Implicit subject group

An implicit subject group is one where the subject description entered in the teaching qualification contains the wildcards '?' or '*'.

The wildcard '?' replaces an individual character while '*' stands for any character string. 'GE?', for example, could stand for GER (German) as well as for GEO (Geography) but not for the subject GRK (Greek). In contrast, "G*" would refer to all three subjects.
