From the Service Skills Australia newsletter:

The AQF Council has been undertaking a project to develop advice for MCTEE on strengthening the Australian Qualifications Framework to ensure it is nationally and internationally robust and supports flexible cross-sector linkages and pathways.

The project commenced in 2009 and following extensive research on stakeholder views and concerns, related academic literature and international practices, the AQF Council developed a proposal for a strengthened AQF. Stakeholders provided feedback on the proposal and the subsequent revised AQF based on a taxonomy of AQF qualifications that has a ten level structure; a classification of knowledge, skills and application (incorporating generic skills); and a notional duration of learning for each qualification type.

The AQF Council have now released a Consultation Paper for feedback by 4 August 2010.

Click here to download the paper [PDF: 1.52MB].
