This response should indicate the main method or source from which the training has been completed or is being received and this must relate to the field of training recorded in Question 67b. It is very important to determine the main method in order to facilitate office coding of Question 67b. The method by which training was acquired can be classified in the following groups:
1 On-the-job training
This refers to training received while the person is in the service of the establishment or a tradesman. (On-the-job training could take various forms e.g. a short course offered at the place of employment to acquire a specific skill).
2 Private Study
For persons answering self study or self-taught "Private Study" Box 2 must be checked, except in cases where they indicate that a correspondence course is being pursued. In such a case, place an 'x' in box 4 Correspondence course.
3 Apprenticeship
Is a contractual agreement between employer and employee. The apprentice gets the training, and the employer may or may not pay him/her whilst the apprentice acquires the skill. Example: Caribbean Meteorological Institute in Barbados provides apprenticeship training for persons in St. Lucia.
4 Correspondence Course
This refers to forms of training acquired either through the reading of books, such as, teach yourself manuals along with using traditional postal mail service to correspond with an institution which organizes training programmes around these manual/training materials.
5 Secondary Schools
This category refers to the Government and Government Assisted, as well as Private Secondary Schools providing a broad base of general education for children over eleven years of age. Example, Castries Comprehensive, Bocage Secondary, Entrepot Secondary, St. Joseph's Convent, The International School etc
6 Vocational / Trade Schools / Technical Institution
A vocational or trade school is one which offers courses in trades such as welding, pipe-fitting, carpentry, printing, book-binding, electrical wiring, etc. Educational institutions such as CARE are examples.
Training provided in "technical institutes", this training is usually of a technical/vocational nature. Admission to the institutes in most cases will require completion of a full five-year secondary education as a minimum. Education at this level may be classified as "Third level first stage of the type that leads to an award not equivalent to a First University Degree". A Typical example is the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College; the Vieux-Fort Community College, is another such example.
7 Commercial /Secretarial School
Commercial School and Secretarial schools can be described as educational institutions, which offer courses in one or more of the following subjects e.g. typing, shorthand, basic book- keeping and office procedure. Examples of Schools: SALCC, Vieux-Fort Comprehensive Post Secondary Department, CARE, PASS

9 University (on campus)

10 Distance Learning
Distance Learning is any form of organized educational experience in which teaching and learning takes place with teachers at a distance from the learners for most of the time. It incorporates all levels of education and training using advanced forms of technology involving satellites, teleconferencing, networks, television/radio broadcast and other mechanisms. Examples of Schools: UWIDITE, British College of Professional Management (via ISIS), University of Leicester
