What is meant by “an acceptable combination of education, training and/or experience that is comparable to the minimum education standard…”?
The wording of the alternative phrase included in the EC Qualification Standard requires that the alternative accepted by a manager must result in the same outcome as would the required minimum. Essentially it means that the candidate has acquired comparable skills, through education, training and/or experience, as someone who has completed 2 years of a post-secondary school program. It is the manager who determines whether a specific combination of education, training and/or experience is comparable to the minimum education or the specialization but he/she should be able to substantiate the decision if necessary.
