I just got my ITA for CEC and am working on my application. I have got Educational Credential Assessments (from WES) already for my PhD and that is the only education that I claimed CRS points for. My confusion is the Study and Languages section has asked for my Education History, high school and higher. I did my education in the UK and our education systems don't align well. As brief background during high school we complete GCSEs (ages 11-16), then A Levels (sometimes in a different school or college, ages 16-18), then we go to university. I have an extra issue in that my high school is no longer issuing transcripts/certificates because I graduated so long ago. Do I include:
1. just assessed education I claimed points for (PhD)
2. just higher education (bachelors and PhD)
3. all post-secondary education (A Levels, bachelors and PhD)
a. in this case, are A Levels counted separately (e.g. 4 qualifications for 4 topics studied) or as one entry (1 qualification for 4 topics)
b. are A Levels counted as school or college education? North America and Europe define "college" differently
4. all secondary and above education (GCSEs, A Levels, bachelors and PhD)
a. again, do I class GCSEs as 10 separate qualifications or 1?
b. Would I combine GCSE and A Level together in to one 7 year education qualification, or keep them separate?
