Can the specialization be acquired through an acceptable combination of education, training and/or experience?
Yes. At the discretion of the manager, the specialization may be obtained through an acceptable combination of education, training and/or experience. When used, it must be specified on the Statement of Merit Criteria for transparency purposes. Whenever the specialization is met through an acceptable combination, it is met only for the position being staffed, and candidates must be re-assessed for future appointments and deployments where the manager has decided to allow the use of this combination.
