Any IT cert for skillfuture to recommend here?

[slogd3ad]

Hi, I've been thinking a lot to up my skills to learn more into IT.
Been studying for a degree majoring in human sciences and minoring in IT... but end up working in a media field (editing)...
Any of you here knows Skillfuture provide courses with IT cert
Havent do a proper research on the cert..
However the route that I'm going mostly for non-computer science where I've to deal with programming... networking, database, analysts, system... is fine..

Hint: future career change.

For career change to IT, you can consider PCP for infocomm technology,
http://www.wsg.gov.sg/programmes-and-initiatives/professional-conversion-programmes.html
Follow the link and go to the infocomm technology section to see the range of IT PCP.

If you are not interested in taking on the entire IT PCP, you can just take reference from the IT PCP training routemap, then take up the individual certification courses yourself.

Not sure how it works though.

Was thinking to take a course and exams.

Seems interesting...
So I'll learning and at the same time working?

I'm not sure what's my option right now..

Using skillfuture credits and take a cert course & exams or...?

WSG website seems confusing to me, there's alot of links and options until I don't know where to go to...

Any review for this career path set-up by NTUC?
Any thoughts about it as well?

Not sure, they only provide classes and not exams? If no, how should I take the exams in the future?

Depending on how old you are you can have up to 90% SSG funding for your course. The course will cost a maximum of 4.1k (50% funding) and have a training duration of 3 months.

Your skillsfuture credit can be used to offset ANY training that you take. 500 dollars credit.

Right now your options are simple: study part-time while working and attend interviews while you are working or simply study full-time and have an unemployment period of up to 4-5 months.

To inform yourself, you can actually get more information through this seminar: right here

Consider your future going into IT career after getting informed!

Thank you for your reply.

I'm not so sure which part-time study to go to...
Skillsfuture only offer 1 time courses and without exam.
Did I read it wrongly for NTUC, where they offered a package and exams as well?

I just need to be sure before joining any courses... before kene cheat. :'(

don't join IT unless you can short change your pay against FT.
engineer, programmer are in short but pay wise not good, long hours low pay, not possible to progress to next level.
management level, politic liao liao, pay ok, but economic not doing well, so danger for retrenchment.

What do you think about this?
I'm more to IT/IS oriented guy rather than computer science/programming/coding.. thus this course suit for me.

I'm thinking to sign up for this courses. Does it have exams and such?

Not sure other places provide better courses.

 

[slogd3ad]

Yes the course has exams. No matter where go you, each NICF has their exams you have to pass.

I cannot recommend what course is good for you because I don't know much about NTUC, to be honest.

Try calling them at their phoneline.

Since you want to go for NTUC courses, you should find out about what funding you will get.

I can tell you personally that if you are serious about improving yourself, our teachers at Lithan are equally serious about helping you.

I have already send an email to Lithan a couple of days ago.
