Eligibility - Postgraduate ADF Members
Proving Your Eligibility:
How can I determine my eligibility for advanced standing?
There are two Pathways:
Pathway 1 (Up to December 2005)
- I have satisfied the requirements for the award of an Army, Navy or Air Force Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate (up to December 2005), or
Pathway 2 (from January 2006)
- I have completed the current course or courses which would qualify for the Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate (if still available), or
- I have completed a mixture of old and new courses which equates to the requirements. For example, an Army officer may have completed the old Intermediate Staff Course and the new Grade 2 Course, rather than the old Intermediate Staff Course and the Intermediate Operations Course or the new Grade 3 Course and Grade 2 course.
