AQF Levels

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) describes a hierarchy of educational achievements in Australia, ranging from basic to advanced levels. It includes ten levels, with Level 1 representing basic skills, like a certificate I, and Level 10 indicating a doctoral degree. Each level builds on the knowledge, skills, and competencies of the previous one. For example, a level 5 diploma involves more complex understanding and practical applications than a level 4 certificate. The AQF helps students, educators, and employers understand the depth and quality of educational qualifications in Australia.
