Hi
I hope someone could help me with the following questions with regards to the points given in the education category.
I have a 3 yr university degree in Manufacturing Engineering , a 4 year apprenticeship in aircraft engineering and 18 yrs of study (11 at school, 4 for the apprenticeship and 3 for the degree).
My question is, what option do i pick from the list? The options seems to be either the 2 year degree and 14yrs study, giving 20 points, or, the 3 yr diploma and 15 yrs study giving 22 points.
Also, can anyone tell me why you get more points for the 3 yr diploma (e.g. Higher National Diploma) when it is a lower qualfication in the UK than a 3 yr degree?
Thanks
