Application help

Hi all,

/stupid question/

I am currently filling in a job application online and there is one section that isn't sitting right with me.

Normally on an application you list GCSEs, Alevels etc however this app says:

Please provide details of all examination passes, qualifications obtained etc since the age of 16 starting with the most recent first. Where you have had breaks in your education history, please provide these details in the Breaks in Employment/Education section of this form.

Now, I read that as anything after obtaining GCSE's however the wife thinks it should include GCSEs. I am not sure if it's the wording or whether I haven't slept properly in days but I just can't decide.

What do you think?

I would include them.

No harm in including them, you only need to list something like "5 GCSE's A to C including Maths, English and Science" or something along those lines.

Include them, unless you have a degree and masters or PHD and years of experience.

Thanks, I had already entered them as well as the couple of NVQ's I have but just needed a bit of reassurance it was needed.

I left my A-levels 2 months before I took the final exams due to my dad being an absolutely suicidal mental case and I needed to look after him. My educational history looks a little bland and I really would like this job

Thanks all
