(1) Course offerings vary from year to year due to a range of factors including changing industry needs, student demand, lecturer availability, alteration in infrastructure, delivery mode, accreditation status and regular curriculum updates.
87 qualifications or equivalent qualifications offered in 2014 are not being offered in 2015 by State Training Providers. These totals include some double-counting of qualifications, as the same qualification may no longer be offered across more than one State Training Provider or at multiple campuses within a State Training Provider.
It should also be noted that 40 qualifications, excluding equivalent qualifications, are being offered in 2015 that were not offered in 2014.
