got experience then apply normal job, apply this programme for wad sia

Applies to all other tracks as well.
You will realized that there are those with somewhat related experience or some even with related certifications.

I got 3 interviews.

So far only 1 offer but i just rejected it cause i found out during the interview process that while they tag it under one of the trakcs i chose, it is actually of a different work scope.

so yup back to waiting to see if Oct anymore offers if not then move on ba.

People talking about DBS programme, some got interview, some got offer, some waiting, some disappointed. Some looking to switch career, worried about overqualified people. Got chat about interviews, job details, and assessment also. And they have one Telegram group. Wah, really like drama show, this one!

That main TFIP telegram group is toxic.

Left that main group chat after the track and bank groups are created.

Is common when you don't have related experience or certification for those popular tracks.

Here's the TL;DR:

• Brush up on cybersecurity fundamentals and basic IT/networking knowledge even if you don't have direct experience. The assessment tests general concepts.
• Be prepared to answer situational and behavioral questions during interviews. Some financial institutions (FIs) ask highly technical questions, others focus more on fit.
• FIs are looking for those who can contribute during the on-job training period. Some prefer candidates with prior IT experience. Manage expectations accordingly.
• Competition is fierce with 100-200 applicants per track. Increase chances by applying for multiple tracks relevant to your interest.
• Choose FIs strategically. Bigger/more popular FIs tend to be more selective. Smaller FIs may provide better learning opportunities.
• Training allowance is $5.5k monthly without CPF. Some may take a pay cut. Certification and course fees are covered.
• No guarantee of a permanent role after the attachment. Prepare backup plans in case.
• Leverage Telegram chats and online forums to get insights from current participants. But beware of misinformation.

sounds like you don't have enough work experience.
tfip need at least 2 yrs work experience.

suggest you work in an SI first to gain some other IT experience before applying again else you are just wasting your time applying.
