Welcome
Welcome to the Caribbean Management Education Centre Inc - CariMEC. We are an organization dedicated to the education and
training of people in the Caribbean. Our mission is to provide an outstanding educational experience at postgraduate level to
people in the Caribbean in terms of academic standards and quality of professional support.
We are registered with the Barbados Accreditation Council.
Our main business partner is the University of Durham Business School, whose MBA programme we have been offering in the
Caribbean since 2003. Originally the programme was offered in partnership with Ernst and Young. In 2006 a separate company,
CariMEC, was established to provide a dedicated support service for the Durham programme.
CariMEC has also provided short courses in Leadership and Project Management for Revenue and Customs Authorities in Grenada,
St Lucia and St Kitts. These courses were funded by our client based in Barbados,
CARTAC (an IMF funded organization).
In September 2008 we offered our first open short course on Project Management, delivered in Barbados by Dr Christos
Tsinopolous, an internationally recognized academic specializing in project management, and Mr. David Reeves, a Barbados-based
practitioner and consultant on project management.
We hope you find something to interest you in our web site and welcome any feedback on its content
- or suggestions on what we might offer if you don’t find it here.
