Training - Qualifications
The Qualifications list in Historion is a read-only set of Qualification Levels publically available on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) web site. The AQF is nationally recognised by all levels of Government and is maintained by the Commonwealth Department of Education in consultation with all State Governments.
The 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.
The AQF was introduced in 1995 to underpin the national system of qualifications in Australia encompassing higher education, vocational education and training and schools.
Historion uses the AQF to categorise and group Radiation Safety Training Courses where the AQF classification can be assigned to the course.

The AQF is a formal classification system regulated by the Australian Federal Department of Education and it is recognized by Commonwealth, State and Local Government entities.
Users cannot add, edit or delete AQA classifications or their descriptions. This is by design. The list can be exported to Excel for reference if required. The AQF descriptions will be updated over time on behalf of Historion Users if required, where updates have been made public by the AQF itself.
The objectives of the AQF are to provide a contemporary and flexible framework that:
Accommodates the diversity of purposes of Australian education and training now and into the future Contributes to national economic performance by supporting contemporary, relevant and nationally consistent qualification outcomes which build confidence in qualifications.
Supports the development and maintenance of pathways which provide access to qualifications and assist people to move easily and readily between different education and training sectors and between those sectors and the labour market.
Supports individuals’ lifelong learning goals by providing the basis for individuals to progress through education and training and gain recognition for their prior learning and experiences.
Underpins national regulatory and quality assurance arrangements for education and training supports and enhances the national and international mobility of graduates and workers through increased recognition of the value and comparability of Australian qualifications.
Enables the alignment of the AQF with international qualifications frameworks.
Per the last AQF objective, the RSO can categorise training and accreditation from any staff that have come from and have Radiation Safety Training from overseas organisations with consistency.
The AQF details screen shows the explanation of each qualification level. The RSO can conveniently refer the descriptions when classifying a Course or equivalent overseas qualification levels as needed;
