Upcoming Short Courses 2026–2027

Three scholars talk together on university steps

Below are brief descriptions of the upcoming Short Courses that Australia Awards – South Asia & Mongolia plans to deliver in the financial year 2026—2027.

Short Course providers will be selected through a tender process, which will be announced on this website and the Australian Government’s website, AusConnect.

All Short Courses address specified learning outcomes and are delivered by an approved Australian Higher Education provider or an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO). The Australia Awards – South Asia & Mongolia program encourages tendering institutions to explore partnerships with organisations in the South Asia region, where appropriate.

Request for Tender is open 

The proposed Short Course aims to expose participants to Australia’s experience in implementing a national qualifications framework, to build on lessons learnt and explore approaches which may be applicable to Nepal’s context.

The selected Provider will design and deliver a Short Course that combines Australian policy experience, institutional practice, applied learning, and opportunities for engagement with relevant Australian organisations and individual subject matter experts. The course will strengthen Nepal’s capacity to operationalise its own NQF by exposing participants to Australian policy settings, institutional arrangements, implementation approaches, and practical tools that can be adapted to Nepal’s context.

The course will emphasise practical implementation rather than theoretical discussion and will culminate in institutional action planning.

This Short Course will support up to 20 participants.

This Short Course will be delivered via blended delivery over four months, commencing in January 2027 and completing no later than April 2027.

Registration of intent to submit a tender must be sent to tenders@australiaawardssouthasiamongolia.org by Friday 4 September 2026.
