Abstract
The Australian educational system consists of the three major "pillars." The first, the schools sector in which senior secondary educational certificates are issued upon the completion of year 12. The second, the Vocational, Educational, and Training (VET) sectors aimed at providing students with the skills to become "job ready." Credentials for students graduating from the VET sector can range from certificates, through to diplomas and advanced diplomas. The final pillar is the Higher Education Sector or universities, which awards diplomas, degrees, and advanced degrees.
