  can we have a rundown on the significant educational achievements given the devastating news that Alice is not going to do a degree in leisure with a special interest in horse and stable management thus equipping her to take over Shulas business when the time comes

  People not born and brought up in Ambridge tend to do significantly better than those who are, Ge0rd1e.
  
  Alan: theological training, accountancy qualification
  
  Alistair: vet
  
  Assorted other vicars, doctors and vets
  
  Mark Hebden, solicitor
  
  Usha - ditto
  
  Kathy Perks, was a domestic science teacher so probably a graduate - just possibly she is old enough to have a diploma or certificate instead
  
  Elizabeth - did she get any A levels? Plus some sort of marketing certificate
  
  Nigel - nothing higher than A levels, to my knowledge
  
  David - agricultural qualification, not a degree
  
  Ruth - ditto
  
  Phil - ditto
  
  John - ditto
  
  Tom - ditto, but not at as high a level as the three above
  
  Helen - ditto, but for cheesemaking and dairy work
  
  Shula - qualified as a Land Agent or possibly chartered surveyor, and then as a riding school instructor
  
  Jennifer - teacher training certificate
  Brian - ?
  
  Debbie - dropped out in the second year of a French degree at Exeter, has no other formal qualifications at all
  
  Roy - degree in Rota Management from Felpersham University
  
  Brenda - aimimg for honours degree in Sausage Marketing with Bacon and Beefburger Marketing subsidiaries, from same
  
  Hayley - qualified nursery nurse
  
  Amy Franks - aiming to qualify as a midwife
  
  Fallon - some sort of music qualification, below degree level
  
  Ian - qualified chef
  
  Adam - the academic star of Ambridge - degree from Newcastle in Agricultural Economics
  
  Matt - Ph.D. from the university of life
  
  Everyone else - nothing at all above A level and most well below
  
  Any corrections/additions?
  
  Alice will be breaking the mould for an Archer if she achieves her ambitions. I for one will not be responsible for my actions if she is allowed to change her mind and languishes in Ambridge for the rest of her life instead.

  Caroline went to finishing school and got an NVQ in getting out of a sports car without showing your knickers whilst balancing a book on your head and eating with the correct knife and fork.

  Caroline went to finishing school  
  Surely Caroline had some sort of qualification in cordon bleu cookery when she first pitched up in Ambridge. Didn't she answer an advert for a bar-maid at The Bull, and start revolutionising the catering arrangements?

  After Alice gets her Engineering degree she must go and work in the US or China. Then she'll come back to Ambridge and work for a Smart Materials start up in that new Science Park just off the Borchester by-pass.

  Phil - ditto 
  
  I think Phil was actually an agricultural engineer wasn't he?
  
  And of course we mustn't forget John tregorran who was actually a university teacher until he won the pools and dropped out so he must have had at least one degree.
  
  I'd be suprised if Nigel even got as far as Sats.

  ... and I also read the other night in "25 Years of the Archers" (bought from Abebooks on recommendation of this esteeemed forum) that Tony went to some college or other and came back with all sorts of newfangled ideas. Don't know whether was given any formal qualification.
