For Perpetuity Training courses, the following explains learner ability requirements for each level. We use the phrase ‘equivalent working level’ to mean that the learner is not achieving for example, a Master’s Degree,  but is working at the same level and meeting the same learner requirements as that of  a Masters Student.

Framework
