Can a manager choose either one of the 2 minimum educational standards without distinction?
No. The manager must choose the minimum educational standard that corresponds to the EC stream of work for the position being staffed (see FAQ # 4). However, there may be circumstances when the manager may determine that it is necessary to raise the minimum educational requirement based on the duties of the position being staffed.
