Every CRICOS-registered advanced diploma course delivered to international students in Australia, organised by state and city. Sourced from the official CRICOS register.
Advanced Diploma sits at AQF level 6 on the Australian Qualifications Framework — a vocational education and training (VET) qualification recognised across Australia and by employers and registered providers internationally.
Advanced diplomas (AQF Level 6) sit between diploma and bachelor level. They suit students seeking deeper vocational expertise (e.g. accounting, engineering technology, hospitality management, community services) or a shorter alternative to a full bachelor while remaining competitive for many mid-level roles.
Advanced diplomas are commonly offered by TAFEs and specialist private colleges. Some universities also list advanced diploma exit points inside broader undergraduate programmes.
Expect roughly 18–24 months full-time on many CRICOS advanced diplomas. Fees vary widely by field — trades and studio-based programmes often carry higher non-tuition costs for materials and placement.
Like other VET awards, advanced diplomas for international students must be CRICOS-registered. Check work-component hours carefully — unpaid placement requirements affect timetable planning and visa work-rights balance.
