**Any third level qualification including Diploma/Certificate, Primary Degree or Postgraduate/Higher Degree.
Furthermore, as the graduates in this study have successfully completed third-level qualifications in the host country, we can confidently assume that language difficulties are much less of a factor.
An overwhelming amount of that number (62 percent) have third-level qualifications, which clearly isn't a good sign for the country at large; the "brain drain" is likely to have further negative effects on the country, with people being educated at home before moving abroad to practice their skills elsewhere.
We also collected sociodemographic information such as age, sex, year of study, course duration, location of secondary school completion, and previous third-level qualifications.
The health, professional, and education sectors each have an average level of education of 7 (finished high school) and about one-third have tertiary level qualifications.
High educational qualifications are defined as ISCED categories 5-7, and include recognized third level education.
A third level, the college level, requires a full secondary education, usually ending at 18 but not necessarily with the same qualifications as are demanded of university entrants.
RNC began to offer its first Higher Education (or university level) qualification in January 2010 with the launch of the Certificate in Higher Education: Working with People with Visual Impairment Programme.
As a second level of model qualification, we tested the sensitivity of the system-specific parameters for both models (EPIC 1 and EPIC 2).
We analysed the impact of this status inconsistency on the LE of two groups characterized by high income (third tercile) and low educational level (lower secondary school), and by low income (first tercile) and high educational level (qualification for university entrance/completion of undergraduate studies), respectively.
According to the NCVO UK Civil Society Almanac there are an estimated 732,000 people employed in the voluntary sector of which more than a third hold a degree or higher level qualification; in the public sector this rises to 41%.
