to a level above standard.


Explanation:
Bit of a tough one since we (well in the U.K. anyway) operate on a letter grading system not the 1-5 Russian one

Explanation:
assuming «хорошо» a U.S. grade of "C"', оr 2.0 average. (4.0 = A; 3.0 =B; 2.0 = C; 1.0 = D, or 0.0 = F) This should be fun.

The grade point average explanation is incorrect in this case as Oxana has pointed out. The case in point relates to one score or grade to evaluate a given body of knowledge. I would therefore translate it as:
"The candidate must score satisfactory (average - I leave that discussion open) or above...on this body of knowledge."

neutral  Oxana Snyder: C is "satisfactory", and B is Good, so it should be 3.00 here. Moreover GPA is calculated based on all subjects and credits taken within a semester or throughout whole studies. I am not sure it is the case here. It might be simply one class/ subject.

at a level rated not below


Explanation:
The trainee should have a knowledge of the provisions of the documents at a level rated not below "good" [(on a scale of poor, adequate, satisfactory, good, and excellent)].

The question arises: Assuming that "satisfactory plus" is below good, Is "good minus" also below good?

Asker's comment to my answer is incorrect, in my opinion as a professional who has a substantial practice in evaluation matters. My note immediately preceding is the key to why "at a level rated not below good" is the correct answer and the other answers are either incorrect or irrelevant to the context

Asker: Thank you, but I don't think that this variant will be rightly understood by the English speaking people.

Asker: by those who don't know our grading system

Asker: Thank you for your opinion and 'a knowledge' shown of you.

agree  Anna Fominykh: not below "good" - would work for an American reader and closer to the original than the other translation
