Qualifications Australia

Qualifications Australia (QA) is about the skills and knowledge an individual has accumulated through their jobs, work and life experiences. For example, working in an office could assist in receiving a Certificate in Business Administration. Working as a Mechanic in the Automotive Industry could count towards a Qualification in Automotive Technology. Working as a Patisserie Cook/Chef or a kitchen Chef can help obtain a Certificate in Patisserie or Commercial Cookery. This also applies to professions like Beauty Therapy, Nail Art, IT Sectors, Media, etc.

Before considering a new study or training program, one should consider their existing skill set. The individual may find opportunities to expedite the qualification process and minimise the time and effort required to acquire their qualification, which does not require them to study.

Being awarded Australian Qualifications through QA’s authorised Australian education providers means that an individual does not have to study what they already know. Instead, they provide evidence that they already have the knowledge and skills that studying the qualification would give them.

Evidence for an assessment can be attained through paid and voluntary work in Australia and overseas. Qualifications gained through QA range from Certificates and Diplomas up to Advanced Diplomas and Graduate Diplomas.

Attaining nationally and internationally recognised qualifications through QA demonstrates the individual’s expertise to employers and fosters a sense of self-worth. At least two years of relevant experience is required, and the expertise cited as evidence must be within the last 3-5 years.

QA certifications and qualifications accredited by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) make it an Australian Nationally Recognized Qualification that meets the Australian and International Industry Standards.

Numerous individuals across different industries find themselves stuck at an entry-level position despite possessing competent skills acquired through their years of experience. Similarly, many face challenges when migrating, and the reason for both is the lack of qualifications, which hinders better opportunities, growth, and success. Qualifications Australia strives to help such individuals bridge their gap and empower their careers with relevant qualifications.
