graduate diploma, advanced diploma ,diploma

澳洲有这3种叫diploma 的课程，graduate diploma 最高，是bachelor 以后的研究生文凭， Advanced diploma 相当大专， diploma 相当于中专，原来申请485签证时候，这3个diploma 都是diploma 都可以计算入2年学习。 这是字面的理解。

可是移民局最近定义了diploma diploma has the meaning given in subregulation 2.26AC(6).

diploma means:

(a)  an associate diploma, or a diploma, within the meaning of the Register of Australian Tertiary Education (as current on 1 July 1999), that is awarded by a body authorised to award diplomas of those kinds; or

(b)  a diploma, or an advanced diploma, under the Australian Qualifications Framework, that is awarded by a body authorised to award diplomas of those kinds.

这样一来 graduate diploma 就是不能再计入2年学习时间了。但是比graduate diploma 级别低的advanced diploma 和 diploma 却可以计入2年学习时间。
