Help choosing a course
- How do I compare qualifications?
- Look at the level first: a certificate, a diploma and a degree are different steps, and they are not interchangeable routes into the same job. Then check what the role you want asks for, and what the course costs and how long it takes. Each qualification page lists these next to the providers that teach it.
- Can I complete a course online?
- Some can be studied mostly online, but many still need practical attendance or a work placement, and some occupations require it before you can be registered or licensed. Check the provider's own course page for delivery and placement details before you enrol.
- Where can I check fees and funding?
- Fees and government funding differ by provider, course and state, and eligibility depends on your circumstances. Confirm the current figure with the provider and with your state training authority. Funding is not available to everyone.
Qualification facts come from training.gov.au, the national VET register, and Course Seeker, run by the Tertiary Admissions Centres and the Australian Government Department of Education. Study areas are grouped by field, never by commercial relationship, and the provider lists are not ranked by who pays. Qualification lists cover what we hold, which may not be every course offered in Australia. How we source and check information.
