Collection of information on qualification 'field' is required for 'Highest non-school qualification', as it is used to improve the coding accuracy of the qualification 'level'. With the introduction of the AQF in 1995, qualifications at the Advanced Diploma/Diploma and Certificate Levels were renamed. 'Year non-school qualification completed' is used to accurately code these levels (see Editing Procedures section in 'Collection Methods') RELATED CLASSIFICATIONS Various classifications are applicable.
