I was a little unsure on that question as well since I did most of my post secondary part time, but only have just over 60 credits completed, which would equal 2 years full time. So I put down 14 years total. If I put how many years I've been in school it would be closer to 20.

Put done how long it was supposed to take you. 12 years ordinarily for elementary and high school; 3 or 4 years for university undergrad; 3 years for law school; etc. For Master's and PhD's, you can put how long it actually took.
If you failed grade 10, for example, but eventually graduated from high school, you would still only put 12 years. If it took you 10 years to get a 4-year B.A., put 16 (12 elementary and high school + 4 university), not 22.

It is not counted together for school and University.
You can add that as a course of diploma or certificate, what ever it is.
