ITE H.Nitec - Event Management
 

Hi! Has anyone taken this course before ( ITE H.Nitec - Event Management ) How will the industry treat the person with this qualification compare to a diploma or degree with the somewhat similar management education?

Is that so? Hmm... how low pay is it? below 3k? Most job all long hours la...but ya. I know what you mean. Long hours and have to work on holidays and weekends but that why some manager know how to eat snake and carry balls lo...I seen some manager do that...hmm... Do you have any suggesting for the people in the design/ creative field?

What kind of treatment are you referring to?
- You will definitely be paid lesser than poly dip and local degree grads.
- Don't expect to be in supervisory role when you graduate from higher nitec, unless you have a strong experience.
- But if score well in your higher nitec, you may attempt to further your studies in polytechnic.
- Do be aware that you may also be competing with WSQ graduates for jobs. :s22:

What is your highest qualification? O Level? ITE Nitec?

I have a diploma in design/creative field .... but not doing so well for me and I dont have a strong portfolio because most of my job scope only need my software support rather than conceptualizing/ design. I kind of lose my creative muscle...was thinking for upgrading or branching out, so looking for some affordable and not to long course/degree to take.

Thanks PromenadePlantée! Sound like you know alot about people in the creative field. Thanks! What do most creative field people do to advance in this industry?

Thank intime & PromenadePlantée.. Have though about unsim before as I know they have a some what new course on design & management skill but its location is not convenience...

The only 2 institutions left are NAFA and LaSalle.
- NAFA offers top-up degrees from various foreign universities.
NAFA
- LaSalle offers foreign degrees validated by Goldsmiths, University of London.
Students - LASALLE

For me I feel that location is secondary. Important for me is to get the most rigourous and comprehensive degree education. :s22:

Sian... ya...all this about degree.. in the pass "they" keep promoting people to get a higher education. Now "they" say you don have too... so confused...

Hmm.... how about I give you my interpretation on what I think "they" are trying to say.

"They" hope that I don't "rush".
- If I am not ready for a good degree from a reputable institution, then don't. It could be due to any reason, location, cost, time, job, family etc.
- There are diploma level jobs that need my expertise and for me to fill in. Leave the degree level jobs to the university graduates.
- In the mean time, do my best at my job and occasionally go for short upgrading courses from the WSQ system, Poly system, NAFA/LaSalle or Local Uni.
MICE & Events WSQ / William Angliss Institute
Creative Industry WSQ
Part-Time Certificate Course - NAFA
Part-Time Enrichment Programmes - NAFA
Short Courses - LASALLE
- When I am ready for a degree, then go all out for a good education.
