strengthening the aqf: testing the proposed strengthened architecture of the aqf

On-line survey launch – Wednesday 10 March

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Council has commissioned research which will help validate and fine tune the structural elements of the strengthened AQF.

An on-line survey will gather data to empirically test the levels criteria, the qualification type descriptors and where Australia’s qualifications should be placed in a strengthened AQF.

People who use the AQF or have responsibility for developing, accrediting, delivering or assessing Australian senior secondary, vocational education and training or higher education qualifications are encouraged to take part. Around 700 survey responses are needed.

The on-line survey will be launched on Wednesday 10 March 2010. It will take around 20 minutes to complete.

To participate please go to www.aqf.edu.au and you will be directed to the survey.
