This is a multi-tick question asking the person to identify all
qualifications obtained. In England and Wales, there is a separate question
which records teaching, nursing, medical and dental professional qualifications.
These are described in a separate variable. See Qualifications, Professional
(PQU(x)PEW). Respondents are asked to tick all boxes that apply.
During
processing, the answers to the tick boxes are held in a compound field
consisting of 0s and 1s. In order to produce a 'count' of qualifications held,
separate variables are provided on the final output database for each
qualification group represented by each tick box.
Different questions are
asked in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to reflect local
requirements.
See also the derived variable - Highest Level
Qualifications, (HLQPUK).
Applicability:All people aged 16 to 74 years,
