1. Highest Level of Qualification

• Select your highest level of qualification. Most employers consider higher education degrees, such as a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD, to be relevant.

• College diplomas or equivalent qualifications may also be relevant. Please choose the highest level you can provide.

• If you are unsure, check with your employer.

• If you do not have a relevant degree, you may select "I do not have a relevant academic qualification" from the dropdown. Please specify a reason in the following section.

2. Dates of Study

• Enter the start date and the most recent date you were enrolled at the institution.
