Certification
CVQ
The Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) is an award that represents achievement of a set of competencies which define core work practices of an occupational area, consistent with the levels articulated within the regional qualification framework..
To earn an award, candidates must demonstrate competence in reaching CARICOM approved occupational standards developed by practitioners and employers (i.e. the industry experts). These standards are organized in units. Candidates may earn unit awards towards achieving a complete CVQ.
Some benefits of the CVQs are listed below:
The National Training Agency (NTA) is the certifying body who awards the CVQ.
How do I earn an award?
To earn an award, candidates must demonstrate competence in reaching CARICOM approved occupational standards.

What is a TTNVQ?
A TTNVQ is a standardized national vocational qualification for courses pursued in the area of technical and vocational education and training.
TTNVQ stands for Trinidad and Tobago National Vocational Qualification. At present, TTNVQs are being developed and introduced in Trinidad and Tobago by the National Training Agency.
How does it differ from CXC or GCE?
CXC and GCE are generally qualifications for academic courses, although CXC offers some technical education courses. The CXC is a Caribbean-based qualification while GCE is a British-based qualification. Examinations are written and projects are submitted as part of the assessment process in order to obtain CXC and GCE qualifications.
The TTNVQ is a national qualification which is based on one’s competence for the world of work. Candidates are assessed under actual workplace conditions and there is more emphasis on competency-based assessment. The TTNVQ prepares the candidate with the required skills to competently perform the job, according to the standards required by industry.
How does the TTNVQ work?
TTNVQs are based on national occupational standards. Industry experts come together to define the standards for top performance in their industries. These standards are then translated to the curriculum and assessment procedures developed to encompass the standards identified. All TTNVQs fit into a TTNVQ framework. There are five levels, of which Level 1 is the introductory level called Semi-Skilled and Level 5 the highest level, which is equivalent to the Chartered and Advanced Professional Level.

RITTR ProgrammeThe Rehabilitating Inmates through Training & Retraining
The RITTR Programme is an intervention geared toward providing training to the incarcerated with the intent of reducing re-offending and recidivism and thereby contributing to national efforts for crime reduction.
The Programme is conducted by the Retraining Department of YTEPP Limited in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice. Inmates are given the chance to acquire skills that can be put to use positively in the workplace, in their everyday lives and the community at large They learn to accept the responsibility for performing tasks, meeting challenges and using learning opportunities to empower themselves with marketable skills and become more productive citizens upon their release.
Based on the format of the highly successful YTEPP Retraining programme, the RITTR Programme presents a holistic approach to the rehabilitation of the prisoners by focusing not only on the acquisition of occupational skills but also on the development of positive social skills and the transformation of attitudes and behaviour so that participants are better prepared for employment and for the challenges of life after their imprisonment.
The Programme targets convicted inmates (male and female) between the ages of 18 – 50 years who have between 6 and 18 months left in their sentence. The Programme is offered in all four Prison institutions: the Golden Grove Women’s Prison, the Golden Grove Men’s Prison, the Youth Training Centre and the Maximum Security Prison.
