Unit Courses

Course units are designed for students looking to enhance specific skills or knowledge without committing to a full course. These flexible and focused learning options allow you to tailor your studies to fit your personal or professional goals.

What is a unit course?

A unit course is a single subject from a nationally recognised qualification, like a Certificate, Diploma or degree. You can study it on its own to learn something specific or to work toward a full qualification. Browse available units.

Can I study just one unit without doing the whole course?

Yes! Studying one unit is perfect if you want to build a skill fast or try a subject before enrolling in a full course.

Will I receive a qualification for completing a unit?

You’ll receive a Statement of Attainment, which proves you’ve completed a recognised part of a larger qualification. Learn more at training.gov.au.

Are unit courses available online?

Absolutely. Most providers offer flexible online options. Explore online unit courses.

Can I use one unit to start a career?

In some industries, yes. One unit may meet a licensing or compliance requirement or form part of a job-ready skill set. See recognised skill sets.
