The codes are given in the last column below on page 32 and in Appendix 5b on page 96. For persons who were educated outside Zambia, write the appropriate Zambian equivalent of the level reached.
[Examples are omitted here.]

The acquisition of an educational qualification, therefore, implies the successful completion of a course of study.
