AQF Qualifications

The AQF comprises national qualifications issued in:
- the secondary schools sector;
- the vocational education and training sector (TAFE and registered private providers); and
- the higher education sector (mainly universities).

These qualifications are shown below, grouped according to the educational sector which is responsible for their accreditation. You can access further information about a particular qualification by clicking on the links in the table below, or for further information, see the AQF Implementation Handbook (2007).

It should be noted that vocational education and training is increasingly provided in the schools sector (VET in Schools) which may be recognised at the appropriate Certificate I - IV level or as credit towards the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education. Some Certificate I - IV qualifications are also issued in the higher education sector and there is also a vocational education and training pathway to the Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma.

Statement of Attainment

(Revised 2007)
A Statement of Attainment is issued by a Registered Training Organisation when an individual has completed one or more units of competency from nationally recognised qualification(s)/courses(s).
