No grade 10?no luck?

[ccownsu]

Just curious, but lets say you were a real knucklehead in highschool and dropped out before completing grade 10, but later on in life you went to a Career college as a mature student and graduated? From the forms I have, it doesn't seem to have any exceptions, but I mean I'm almost 30 years old, have worked for the government of Canada ( they accepted my college diploma) and worked in the high tech sector for 4 years straight until I was laid off in this spring. In my mind I clearly have the necessary skills to be equivalent to a grade 10 education. Also I do have my grade 10 Math, I took that at night school years ago, in all I prob have like 10 credits or something.

Anyways any recruiters on here know if there is EVER an exception made in this area?

Also whats the point of the CFAT if not to determine if you are intelligent enough to qualify for the CF.

Your best bet is to call up a recruiting centre and ask.

cheers.

You are asked on the forms to enter the highest level of education that you have achieved.  In your case you have a College Degree.  Everyone still has to do the CFAT.  You should have no problems.  See the Recruiters and I am sure that this is the answer that they will pass on to you also.

Yes, the CFAT determines if you are intelligent enough to join the CF.  I cannot give you any specifics, but what I can say is that no questions depend on the applicant's specific formal education.
If you are smart enough, you can pass regardless of your schooling.  Do not worry about it.
