The college reported that out of 179 exam sittings, they recorded 165 passes.

The college’s 92.2 percent pass rate is a marginal increase of 92 percent in 2018. 52 students wrote CAPE in 24 subject areas.

And the college had reported that there were 100 percent passes in 17 of the 24 subjects areas, namely accounting units 2; Caribbean studies, communications studies, computer science units 1 and 2, digital media, entrepreneurship units 1 and 2. Environmental science units 1 and 2, geography unit 2, Information technology units 1 and 2, management of business unit 1, pure mathematics unit 1, sociology and tourism unit 2. Passes of 60 percent and above were obtained in the remaining seven subject areas.

That year the College achieved a 100% pass rate in Applied Mathematics Unit 1, Communication Studies, Computer Science Unit 2, Information Technology Unit 2 and Environmental Science Unit 1.

A Principal Paul Payne release stated that the College entered 49 candidates, which included seven part-time students, two of whom were absent for the examinations.

The students were registered under the College to write 13 CAPE Units for a total of 167 subject entries, but with two candidates reporting absent, these results are based on 163 subject entries, which the students actually wrote.   This was an increase from the 42 students who registered for 144 subject entries in 16 CAPE Units in 2012.
