Let me start a new post here instead of asking this question in someone else post. I did 3 years of high school in my country. However, in my country they let you choose three types of high school because it is called Vocational High School. So you can pick Engineering Technician, Accounting Technician or General high school. All of them will give you a high school diploma. I picked the High School in Accounting Technician. I received my transcript and my diploma stating I finish high school with a diploma in Accounting Technician. Can this also be considered a 3 year trade/apprenticeship or just high school(secondary education)? If I claim it, it will give more points(22) than a 4-year college degree(20). How can a 3 years of trade/apprenticeship in high school give me more points than a 4-year college degree?

Thanks.

Well this is the breakdown:

Primary education= 1980 to 1987= total of 8 years
Secondary Education(high School)= 1988 to 1990= Total of 3 years (The 3 years of Accounting Technician was already included in the total years of high School because it was a vocational high school. I was taking classes in general high school, plus some classes in accounting.
College Degree: Bachelor= 4 years.

Thanks.

It says: ...The " name of school" High School

Certifies the "my name" has received this diploma in completion of the course of Accounting Technician.


Thanks.
