Hello everyone!

Just in the process of exploring the immigration process to get into Canada, and have stumbled upon a question which I hope someone can help me with...

When doing the self assessment test, the education section lists the various options... and this is where I'm stuck.

I have completed 14 years of full time education and have 4 UK A-Levels. I have also done 2 full years at University, but without a receiving a degree.

The last 2 of those 14 years were spent carrying out the A-Levels, which we would call "further education" but is this classed as secondary education for the purpose of the forms? Or would it be counted as "Obtained a two-year diploma, trade certificate or apprenticeship and completed at least 14 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies"

Thanks for any info in advance you may have, please no replies from any unhelpful sources (I think most of you know who I mean... I don't want to be part of her cause...)

You obviously have completed only a secondary education (high school).
Sorry, but you'll get only 5 points for education.

Thanks for your reply Andrew )

Do you know if having Microsoft qualifications would count as a trade certificate? Otherwise it's off to do a diploma for me!

Keep up the good work, don't let the trolls get you down ;o)

MCSE and the likes don't count for too much sorry.

I know its not what you needed to hear.

Cheers Robert,

I'm open to all answers really, so looks like I'm going to choose a one yrs Bsc or Diploma in the IT field that I can breeze through whilst continuing to work at the same time.

Sorry Mike. Microsoft, Cisco and other industry certifications are not
education credentials at all and the don't count. Please see here for the
definition of educational credential:
