TERTIARY LEVEL EDUCATION
Our Student Advisors are elated to assist with aligning your personality and ambitions to your career choice. We are partnering with Caribbean Examination Council to deliver a robust post secondary curriculum.
The Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) is designed to provide certification of the academic, vocational and technical achievement of students in the Caribbean who, having completed a minimum of five years of secondary education, wish to further their studies. The examinations address the skills and knowledge acquired by students under a flexible and articulated system where subjects are organized in one-Unit or two-Unit courses with each Unit containing three Modules. Subjects examined under CAPE may be studied simultaneously or individually.
The Caribbean Examinations Council offers three types of certification:
​
-
The first is the award of a certificate showing each CAPE Unit completed.
-
The second is the CAPE diploma, awarded to candidates who have satisfactorily completed at least six Units, including Caribbean Studies.
-
The third is the CAPE Associate Degree, awarded for the satisfactory completion of a prescribed cluster of ten CAPE Units including Caribbean Studies and Communication Studies.
​
N.B. For the CAPE diploma and the CAPE Associate Degree, candidates must complete the cluster of required Units within a maximum period of five years.
CXC examinations and certification are accepted regionally and internationally.
