What are the AQF qualifications in Training Packages?
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is an agreed nationally consistent set of qualifications for all post-compulsory education and training in Australia. The qualifications that are usually available in Training Packages are: • Certificate I • Certificate II • Certificate III • Certificate IV • Diploma • Advanced Diploma • Vocational Graduate Certificate • Vocational Graduate Diploma Each Training Package provides details of the Units of Competency that must be achieved for a candidate to be awarded a specific AQF qualification. The rules around which Units of Competency can be combined to make up a valid qualification are referred to as the ‘packaging rules’ which you can find in the Qualifications Framework. The packaging rules must be followed to ensure the integrity of nationally recognised qualifications is maintained across all RTOs.
