A diploma at TAFE is a course that takes between 1 (if you're taking fast tracking options) to 1 and a half years to complete. It provides basic classes and lessons that should prepare you for the advanced diploma, assuming you do not drop out after a diploma. An advanced Diploma is usually a 2 year course that covers much harder topics and is more extensive. Advanced Diplomas have the benefit of giving people a much higher chance of getting into Uni than a Diploma. But if you're a high achiever with a Diploma then the chances should both be equal. For example, I am doing Mechanical Engineering as a Diploma and I take Math Basic classes rather than Advanced Mathematics classes. If I get 90+% overall then my chances are equal to that of an advanced diploma into University.

In my point of view, there is no difference between diploma and associate's degree, since they,both last in two years. thanks Asad Abulle
The college degree is advanced study after completion of a high school diploma.
Post graduate diploma only can get after a undergraduate degree, while you can do diploma after your high school.

Diploma of Associate Engineering
An Associate in Liberal Arts diploma will have the name of the educational institution at the top. It will include the name of the graduate receiving the diploma. It will also contain the signature of the trustee or dean of the school.
Typically it is an associate degree (two year program of study). In some countries it may be referred to as a higher diploma or higher national diploma.
