With that said, I've also heard somewhere that in your ippt (not rt) year, if you attempt ippt 20 times but not pass, you only need to attempt (don't have to pass) ippt once the following year in order to be considered clear for both years. Is that true, and would that apply if you volunteer yourself for 20 ipt sessions instead?
this might be true given on the fact that it is 20-D.. but this is subjected to the words from official channel and/or fellow brothers here has personally experienced it.
however, in my opinion IPT is more fruitful.. do consider the following:
- all IPT sessions will be paid (2x IPT-IPPT + 8x IPT);
- only first 3 IPPT of any kind will be paid, and this includes the IPT-IPPT. meaning that if u want to maximize the 1/2 svc pay that you are entitled, u can take 1x non-ICT IPPT in addition to the 10 IPT sessions;
- IPT sessions has more flexibility, as you can choose to attend on Sundays, weekday's noon and IPT-in-the-park for example;
- IPT takes about 45mins.. similar to IPPT;
- in the event of rain.. IPPT may be cancelled and attendance will not be counted. Whereas IPT at FCCs will continue.
so... IPT or IPPT. u decide.
