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 :o)

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:
