Interviewer instructions
Section 3: Education and training
[Education questions for persons age 4 and older. Training questions for persons age 14 and older]

You will need to pay close attention to the instructions for this section, which combines questions on education and training. Questions 3.1 and 3.2 relate to education and should be asked of all persons age 4 and older. Questions 3.3 through 3.13 relate to training and are applicable to persons age 14 and older. Questions 3.3 through 3.7 relate to current training, while questions 3.8 through 3.13 relate to past training.



[Persons age 14 and older. These questions relate to training, intended specifically to fit an individual for a specific job or occupation. Training means that the person has acquired a skill or will acquire a skill which equips him/her for a particular job. Where an individual indicates that he/she has received training for more than one job, use the one that he/she regards as the main one (for whatever reason)]

[You will notice that some of the questions are repeated. Questions 3.3 through 3.7 are to be asked of persons who are currently being trained, while questions 3.8 through 3.13 relate to part training only. Follow the skip instructions carefully to allow you to ask the relevant questions]
