The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is a national policy that regulates qualifications in Australia. It provides a structured framework for different levels of education and training, ranging from certificates to doctoral degrees. The AQF ensures that qualifications are consistent and recognized across the country, promoting quality and transparency in education. The AQF consists of ten levels, each representing a specific level of learning and skills. These levels include vocational education and training, higher education, and senior secondary education. By aligning qualifications, the AQF helps students, employers, and educational institutions understand the value and equivalence of various qualifications in Australia.
