What is meant by “an acceptable combination of education, training and/or experience that is comparable with a university degree…”?
The wording of the alternative phrase included in the PE Qualification Standard requires that the alternative accepted by a manager must result in the same outcome as would university graduation. Essentially, it means that the candidate has acquired comparable skills, through education, training and/or experience, as someone who has completed a university degree. The types of qualifications attained through university graduation would typically include researching, analyzing and providing solutions for complex problems/issues, writing papers or reports, defending points of view, etc. It is the manager who determines whether a specific combination of education, training and/or experience is comparable to a university degree.
