Australian Qualifications Framework

The Australian Qualifications Framework (commonly known as the AQF) is a unified system of 12 national qualifications in schools, vocational education and training (TAFEs and private providers) and the higher education sector (mainly universities).

The qualifications range from Certificates I through to Doctoral Degrees. The Framework links all these qualifications and is a quality-assured national system of educational recognition which promotes lifelong learning and a seamless and diverse education and training system.

The Australian Qualifications Framework website provides more information on these qualifications.
