History of the Community College of the Cayman Islands (CCCI)

 

Government sponsored tertiary education in the Cayman Islands began in 1975 when the Community College, a part-time evening institution, was established. From 1976 to 1981, three other institutions, the Trade School, the Hotel School and the Marine School were founded.

These schools were located in different sites and were supervised by either the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Tourism and Labour.

In 1985, the Government of the Cayman Islands decided to centralize the administration of all public post-secondary educational institutions on the Islands. The Hotel Training School, the Marine & Trade Training Schools and the Secretarial/Business Studies section of the Sixth Form of the Cayman Islands High School were amalgamated to form the Community College of the Cayman Islands.

In 1987, by an Act of Legislative Assembly, the College was established as a semi-autonomous post secondary educational institution.
