Australian Qualifications Framework

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is a national policy that defines the levels of education and qualifications in Australia. It provides a structured way to understand and compare different qualifications, ranging from certificates to doctorates. Each level indicates the skills, knowledge, and competencies expected from graduates. The AQF aims to ensure that education is consistent, high-quality, and recognized across all states and territories, facilitating pathways for learners to advance in their studies and careers. It helps employers, students, and educational institutions understand the value of qualifications in the workforce.
