Question 26: Years of schooling (other)
Include schooling in all institutions other than university, secondary or elementary schools - including non-university teachers' colleges, or police colleges - whether or not a high school diploma was required for entrance.
Do not include any courses taken for leisure, recreation or personal interest.
Indicate the number of academic years successfully completed, regardless of the length of time it may have taken. For persons who received non-university training by correspondence, or attended classes part time during the day or evening, convert their accumulated credits to the equivalent number of years in a full-time regular program.
CEGEP (general) or pre-university courses and CEGEP (professional) or career-terminal technical-vocational courses are postsecondary programs in the province of Quebec and are similar to community college programs in other provinces.
For persons who studied in the classical colleges of Quebec, consider Belles-Lettres and Rhétorique first and second year equivalents to other non-university training.
