Post grad certificates, what counts?

[Scruffyclarissa]

Does anyone know if there is a general rule or a list of what counts? Husband and I could both do with being able to tick the 'two or more' option and are not sure if what we have/could get would be counted.
Thanks

Very generic question. Please read ECA-related information at:

Thanks, I had looked, and not found any info like that. I'd also searched on here so as not to annoy.
Sorry for asking a silly question.

No question is silly I was saying your question is too general - is there something more specific you want to know about educational certificates or qualifications, ask away

Oh good, I was worried I'd committed some newbie faux pas.

I have a CIM (charted institute of marketing) advanced certificate in marketing which does seem to exist any more. I'm thinking it needs to be something that was a year of full time study though, which this was nothing like. An old OU link gives it 55 credits which equals 550 hours of study.

My husband is being a bit too optimistic, looking at Google partners Adwords and analytics certification. I don't think that'll be worth anything.

I don't imagine anyone will have any specific thoughts on these, it's a bit too niche!

Usually if you have a Bachelor's followed by a Master's and/or PhD, then you get points for these and you can indicate the "two or more certificates".

In terms of the programs you have mentioned - you could try and get them certified, but I don't think you get points for these type of certifications unless they are towards acquiring trade skills from recognized institutes. Further, the organization you pick to do your ECA needs to receive the original score card/transcript/certificate from the institute that you studied at. I, personally, don't think these certificates will give either of you any points unless they fall under a "Diploma" or "Post-graduate Diploma" category.

Please wait for responses from others as well. Cheers & good luck!
