An associate degree and a diploma are not exactly the same; they are both post-secondary qualifications but differ in the level of education and duration of study. An associate degree usually takes two years to complete and is considered higher than a diploma, which can typically be earned in a shorter period. References: 1. "Types of different qualifications," from Study in New Zealand, under the section "Diplomas and certificates" (https://www.studyinnewzealand.govt.nz...). 2. "What is an Associate’s Degree?" from Northeastern University, under the section "How Long Does It Take To Get An Associate’s Degree?" (https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate...).
