PREFACE
In order to efficiently delineate the question of the professionalization of teaching in
Cameroon, the Ministry of Higher Education, proceeded to redesigning programs relating to the
national examination of the Higher National Diploma (HND) from the 12th to the 15th of November
2019 in the Universities of Bamenda and Buea .
These meetings which brought together all the main components of this level of education,
namely Representatives of socio-professional circles, Teacher-Experts of Universities and
Professional Training Schools and Promoters of Private Higher Education Institutes (PHEI), have
resulted in the publication of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX on the regime of studies, evaluations and
teaching programs for the award of the Higher National Diploma (HND) in the Republic of
Cameroon .
The implementation of this text by the National Commission for the Organization of
National Examinations (NCONE), a technical body responsible for the organization and evaluation of
the said examinations, confirming the disappearance of the Higher Diploma of Professional Studies
(HDP), posed a practical problem linked to the absence of evaluation referential. To remedy this
situation, the NCONE, with the authorization of the Minister of Higher Education, and as a logical
result of the efforts made by this structure to control the quality and content of the assessment tools
for candidates and the material organization of the Examinations falling within its competence,
organized, from 10 to 14 September 2018 in the various Examination Centers, in Yaounde, Douala
and Bandjoun, workshops for the development of the various referentials, aids to the implementation
of the new organization of the Higher National Diploma (HND) examination in Cameroon.
The pages that follow are therefore the fruit of this long, qualitative and quantitative process,
expression of the collaborative synergy of academic and professional Experts, Teachers of PHEI
authorized to present candidates for the National Examinations to NCONE. Following the afore-
mentioned Order, the new organization of BTS is subdivided into three (2) volumes, divided into
sectors.
Volume 1 which concerns primary, secondary and quaternary sectors deals with three (3)
domains: the agro-pastoral domain, water and environment domain, and finally the domain of
information and communication technologies.
Volume 2 deals with the tertiary sector with only one study domain, that of industry and
technology.
These two volumes will serve as a compass and dashboard for any HND candidate and any
Private Higher Education Institute, so that from now on, no one will ignore the programs and framing
essential for the smooth running of the Higher National Diploma (HND) national examination in
Cameroon.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE ORGANISATION OF

NATIONAL EXAMS.
Prof. Emmanuel Dieudonné PEGNYEMB

I. STRUCTURE OF THE PAPER
This paper is composed of three independent sections

II. CONTENT:
Each section has been broken into competences to be assessed as follows:

Section one: structural analysis;
Approximate duration: 1hours15; weighting: 35%; Marks: 7mks
Objective: draw the bending moment and/or the shear force diagram for statically indeterminate,
➢ Portal framesor
➢ Continuous beams
Notice: for this exercise the following should be respected

➢ Apply Simple loading that will need only one section per span or member
➢ The unknown redundant forces should not exceed two
➢ The candidate will have the task to draw the bending moment diagram and the shear force
diagram or only the bending moment depending on the complexity of the exercise
➢ Only rectangular or punctual loading should be set (uniformly distributed loading, single load
or single couple of forces)
➢ The solving method would be the force method ,the three moment method, slope deflection.

Objective:the target in this section is to assess the candidate’s ability to evaluate the load applied on a
structural member and compute thenecessary section of reinforcement required for that section.
Candidates would carry out,
- Justification of sections at the ultimate limit state (U.L.S) and service limit state Using
BAEL91 (reinforced concrete at limit states)
- Calculation of the reinforcement for beams, column or footings
Notice:
- The span of the continuous beam should not exceed 3
- For continuous beams The bending moment both at mid span and at supports using
simplified methods
- The reinforcement will be computed at mid span or at support
- A drawing showing the section of the element reinforced should be realized
Document: joint all the necessary documents

Section three: pre-stressed concrete

Objective: the target here is the evaluation of the candidate’s ability to identify the pre-stress methods
or their ability to compute the pre-stress force for a simple beam
Students will be evaluated on: either of thesetopics
- pre-stress methods (advantages and disadvantages)
- determination of the pres-tress force for a simple beam
- section of the beam
- pre-stress loses

Objectives of the paper:
• To enable students select process equipment and produce a block diagram
and process flow diagram using E-Draw.
• To read and interpret Process and Instrumentation Diagram.
• To enable students to draw a complete labelled process.
• Analytical Chemistry practical will be focused on analysis of water and
some common Chemical products like…. The main aim of these analyses is
to control the quality of these products we consumed daily.
• Organic Chemistry practical will consist of the synthesis, extraction and
characterization of some common chemical products.
NB: During the practical session, each examination centre will choose one
of the sections. Because it will take more than five hours for the

(Configuration Proposée)
A- STRUCTURE : Elle comprendra trois parties à savoir ;
I. Questions à choix multiples (QCM) 40%
II. Compréhension écrite 30%
III. Expression libre 30%
PREMIERE PARTIE : LES QUESTIONS A CHOIX MULTIPLES (QCM) (40%)

40 questions reparties sur les aspects de la langue (grammaire, expression, vocabulaire, phonologie,
traduction, etc. – 24questions) et de la vie (la culture générale : culture, politique, sport, agriculture,
etc. – 06questions)
DEUXIEME PARTIE : COMPREHENSION ECRITE (30%)
a- Texte de longueur variant entre 250–350 mots, sur un sujet d’actualité des domaines divers
(affaires, politique, sport, science, culture, emplois, etc.)
b- i. Questions de type compréhension, définitions, synonymie, QCM, etc.
ii. On peut aussi intégrer des questions sur l’exploitation grammaticale, le syntaxe, la
phonologie, etc.
TROISIEME PARTIE : EXPRESSION LIBRE (30%)
Trois types de sujets (ouvert/fermé)
a) Correspondance
b) Narration, reportage
c) Argumentation
NB : sujets se situant dans les domaines divers de la vie.

NB : Les changements effectués sur l’ancien programme
1. Cette épreuve comprendra trois (03) parties, soit un rabais des quatre (04) de l’ancien.
2. La présente intègre une partie des questions à choix multiples qui teste le programme entier.
3. La section de la traduction supprimée est techniquement absorbée par la section des QCM.
OBSERVATION :
Le temps attribué à l’enseignement du French est largement insuffisant pour permettre la
réalisation des objectifs visés, vu le bagage très bas des apprenants en matière de la langue
