here is a quote from the self assessment test from the canadian website.


Obtained a one-year diploma, trade certificate or apprenticeship and completed at least 13 years of full-time or full-time equivalent studies

this equals to 15points whereas if only 12 years of full time study, this gets 12 points only.
i hope it helps.
