Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the region with:
syllabuses of the highest quality; valid and reliable examinations and certificates of international repute for students of all ages, abilities and interests services to educational institutions in the development of syllabuses, examinations, and examination administration in the most cost-effective way.
FOREWORD
Foreword
The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), at its meeting in Antigua and Barbuda in December 2004, agreed to award Associate Degrees in response to the changing educational demands of the region. The Associate Degrees will be based on clusters of subjects taken by candidates for the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE). This award will enable persons to select for study, subjects that will meet specific requirements for work and for further education. In taking the decision to award Associate Degrees, the Council recognizes the need for close collaboration among institutions in the region to provide articulated programmes of study. This articulation is necessary in order to facilitate the transfer of credits and to increase opportunity for more persons to obtain tertiary education through collaborative and cost-effective strategies. The Council will, therefore, work closely with institutions in the region to identify equivalencies in programmes so that persons with CXC Associate Degrees will be at an advantage when entering other degree programmes. The Council looks forward to collaborating with its partners in the implementation of its Associate Degree programme.
Professor The Honourable Kenneth Hall O.J. Chairman, Caribbean Examinations Council

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The Caribbean Examinations Council will award Associate Degrees based on performance at Grades I to V in clusters of seven Units of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination. The clusters provide coherent programmes of study, typically over two years. The certification in Units for the Associate Degree may, however, be acquired over a maximum period of five years. The Associate Degree programme will begin in 2005 and it is anticipated that the first awards will be in 2006. In 2005, the Council will examine 44 Units which provide persons with a wide range of options.
Overall Objectives
To offer a qualification based on successful completion of a coherent programme of postsecondary education that allows for the acquisition of knowledge, skills and attitudes required for the workplace, for continuing tertiary level education, and for effective local, regional and global citizenship. To provide articulation with other degree and tertiary level programmes. To enable persons to obtain Associate Degrees through flexible arrangements. To indicate areas of focus for persons continuing education at the post-Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) level.
Content
Associate Degrees will be awarded in the following areas: Business Studies Computer Science Environmental Science General Studies Humanities Mathematics Modern Languages Natural Sciences Technical Studies
Details of the clusters for each Associate Degree are given in Section 2 and a brief description of each subject is given in Section 3. A detailed syllabus is also available from CXC for each subject. Subjects for CAPE are arranged as 1-Unit or 2-Unit courses. In the CAPE scheme, there are four 1-Unit core courses. Persons seeking to earn an Associate Degree must acquire the relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes identified in two of these core courses, namely, Caribbean Studies and Communication Studies. Most of the other subjects are offered as 2-Unit courses. Within several of the areas listed above, persons may opt for breadth of study by taking a combination of single Units from the available 1-Unit and 2-Unit courses. Alternatively, persons may opt for greater depth by taking both Units of several 2-Unit courses. Each Unit consists of three Modules and requires approximately 150 hours of work; this includes contact time and time spent on projects and other assignments. Seven Units, selected in accordance with specifications, must be completed for the award of each Associate Degree. Candidates may however opt to take additional (extra) Units if they so desire. Each Unit can be certified separately. A single certificate is provided for each examination sitting. This arrangement will facilitate persons who wish to accumulate Units to satisfy the Associate Degree requirements within a five-year period. A separate Associate Degree certificate is provided when persons satisfy the criteria.
Assessment
The assessment scheme used for measuring, recording and reporting candidates performance in CXC Associate Degrees has been designed to reflect two main curriculum principles, namely, that assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning, and that assessment significantly influences the way persons respond to courses and how they plan and conduct their studies. The assessment for each Unit effectively spans the three Modules and so encourages persons preparing to write the examinations to adopt a consistent approach while studying. The time and resources specified for completing the courses facilitate persons engagement in activities across classrooms, laboratories, libraries and the work place. Internal and external assessments are required for each Unit. The internal assessment is designed to assist students in acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes associated with the subject. Guidelines are provided in each syllabus for selecting appropriate tasks for internal assessment. This form of assessment provides opportunities for persons to individualize parts of the curriculum to meet their needs. This could contribute to the building of the self-confidence of persons as they proceed with their studies. Internal assessment, therefore, makes a significant and unique contribution to the development of relevant skills, and the assessing and rewarding of persons for the development of these skills. The internal assessment also provides valuable opportunity for reinforcement and application of generic skills, for example, skills of communication, analysis, synthesis and problem-solving. Examples of internal assessment are short assignments, portfolios, class tests, research, extended essays, projects, laboratory activities and the production of other creative pieces of work. For most Units, some of the marks awarded in the internal assessment component are for communicating information in a logical way using correct grammar. The external assessment usually comprises two written papers. Details on the assessment of each Unit are given in Section 4.
Quality Assurance
The CAPE syllabuses are developed by subject panels comprising curriculum development, measurement and content specialists drawn from practising teachers, university lecturers and other professionals from across the region. Draft syllabuses prepared by these panels are widely circulated for comment from teachers and other resource persons before they are finalized and approved by the Council. Examinations for each subject are developed by an Examining Committee comprising a Chief Examiner and an Assistant Chief Examiner. Each Committee is guided by a CXC Measurement and Evaluation Officer. For each subject there is an external moderator who verifies the accuracy of content, and the quality and demands of the examination papers. The Examining Committee is responsible for quality control during the marking of scripts, and for grading the work of candidates in accordance with CXC policy guidelines. An independent Technical Advisory Committee oversees the grading processes and advises a Final Awards Committee on the award of grades. CXC has developed an extensive network of educators and resource persons across the region. Through this network, it is able to obtain feedback which informs timely modifications to ensure high standards and relevance of syllabuses and validity and reliability of examinations.
Credits and Grade Points

Credits
The 150 hours required for the completion of each Unit is equivalent to 10 credits. The cluster of seven Units is, therefore, equivalent to 70 credits which are within the requirements of 60-70 credits for an Associate Degree. This requirement is stipulated in the second edition of the Procedures and Guidelines for the Regional Mechanism for Accreditation, Equivalency and Articulation (May 2000) compiled by the Tertiary Level Institutions Unit of the University of the West Indies and published by the Association of Caribbean Tertiary Institutions (ACTI). The ACTI publication equates six CAPE Units to at least 60 credits in its Revised Qualification Framework.
Grade Points
The grades awarded by CXC can be equated to Grade Points as shown in the table below.

These syllabuses give persons a deeper understanding of themselves as members of a wider Caribbean community which is multi-lingual and multi-cultural, and of their place in a global setting. The syllabuses emphasise the development of the four language skills of listening, responding, reading and writing, and the acquisition of knowledge of Francophone and Hispanic cultures through the study of selected topics and contemporary writings of relevance to Caribbean society. While the topics have been selected to provide knowledge and understanding of issues pertinent to Caribbean people in a global context, the emphasis is on language competence rather than on content knowledge. The objectives and approaches that guide the teaching and define the assessment have been designed to equip persons to meet the needs and evolving circumstances of Caribbean society and to function appropriately in the wider world.
Geography
This syllabus provides for development of geographical understanding and the ability to appreciate how physical and human forces interact to give identity to places and to create recognisable spatial patterns. It facilitates understanding of the causal relationships at different geographic scales local, regional and global. In addition, it contributes to an understanding of the central issues emerging from human exploitation of natural resources. It seeks to prepare persons for the increasing number of work situations in which integrative and graphical skills are important.
