Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) - what the levels mean

AQF levels and the AQF levels criteria are an indication of the relative complexity and/or depth of achievement and the autonomy required to demonstrate that achievement. AQF level 1 has the lowest complexity and AQF level 10 has the highest complexity.

Chisholm provides qualifications from Certificate level I to Graduate Certificate as well as a number of pathways into degrees with our university partners.

This means that all students can continue to build their skills and qualifications on their Chisholm journey.
