”In Higher Education, the Government is striving not only to increase

”We must translate into reality the new vision of the University
prescribed by the Head of State through far-reaching changes
that seek, amongst other things, the improvement of the quality
of university services in the areas of teaching and research,
to make our universities more attractive and competitive
at the national, sub-regional and international levels”
(Excerpt of the New Year Wishes Speech
at the University of Yaounde I, January 2010)
 FOREWORD
Since November 2015, the Ministry of Higher Education has undertaken a vast and
ambitious operation to review training programmes in the Brevet de Technicien Supérieur
(BTS) and Higher National Diploma (HND) cycles. This initiative was incumbent on us as a
categorical imperative since it became obvious that the programmes that were so far
implemented had become obsolete because of the exponential evolution of the labour market.

If we recall that the programmes in question dated, most of them, as far back as 2001
and that they were developped as institutions and fields of study were set up, one easily
understands why their review had become a must. Moreover, the advent of the BMD
introduced innovations in our training and certification process that needed to be taken into
account, especially as many BTS and HND holders now aspire to register in professional
Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees.

In order to reconcile this professional requirement with the legitimate need of students
to pursue their academic programmes, we requested the support of three main stakeholders :
representatives of the business world, teachers-experts from our universities and professional
schools, proprietors/proprietresses of Private Institutions of Higher Education.

These three major stakeholders had the opportunity to brainstorm during the two (02)
seminars we organized, the first took place on 28th November 2015 and the second on 16th
march 2018, at the National Advanced School of Engineering of Yaounde I. The programmes
that we are now putting at the disposal of the national university community is the fruit of
their deliberations.

We can thus note that, thanks to this brainstorming, new fields of study emerged,
others have been redesigned, while others have disappeared altogether, either because the
labour market was already saturated, or because they had become inoperative. Trainings
identified have been organized according to sectors of activity known to date : primary,
secondary, tertiary and quaternary. Within these sectors, they have been divided into training
areas, fields of study and specialties. We therefore have 7 major training areas, 21 fields of
study and 130 specialties. These training areas have been grouped in a programme-document
in 7 volumes, distributed as follows :

Volume 1 : Trainings of the Primary Sector (461 pages) ;

Volume 2 : Trainings of the Secondary Sector (356 pages) ;

Volume 3 : Trainings of the Secondary Sector (Continued) (514 pages) ;

Volume 4 : Trainings of the Tertiary Sector (627 pages) ;

Volume 5 : Trainings of the Tertiary Sector (Continued) (784 pages) ;

Volume 6 : Trainings of the Tertiary Sector (Continued) (572 pages) ;

Volume 7 : Trainings of the Quaternary Sector (246 pages).

Page 2 of 356
 The seven volumes put together make a total of three thousand five hundred and sixty
(3560) pages, preceded by a statutory instrument to determine the system of studies and
examinations of the Brevet de Technicien Supérieur.

All this arsenal is proof, if any were needed, that our educational and certification
system is resolutely embarked on the quest for its effectiveness and social relevance. It is
attentive to all innovations and adapts to the developments of our society.

Through this approach, we hope to meet the expectations of our partners and provide
the nation with skills that it needs to achieve her emergence by 2035.
