    to the attainment of the targets

    associated with the role or roles in

    question.

    Level 5

    Additional I

    A relevant and substantial (at least 6

    months) follow-up training to a

    completed Higher Vocational

    Education or University Education

    e.g.

    -management training

    -business training

    -communication training

    -management development training

    -consultant development track

    level 6

    additional II

    PhD and/or a completed postgraduate

    education (e.g. extra master

    degrees/postgraduate controller

    training)

    and/or teaching at

    master/postgraduate level and/or a

    demonstrable achievement at

    academic or postgraduate level

    (e.g. being the author of a book).

    Relevant and substantial postgraduate

    follow-up training is training of at least

    6 months, organised by acknowledged

    educational establishments.

    No substitutional work experience

    possible.

    Work experience will not be deemed to

    be a demonstrable achievement. Only

    books about relevant subjects qualify.

    No substitutional work experience

    possible.

    Note:

    The thinking and working levels are recorded. There is a correlation between the

    level of education, the working level and the brainpower. The field of study is

    irrelevant in describing the competency brainpower. What is relevant is the level of

    ones education. That is also why completing an education is less relevant than

    ones thinking level. Hence ones thinking and working level is also determined by

    the level on which one has worked for the past two years. The scale runs from Pre-

    vocational Secondary Education to PhD level.

    Note:

    The scope of development is recorded. The development scope is determined by linking

    the number of fields and areas of knowledge mastered (from one to many) to their

    integral/coherent application. This does not only imply that multiple fields and areas of

    knowledge can be combined, but also that new self-created and u nique fields and areas

    of knowledge originate by means of this combining. Professional fields and areas of

    knowledge can only be described in general terms, since they can vary per role or

    function. We will give a few examples. For sales representatives, knowledge of

    several sales methods does not imply mastering multiple areas of knowledge.

    For management consultants it is not about mastering two marketing methods,

    but about having knowledge of HRM, finance, marketing, operational control,

    organisation etc.

    effects of (inter) acting.

    Confidentiality of information relates to individuals and/or organisations. In the role of

    colleague, fellow team member, customer or supplier. The extent to which anothers

    the limit of freedom/space of the others and that of society as a whole.

    sustainability form positive aspects of integrity to pursue.
