Qualifications
Choosing which qualifications you want to pursue can be
confusing. It helps when you know how all the different
qualification methods fit together.
The
Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is a unified
system of twelve national qualifications in schools,
vocational education and training institutions (TAFEs and
private providers) and the higher education sector (mainly
universities).
The National Training Information Service (NTIS)
is a large database about vocational education and training
in Australia. It contains detailed information about
courses, qualifications, training packages, competency
standards, and training organisations.
The NTIS serves the Vocational Education and Training (VET)
sector. It provides information on:
- VET accredited courses
- competency standards
- training packages
- training providers
- related issues.
