Dominica State College Now Offers CAPE Programmes

Dominica State College (DSC) announces the introduction of its CAPE programmes Mathematics, Information Technology, Biology, and Business Studies: Management of Business within its General Studies Department. The programmes offer a range of academic, vocational, and technical skills, leading to eventual certificates and diplomas.

Nadine Riviere, Dean of the General Studies Department of the Dominica State College, believes that introducing CAPE programmes to DSC is a necessary decision.

“CAPE studies have become increasingly popular in Dominica, so offering it at our College is a necessary decision. This initiative makes us more attractive to students who wish to do CAPE and puts us on par with our regional counterparts,” said Nadine Riviere, Dean of the General Studies Department of Dominica State College. “We hope our students take full advantage of the programmes as they can serve as side options. Also, we look forward to extending the programmes to members of the public in the evenings.”

From September 2022, students can participate in the institution’s CAPE Programme or CAPE Support. The CAPE Programme allows students to complete one (1) or two (2) of the four areas of study. The students will study all the required classes to fulfill the CAPE syllabus, including Mandatory Communication Studies and Caribbean Studies. For Cape Support, students must be enrolled in the College’s Associate’s Programme for that corresponding Major and will only do additional CAPE classes to complete the CAPE Syllabus.

For acceptance into the CAPE programme, students must have five (5) CSEC subject passes at general proficiency level with grades 1, 2, or 3, including English A or Mathematics, a completed application form, one passport-size photo, the biodata page of their passport or birth certificate and application fee $90 (non-refundable). The admissions deadline is August 5, 2022. For information about cost, contact the General Studies Department at 275-3667.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.

One thought on “Dominica State College Now Offers CAPE Programmes

  1. This article is incomplete. To the oersin unfamiliar with the education landscape in Dominica, a brief description of what previously obtained would have been appreciated. If they have not been doing CAPE exams, what had they been doing all all those years? Cambridge and Oxford-prepared A-level exams?
