CAPE® Units are typically assessed as shown in the Assessment Model. However, institutions offering
the CXC®-AD should be guided by the Outline for Assessment and the Regulations for Resit which are
specified in the respective CAPE® Syllabuses when developing their Assessment Policies and Quality
Management Systems.

Programme Evaluation

The Caribbean Examinations Council® utilises a data driven model to evaluate its offerings. This
includes the collection of feedback from all stakeholder groups to include students, parents, teachers
and employers on the offering being evaluated. Institutions are encouraged to participate in this
process as the feedback provided is crucial to the revision of the respective syllabuses and the
CXC®-AD. Institutions are also encouraged to evaluate offerings of the CXC-AD® through surveys and
tracer studies, and to share the collective views with the CXC® team.
