Canada
In Canada credits can be earned at the end of a course in high school, earning a credit depends whether a person passes the course or not. A certain number of credits are required to graduate high school. The system is similar to the one used in the United States. In Canada the term college often refers to a community college or trade school, whilst the more formal and inclusive term for post-high school education is university.
