Calculating course duration on CRICOS for non-government schools

03 September 2019

Primary, junior secondary and senior secondary courses are delivered to students over a year, or a number of years, so it is appropriate to calculate course duration on the basis of a 52-week period.

The course duration is linked to the Australian Qualifications Framework and does not differ between domestic and international students.

For example, to complete a course offering Years 8 to 10, the course would take three years, with a course duration of 156 weeks.
