Salary Classification
Each province or jurisdiction is responsible for determining the criteria for certification and salary classification.
In Manitoba there are presently seven levels of salary classification (Class 1-7). In general, each classification represents a year of university studies beyond Manitoba Grade 12, or its equivalent. However, there are some restrictions on the type of studies accepted for classification. For example, courses must be taken within a degree program and the degree must be conferred in order to be considered for salary classification purposes. In other words, 5 courses taken at various universities, and in different programs, would not be credited towards your salary classification.
Information is available in the Handbook and if you require further information contact the Professional Certification Unit.
