Students are expected to demonstrate competence in attaining occupational standards developed by practitioners, industry experts and employers.<\/p>\n<p>It prepares students for employment and provides an alternative route to further or higher education.<\/p>\n<p>CVQ is recognized in CARICOM and the rest of the world and will ensure that students are able to perform in the workplace.
