please see our Justice of the Peace course page for further information about completing a course in community justice. By finishing our Justice of the Peace course you will be able to start providing community justice services for this vital and responsible role too.

Note: For international students โ€“ we are not a CRICOS training organisation. Please check your visa requirements for enrolment. We cannot accept international students who are here on a student visa.

I recently pursued my Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE40116) through RAM Training Services and was thoroughly impressed by their professional approach. Their utilization of webinars made learning engaging and interactive, bridging the gap often found in online education. The seasoned instructors were adept at elucidating complex concepts, making the learning journey both enlightening and enjoyable. Moreover, the convenience and flexibility of webinar sessions accommodated my schedule perfectly. The course not only honed my vocational training skills but also instilled a deeper understanding of the subject matter, preparing me for real-world applications. Highly recommend RAM Training Services for anyone looking to elevate their training and assessment expertise.

I know some people struggle to complete the TAE 40116. It can be quite involved. Doing RAM's 5 day intensive though helped me understand what needed to be done and set me up to be able to complete the course quickly. A word of advice: If you study this way complete the 'homework' immediately after the intensive (in the evening after each day) while the learning is fresh in your mind. If you leave it too long you will forget what to do which will make it more onerous to complete. It makes for a very busy week but you can break the back of the workload very quickly. Thanks RAM for providing the support needed to complete the TAE quickly.
