A certificate is the initial qualification in educational steps. Certificate duration ranges from 6 months to 1 year but it could take more or less time depending on the institute you choose to study at. It can also help to prepare the student for higher undergraduate education.

Vocational Courses
A diploma helps the students involved to gain advanced cognitive and technical knowledge in a particular field. It normally takes about 2 years to obtain these qualifications, and they are usually in paraprofessional fields.
The associate degree or advanced diploma can take anywhere from 2-3 years and counts for approximately 3 to 4 semesters of bachelor’s work if the student decides to enrol in a bachelor’s degree later on. Advanced diplomas are best for those interested in studying in technical or vocational fields; Associate degrees are best for those interested in studying in fields that are considered to be more academic. A Diploma or an Associate’s degree can be very helpful in the process of obtaining employment in Australia or your home country.
