The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the policy for nationally regulated qualifications in Australian education. Each of the qualifications described by the AQF may only be delivered by approved and registered organisations, and the courses of study leading to the award of these qualifications must meet the requirements described in the AQF for qualifications at that level.

Regulators responsible for ensuring educational organisations comply with the AQF include the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) and the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

In a constructively aligned course, the unit learning outcomes are aligned not only with the assessments, learning activities and content of the unit, but also with the course of study learning outcomes, graduate outcomes and any legislation and regulator's requirements. A good learning outcome is at the right knowledge level and measurable, clearly describing the necessary evidence that a student has achieved the outcome.
