Vocational education in Australia complies with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).

The Australian Vocational Education System is part of the AQF and has become a world leader in the delivery of relevant, quality vocational education. The vocational education system specializes in enabling students to achieve practical skills and knowledge whilst at the same time helping them to develop attitudes that will assist them in the work place. A graduate from the Australian vocational education system is equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be a productive professional adding value for any employer or business. 

Using an industry endorsed curriculum or training package delivered through practical and 'hands on' learning models and facilitated by experienced instructors, the Australian Vocational Education System drives high levels of achievement and makes a worthwhile difference to the individual. 

The Australian University education system is also part of the AQF and is equally well regarded worldwide for the quality of its graduates. With a degree from an Australian University, a graduate has developed a range of critical analysis and problem-solving skills that will make him or her an asset to any organization. Graduates are professionals who have the ability to think creatively and adapt their knowledge to most work situations. Successful completion of a degree can also lead to postgraduate education up to PhD level in an Australian University. 

The vocational education and university education systems in Australia are integrated through the AQF to enable students to move seamlessly from one system to the other. ACK focuses on providing students with both vocational skills and theoretical knowledge to ensure that they can contribute to their employer’s business from the day they graduate.
