Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE)

CAPE is designed to provide standardized secondary certification for students in the Caribbean islands who, having completed a minimum of five years of secondary education, wish to further their studies. Equivalent to the British Advanced level, CXC's CAPE replaced A-levels in 1998 (see A-Level table).

The subjects are organized in 1- or 2-unit courses with each unit containing three modules. The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) awards a CAPE diploma to candidates who have satisfactorily completed at least six units. It also awards the CAPE Associate Degree for students who continue on to complete a prescribed cluster of ten CAPE Units. 

Transfer credit may be granted for units with grades I, II or III, for Andrews equivalents listed below. All credit awarded will be at the lower division level.
