Thanks Ohgeesh! 37 is not relatively young i reckon😏. compared to so many fresh grads or younger candidates-22-24. Most of my peers that did mid career switch at age 31-32. But you are right. Probably stiff competition for space and given the excess as well. Good luck to everyone in the forum!

Wow, congrats! Understand you are also undergrad? I think I got to do EPT or waiting to be rejected��.. Shall hv to continue this hand-wringing wait...
don't lose hope yet! i think all of us still stand an equal chance as long as we don't receive the rejection email so we should keep our hopes up and keep updating each other! :) hmm... they'd probably classify me as undergrad too since i'm currently in the last sem of my part-time degree. i've been working for 7 years though.

Good morning, everyone!

I went for my PGDE interview last July, in 2018, and after almost 10 months of waiting, I have finally just received my possible offer of appointment via email. For those that have been waiting like me, your email ought to arrive soon too, I reckon. As for the rest that did not get through, do not give up. I tried more than a few times (and also went to upgrade myself by taking extra NIE endorsed courses) before I made it this far.

Good luck, everyone!

Hi there :) nope i have yet to and that’s worrying me :( but I wouldn’t be too worried if I were you as you had your status changed to shortlisted! :)

I say just wait! Even with the EPT availability mail they sent it on different days even though we went for interviews all in March! So I think they update the statuses differently as well. Good luck!

HAHAHAA because I heard of some people who applied and received their offer letters even before uni started so I wanted to try as soon as possible..

I think my application is delayed as compared to the others but there were mid career applicants who received medical email around the same time as me so not very sure also.

Nope I didn’t receive any email related to EPT actually so I think if you didn’t receive EPT email it’s fine probably means you don’t have to take it :)

Ouh that's good to hear! thanks sunnyside. wishing you a smooth teaching journey ahead!=)

Hi Sunnysideupp,
During the period from interview to medical, were you waiting in total silence (from the end of moe) or were there frequent updates? It just seems like a really really long wait :o

Some of us received shortlist email in early December I think.. but I didn’t receive any update from MOE except for a change in my status on careers.sg in late November from “in process” to “shortlisted” when I checked

Oh man, the unsettling silence. Thank you so much for your update. Appreciate it

Hi everyone, did any of you receive the EPT email yet? They said they’ll email us 1 week before the EPT which is on 18 April.
