Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ)
 

The Caribbean Vocational Qualification or CVQ as it is commonly called, is based on a competency based approach to training, assessment and certification.

 

Candidates are expected to demonstrate competence in attaining occupational standards developed by practitioners, industry experts and employers. Those standards when approved by CARICOM allow for easy movement across the Region. Currently, CVQs are planned to reflect a Qualification framework of five levels. These are:

 

Level 1 (Directly Supervised/Entry –Level Worker) to Level 5 (Managerial and/or Professional Worker)

​

CVQs are awarded to those candidates who would have met the required standards in all of the prescribed units of competence.

​

CVQs are currently offered in horticulture, Food Preparation and Business related subjects.  Coming soon will be Customer Service and Photography/Graphic Design.
