List of private diploma recognize in private/goverment sector

[WoShiPro]

Hi Bros,

I'm currently serving NS with about 2 month to go.. 23 this year.

Already got a place in Temasek poly but as the local diploma is at least 3 years. I will only graduate only at 26.. Since enrolling into a local uni will required a very high GPA dun think its possible for me. If i enter local uni i will graduate at 30 without any working experience and i will likely lost out to other job seekers.

I will most likely get part time degree after i complete my local diploma if i choose this route.

Another path I'm looking at is the private diploma and degree route which is faster 8month - 1year(diploma) 1.5-2years(degree)

Just wish to know if any private(PSB / Kaplan) diploma(that is recognize by private/government organization? as i might work in government sector next time since i gotten grading A for my NS.. Easier to get a government sector job with a grading of A i heard..

Any recommendation which route to take?

Even if you have a grading A for your NS but your diploma and degree is not recognize by Government/public sector, you are nothing.

Government/public sector like MOE do not recognize private diploma and degree such as PSB, Kaplan & etc for the position of teacher (GEO1).

So what your take on this?

just go to local poly, no pt getting pvt diplomas

 

[zhenjie88]

is always better to have a local diploma. What will your employer think if you got your diploma in only 8 mth time?

agreeable on the part where govt sector usually don't accept pvt dip or pvt dip. they are govt sector after all . and agreeable on the part that local dip is more "appreciated" incomparison. but frankly , it's 2 years for pvt dip . that is reason for the advance diploma. if you are intending to get pvt education , u better go all the way up to degree. pvt dip is basically useless on it's own.alternatively , you can take pvt dip and advance dip , once u're done with this 2 , give part-time degree @ NTU or NUS a shot. subjected to acceptance though. still , it's better than taking local dip and pvt degree. my 2cents

Correction.

1) NT GCE N follow by 2 years of ITE (NITEC), follow by another 2 years of ITE (Higher NITEC) before you go for 3 years of Poly.

2) NA GCE N follow by 2 years of ITE (Higher NITEC) before you go for 3 years of Poly.

3) NA GCE N follow by 1 year of poly foundation programme (PFP) before you go for 3 years of Poly (Not sure Poly Dip course is 2 or 3 years for those enter with PFP).

I have graduate from N level when I'm in my secondary school days.

The normal route would have to be 2 years of ITE, NS and than Local Poly and than a Degree.

Spend 7 years for Diploma? You study Doctor ar? NS 2.5 yrs some more.. waste 10 years come out as a freshie? Then get peanut pay

2) NA GCE N follow by 2 years of ITE (Higher NITEC) before you go for 3 years of Poly.

5 years? if you are the cream of the crop if not follow option 1, if need to retake how?

3) NA GCE N follow by 1 year of poly foundation programme (PFP) before you go for 3 years of Poly (Not sure Poly Dip course is 2 or 3 years for those enter with PFP).
Again 5 years? Assuming you don't have to retake anything

Unless you are going for lawyer or doctor.. don't waste too much time on paper... if you are capable... dont think of poly but go thru a local uni degree....experience play a bigger part at work......

 

[akloaklo]

Easy.

Want take private diploma make damn sure you go all the way up to a degree. Most of my ns buddy went this route(they can't get into local poly) and yeah they grad faster than me and 1 I know already earning 3k. His qualifications all from private institution.

I went the local poly route and till now still no degree(my 6th mths in unisim now) and my pay is 2k+


Take local diploma...well just study hard and try to get into a local uni if not then go pvt uni.

This is how our government plan for NT Students for their full time education system path. Part time even longer duration. Their system is to cut off graduate to supply them to meet the demand of workforce for blue collar position. When workforce shortage of white collar position, they just import FT in!

5 years? if you are the cream of the crop if not follow option 1, if need to retake how?

Mostly if they did not go for Higher NITEC or NITEC, they go for Private Education & a very small pool of them will go for Private GCE O.

Again 5 years? Assuming you don't have to retake anything

That is the reason I do not like government for giving us this type of prolong crap education system.

How can go local Uni to get a Bach Degree with having a very good result for Post Sec Sch (GCE A/Poly Dip) or high education as a citizen? I have studies the system but no loop hole!

As for job, experience play a bigger part but you needs the correct cert to secure an interview first before you get to sell your experience.

Hi TS, from what I heard, grading for your NS no use 1. Will not a major factor for consideration for working in gov sector the last time I ask around. The most important thing is still cert. O level (at least 5) onwards. Unless you are in special operations force

If you want to take private diploma then you have to aim to go for degree afterwards because private diploma is not recognized and even private sectors treat it as a O level cert at best.

My suggestion is that if you intend to take a degree after you graduate from poly anyway, might as well just chiong for a degree taking the private dip path, Dip 8mths -> degree 1.5yrs for related course, total is about 2years assume no fails or re-modules. Of course this is assuming you have the funds to do so. Private dip sets you back about 5k and degree about 18k.

Guys sorry for cut in..... if u were me will u go for

MDIS dip for 18 mths then degree 3 years or

PSB academy 32 mths for dip then can opt for a 2 yr degree or a 3 yr degree by different uni...


Going for electrical engineering course, sign up for the application for both , but cant make up which to take up as part time study

 

[Kyoji83]

That why I go Private after I sit down one day to think about my future.

Then go private all the way... why waste time....

 

[Kyoji83]

If I have only these 2 options, I will choice 'MDIS dip for 18 mths then degree 3 years' because it is what you learn & the degree cert from the Uni that matter & not the Pte Dip.

However if I have other choices, I will not choice both of them cause DL degree is not recognize by PEB to be a Prof Engineer.

Sigh i mean i starting from zero, since i only have a O level Cert, younger days never work hard.....

i know bro been offering good suggestion to a lot ppl here maybe can advice me too?

PSB offer NTUC SEP for dip and pay 50% of the fee.
As for MDIS have no subsidy.

SMF (Formerly SMa) Diplomas are endorsed by over 3000 member companies of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation - which means 3000 companies in Constuctions, Electrical, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Life Style, Food and Beverages... will accept your SMF Diploma.

After the Diploma, you get direct entry into year 2 of the Murdoch Programme which is a recognized qualification listed in MOM!

 

[papaya00]

The NS grade is totally useless one unless you get those super lousy grading then maybe people will question why so lousy one?

Working experience and education is key factor.
If i am you, I will go for private diploma then degree while working. If you can take the hardship for few years you can gain is a super win-win.

Those local diploma unable to get in local uni also end up at private degree. In the end you will more or less catch up in term of age with this group of people. Time is $$!

If you going for diploma only then better go for local one. Goverment definitely support local one more. If they support private one then more student go private one, those local poly no business liao.

 

[LesPhantom]

if u r dead settled on government sector, go for poly diploma. from then on, do your best and take 1 step at a time.
