Could the manager accept an alternative to education when requesting higher than the minimum secondary school diploma when staffing positions classified as FB?
Yes. At the managers discretion, an employer-approved alternative could be accepted for the higher level of education as long as it is comparable to the educational level required. This means that the candidate has acquired comparable skills as someone who has completed the required level of education. It is the manager who determines whether an alternative will be accepted and defines what is comparable to the educational level requested. The use of the alternative must be specified on the Statement of Merit Criteria for transparency purposes.
