Number of years of education completed (age 5 and beyond).
For years completed, after the age of 5, code the number of years attained (0-30 years), normed to someone moving full time at the usual pace, i.e. a year that was repeated counts as only 1 year and the usual single-year full-time load completed over several years counts as 1 year. Certificate and technical programs do NOT count no matter how specialized. The number of years of typical completion of the relevant program is counted. If the subject obtained their education outside the United States, ask about their educational system to estimate the correct coding - Internship, Residency, and Fellowship years are experiential training and do not count.
