Diploma courses are one step up from certificate qualifications in the Vocational Education and Training sector. Varying in length from around one to two years of full-time study, these courses prepare students to pursue careers in paraprofessional, technical, supervisory or management positions. As a diploma student, you’ll expand your knowledge and develop specific skills in your chosen field, as well as general skills such as planning, management and analysis. Advanced diploma courses are also available for students wishing to develop advanced practical skills and a high level of expertise in areas such as accounting, marketing, engineering or IT, to name a few. Diploma courses, especially advanced ones, can also provide a pathway into higher education, including university study.
