Summary of Q&A #71 (BKN)

Pharmacy graduate promotion (to rank 4A with functional position)

  • A BKN Friend (pharmacy bachelor, graduated 2022; group 3D) asks whether they can be promoted to rank 4A while holding a functional position.
  • The response explains that 4A is equivalent to the “JF middle” level (mid-level functional expert), while the current highest supervisory level for BKN Friends is 3D.
  • To reach 4A, BKN Friends are advised to:
    • take a competency test and/or expertise training to move up to JF middle, and
    • check whether the JF level has specific education requirements for certain positions/fields.

Nurse promotion from 4C to 4D

  • A nurse in Madia 4C asks if they can still be promoted to 4D.
  • The answer states that to advance to 4D, they must progress to the main expert level first, because the highest “CF middle” rank is 3C, unless the nurse reaches main expert status.

Clarification on using the “latest SE” for including titles

  • A participant asks to ensure the rule uses the latest SE, not specifically SE Number 15 of 2024, noting that some regions still apply the older SE.
  • The presenter confirms that title inclusion follows the latest regulation, specifically via Circular Letter (SE) of the Head of BKN No. 3 of 2025.
  • This SE applies to all agencies without exception, including regional agencies.

Requirement to join UKOM for promotion (Satpol PP group 2A → 3A)

  • A question is raised: for JF Satpol PP class 2A with a Bachelor’s degree, is UKOM required to be promoted to 3A?
  • The reply states that if the person is already in 2A and holds a Bachelor’s degree, promotion to 3A can be done using a pathway such as:
    • diploma adjustment / KPPI
  • After passing KPPI, the candidate can be proposed for promotion to 3A based on their current position.
  • Once promoted to 3A, they take the competency test for the appropriate Satpol PP expert/advanced level according to available formation.

Why DMS document uploads take long—can approval be delegated to agencies?

  • A participant complains that approval for DMS documents (especially for position, education, and class components) takes too long and asks why approval can’t be delegated to each agency.
  • The presenter explains:
    • DMS approval in the digital cabinet is submitted through the agency’s admin verifier, so users don’t need to wait for BKN verification first.
    • BKN sets a maximum service standard of 4 days per ASN service.
  • If there are DMS issues, participants can contact their agency’s HR unit directly rather than waiting for BKN.
