That’s what I mean. We should give the individual a fast-tracked opportunity to prove that they can meet those standards instead of blanket rejection because they came from a school that did not.
For example, if I…at 48 years old…decided to return to University for a marketing degree, I have the opportunity to audit a number of my classes based on my own life experience. I can preemptively take the applicable tests to prove that I don’t need to take the class again. It’s a fast track based on the fact that I’ve spent the last 25 years of my life working at least tangentially in marketing, so that has to count for something.
There’s no reason that they can’t do a similar thing with skilled specialists who happen to come from so-called “sub-standard” schools. Test them and audit them on an individual basis rather than just telling them “too bad”.
The schools in Canada don’t set the accreditation standards. They have to meet it or they can’t hand out those certifications for here.
