(ii.) A candidate who has passed the examination for Class C, and obtained a Class C certificate, shall be entitled to promotion to Class B on passing such further examination as will enable him to fulfil the following set of conditions—namely, that with both examinations taken together he (a) shall have satisfied the requirements in not less than six of the subjects of Groups III to VI of the examination for Class C, of which one shall be either Pure Mathematics or one of the languages Greek, Latin, French, German; and (b) shall have become entitled to certificates of proficiency of the University of New Zealand, or obtained passes, in not less than three of the subjects prescribed for the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree (Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics being for this purpose reckoned separately), or in lieu thereof shall have satisfied the pass requirements of such degree subjects of the University, not being less than three, as shall, in the judgment of the Inspector-General of Schools, be deemed a fair equivalent therefor in their combined weight or otherwise.

(iii.) The holder of a Class C certificate who at any time, with a view to final promotion to Class B, produces evidence of having satisfied the University requirements in any of the degree subjects accepted under the foregoing subclause shall, on making due application to the Inspector-General of Schools, be entitled to have a record of his success endorsed upon his certificate.

10. The examination requirements for Class A shall be the same as for Class B, with the addition of such success at an honours examination of the University of New Zealand as is required for first-class or second-class honours, but with no limit as to the time of passing such honours examination.

The evidence of age submitted shall, if possible, be a Registrar’s certificate of birth.

A certificate shall not be granted except after examination held in accordance with these regulations, or after proof of the passing of an equivalent examination held by some sufficient public authority; provided that a partially equivalent examination may be recognised pro tanto, and supplemented by such further examination as may be deemed necessary by the Inspector-General of Schools, who shall be the judge of the value to be assigned to examinations proposed for acceptance as equivalent or partially equivalent.
