ORGANISATION AND
LAYOUT OF THE HANDBOOK

The Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ*)1 Handbook published by the CXC® is
a step by step approach for the implementation of Caribbean Examinations Council
CVQ* programmes within secondary schools. The handbook also provides supporting
information on the instructional, quality assurance and certification model.

Within the handbook the process is divided into four main action categories which are
further broken down into critical activities. They are as follows:
1. Before you start, which has seven critical activities;
2. Ready to start, which has two critical activities;
3. Start, which has three critical activities; and,
4. Certification, which has three critical activities.

You will find a pictorial representation of each action category in this section. These are
further explained for you within the handbook.

BEFORE YOU START

This section provides details on all the preparatory activities in which a territory must
