Actually, it says that you will be qualified (i.e. they'll give you the qualification as part of your training), technical quirk there, but important. :)

The lowest salary is $130,000. Figure in the two additional 35% (70%) and you get a low base of $221,000/year! Hmmmm, temptation....But I need to retire first and can't do that until December.
