[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the feedback PP! Does the “career” IB result in a transferable IB diploma to other countries also? [/quote]

No, the CPIB (career) is not an IB diploma. Here is a cut and paste from the IB Organization:

Diploma Programme (DP): A future-ready programme that builds students’ inquiring mindset, fosters their desire to learn, and prepares them to excel at their careers and lead meaningful lives.

[u][b]The Diploma Programme (DP)[/b][/u] curriculum is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay.

Through the Diploma Programme (DP) core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.

[b][u]Career Programme (CP):[/u][/b] A unique programme for students in their final school years. It equips them with future-ready skills and prepares them to follow their career pathways—combining academic subjects with their own professional interests. Students complete at least two DP courses in any of that programme's subject groups. DP courses provide and enhance the theoretical underpinnings and academic rigour of the CP.

The CP core components give context to the DP courses and the career-related study, drawing all aspects of the framework together. Through the CP core, students develop personal qualities and professional skills, as well as intellectual habits required for lifelong learning.

Each school chooses the career-related study most suited to local conditions and the needs of its students The career-related study must satisfy IB criteria for accreditation, assessment and quality assurance.

Essentially, those in the DP take more IB classes than those in the CP.[/quote]
