Take O level or Ite

[mushroom34]

I ord last year and already 22, I quit nitec once before I entered ns. I'm not sure if I should enter nitec again or take private O level, my highest qualification is only N(A) level so I'm a little worried.

depends on what you want to do.

if you want to study more (poly/uni) then O level. if not then ITE

 

[Idme231]

N(A) > Nitec OR Higher Nitec > Poly > Degree (Normal ITE Route, 2 years if do well on nitec or higher nitec to poly)
N(A) > O level > Nitec >Higher Nitec > Poly > Degree (If fail O level badly, 4 years on ITE, GPA not attained at Nitec)
N(A) > O Level > Poly > Degree

Do the calculations.

Your path is a bit misleading. Mostly this should be the paths N(A) students will chose and GCE O become optional these days unless they want to use GCE O for Poly intake.

Sec 4 N(A) GCE N -> 1 year PFP -> 3 years Poly -> 3 or 4 years Degree (Depending on course)

Sec 4 N(A) GCE N -> 2 years Higher Nitec -> 2 or 3 years Poly (Depending on your Higher Nitec GPA) -> 3 or 4 years Degree (Depending on course)

Sec 4 N(A) GCE N (Bad result) -> 2 years Nitec -> 1 or 2 years Higher Nitec (Depending on your Nitec GPA) -> 2 or 3 years Poly (Depending on your Higher Nitec GPA) -> 3 or 4 years Degree (Depending on course)

Sec 4 N(A) GCE N (Bad result) -> 2 years Nitec -> 3 years Poly (Depending on your Higher Nitec GPA) -> 3 or 4 years Degree (Depending on course)

N(A) > Nitec OR Higher Nitec > Poly > Degree (Normal ITE Route, 2 years if do well on nitec or higher nitec to poly)
N(A) > O level > Nitec >Higher Nitec > Poly > Degree (If fail O level badly, 4 years on ITE, GPA not attained at Nitec)
N(A) > O Level > Poly > Degree

Really depends on what you think you want to do for work. Assuming you're not signing on, and since you're already 22, you might have some idea. If not the sit down and mug type, and technical work is ok for you then the easiest path is ITE NITEC, Higher NITEC, Technical diploma (limited courses) or poly diploma route. If poly will accept you for FP that's even better.
But if your aim is office/nontechnical work such as hospitality, then choose the path O level is something to consider seriously as many employers look for O level results for fresh school-leavers. After O's then either poly or private diploma.
