  9. The Vocational stream CVQ

  10. After the lower form the vocational students proceed to the vocational stream, called CVQ • CVQ stands for Caribbean Vocational Qualification Vocational stream CVQ CCSLC, form 3 AGE 15 Lower form – CCSLC CCSLC, form 2 CCSLC, form 1 Primary school

To graduate, students must finish a number of modules • They can finish the modules in their own pace • Students on average finish CVQ at the age of 17. Vocational stream CVQ 1 and 2 2 years CCSLC, form 3 Lower form – CCSLC CCSLC, form 2 3 years CCSLC, form 1 Primary school

  12. Students who finish CVQ 2 at the GvP school can choose from 4 possibilities:

  13. 1. Enter the labour market After completing CVQ 2 students will have all the necessary skills to become an unsupervised worker, who can start his own business Labour market Vocational stream CVQ 2 years CCSLC, form 3 Lower form – CCSLC CCSLC, form 2 3 years CCSLC, form 1 Primary school

  14. 2. Proceed with CVQ 3 in St. Maarten or elsewhere in the Caribbean region. CVQ 3 Vocational stream CVQ 2 years Age 17 CCSLC, form 3 Lower form – CCSLC CCSLC, form 2 3 years CCSLC, form 1 Primary school

  15. 3. Complete the Academic CSEC stream at the GvP schoolIn the CVQ system students can choose to do their strong subjects on a CSEC level.
