YYYY is the year of the completion or last year of participation.
If no information is available for year, code as “9999”.
Where a student has multiple qualifications, record the highest AQF level of participation, regardless of whether it was completed or not.
The order of these codes is not strictly hierarchical, due to the addition of codes over time.
