HISEP

HISEP:[The High School Equivalency Programme]

HISEP is geared towards providing Jamaicans who did not complete high school with the necessary tools to help recover those lost years.  It is fully supported by the Ministry of Education and is available to persons eighteen and over learners are exposed to world class training and mentorship in five subjects:

• Language & Communication
• Literature, Culture and the Arts
• Mathematics
• Science & Technology
• Society & Citizenship

The curriculum and testing mechanisms were developed by NCT/VET while the programme is delivered through the JFLL’s network of HISEP learning centres across Jamaica.

What Certification? Learners are given Statements of Competence upon successful completion of each subject/module and a High School Diploma upon successful completion of programme. The HISEP diploma is equivalent to 5 CSEC subjects, providing a pathway to tertiary level education. It is accepted throughout the National Education system, and winning the acceptance of a growing number of private tertiary institutions.
