Skill level ratings are based on the range and complexity of job tasks. In general, the higher the skill level, the more formal education and training, previous experience or on-the-job training needed to be good at the job. Entry level jobs often need no prior training or experience. Possible ratings are
- Very high skill – 5+ years training or experience, or a Bachelor Degree or higher
- High skill – 3+ years training or experience, or an Associate Degree or Diploma
- Medium skill – 3+ years training or experience, or a Certificate III/IV
- Lower skill – 1+ year of experience, or a Certificate II/III
- Entry level – High School or Certificate I
