The Cayman Islands Civil Service College (CSC) and the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) have formed a strategic partnership to expand formalised learning opportunities within the Cayman Islands Government. This collaboration signifies a robust commitment to advancing education and professional development across the Civil Service sector.
Through this partnership, both organisations are dedicated to providing industry-specific training that ranges from certificate to postgraduate levels. They will develop bespoke programmes tailored to the evolving needs of the Civil Service and recognise transferable credits through a prior learning assessment process.
What are the benefits of this partnership?
Accelerated admissions process
Consideration of prior learning and experience
How will prior learning be assessed for adult learners in the workplace?
Prior learning assessment (PLA) will be conducted for adult learners in the workplace. This will include the acceptance of ILM, FBC and other Civil Service course credits, subject to a prior learning assessment process, as well as other credits subject to a PLA process. A PLA portfolio outlining prior experiences and credentials will be required to be considered for credit, along with transcripts.
