Context Sensitive Help:

High school diploma or equivalency certificate:
High school diploma or equivalency certificate includes persons who have completed the requirements for graduation from a secondary school or the equivalent. Examples of secondary high school equivalency certificates are General Educational Development (GED) and Adult Basic Education (ABE).

Trades or vocational certificate or diploma:
A trade-vocational school is a public educational institution that offers courses to prepare people for employment in a specific occupation such as a heavy equipment operator, automotive mechanic or upholstering. Many community colleges or technical institutes offer certificates or diplomas at the trades level. This term is used to classify skill courses that prepare trainees for occupations not at the professional or semi-professional levels.

Certificate of Apprenticeship or Certificate of Qualification (Journeyperson's designation):
A program that combines on-the-job training, by observation and practice, with short periods of related in-class technical training to produce a fully qualified journeyman tradesperson. The employer undertakes, by contract, to employ and train an apprentice under the supervision of a qualified journeyman. To become a registered apprentice there is a formal registration process with a provincial Ministry or Department, e.g., journeyman certificate in cooking, masonry, finishing carpentry, plumbing.

CEGEP certificate or diploma:
These are usually offered after one to four years of study. Note: CEGEP is the acronym for "Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel" in the province of Quebec.

College or other non-university certificate or diploma:
Postsecondary schools which include the equivalent of community colleges from other provinces. Note: Some institutions award both university and college-level certificates and diplomas.

University certificate or diploma below a bachelor's degree:
University certificates are usually 1 year programs and are offered in most fields of study. This category applies when a teaching certificate is awarded by a provincial Department of Education at an approved institution such as normal school or college of education. Include certificates or diplomas awarded by a professional association if the courses were taken at a university but a bachelor's degree was not a prerequisite. In Quebec, the "certificats/diplômes de premier cycle" belong here.

Bachelor's degree:
A "Bachelor's" or "undergraduate degree" is usually the first degree conferred by a college or a university. Include Honours bachelor degrees.

University certificate or diploma above a bachelor's degree:
This refers to the possession of a university certificate or diploma above the bachelor level, regardless of whether other educational qualifications are held or not. Normally, this type of certificate is obtained following a first degree in the same field of study. Examples such as certificates can be found in medical specializations, applied engineering, high technology or courses where a bachelor's degree was a prerequisite. In Quebec, the "diplômes d'études supérieures" and the "diplômes d'études de deuxième cycle" belong here.

Degree in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or optometry:
This degree may be taken part way through or after a university bachelor's degree and it applies to medicine (M.D.), dentistry (D.D.S., D.M.D.), veterinary medicine (D.V.M.) or optometry (O.D.) taken at a university.

Master's degree:
An academic degree that is higher than a bachelor's but lower than a doctorate. It generally takes one to two years to complete a "Master's" degree after receiving a Bachelor's degree.

Earned doctorate:
A degree that entitles someone to use the title or rank of a doctor. This degree can be obtained in any major field of study and usually takes a minimum of three years to complete after receiving a Master's degree. Exclude "Honorary" doctorates awarded as an honour to important persons.
