Education/training on your CV

This section should include information on schools, colleges or universities you have attended and qualifications gained.

  • All fields marked with an asterisk must be entered for each school, college or university you enter. 
  • You should list the most recent school/college/university first.
  • You must enter a minimum of one school, college or university in this section but there is no need to go as far back as primary school. 
  • Think about the relevance of this information to the employer.

If you have recently left school it is important to list your school qualifications in detail.

If you left school a number of years ago you should summarise your school qualifications and highlight more recent and relevant qualifications and training gained with past or present employers.
