AQF

Australia

The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian Education and Training.  It incorporates the qualifications from each education and training sector into a single comprehensive national qualifications framework.

CIPS has mapped two AQF qualifications :

• the AQF Diploma of Procurement and Contracting (PSP50616)
• the AQF Advanced Diploma of Procurement and Contracting (PSP60616)

to enable learners to apply for CIPS student membership during their programme(s) of learning, and to provide routes into CIPS qualifications which recognise their achievements and prior learning,  thus reducing the additional learning and assessment needed to gain professional recognition.

Details are contained in the relevant CIPS accreditation statements
