Security Clearance is not obtained by examination.
Security Clearance
If a position requires you to have regular access to sensitive information and assets, you will require a security clearance. This essentially involves a background check.
Individuals working in Defence Science are subject to a higher security designation of what is generally required across the federal government due to the nature of their work.
What's involved
Security checks involve the verification of personal, educational and employment data as well as references, criminal records, fingerprint and credit checks.
Higher level security clearances include an assessment of reliability with former employers and references, as well as field investigations. Personal background checks cover a period of 10 years prior to the time of the application (or as far back as the applicant's 16th birthday, whichever comes first).
In the course of their duties, security screening investigators may talk to your friends, neighbours and former employers. Participation in these interviews is voluntary.
