What you receive

Built to the register’s development standard

Every release in this category is developed to a fixed instruction in the AHEG category register:

One document per course. Write the course learning outcomes in the language of the target AQF level and map every unit to at least one course learning outcome.
  • Fully editable Microsoft Office formats
  • Written in Australian English
  • Every artefact states the HESF 2021 standard, ESOS requirement, AQF specification or professional standard it addresses
  • Version number, release date and review date on every resource
  • Calibrated to the AQF descriptor of the target level
Why architecture first

The design reasoning

  • A coherent frame makes every later approval simpler
  • Pathways and nested exits designed in, not patched on
  • Workload and progression modelled before units are written
  • Design documents your academic board can actually interrogate
  • Research proportion specified where Honours or postgraduate design requires it
  • Professionally accredited courses designed with the accrediting body's requirements on the table
