ITE Bishan or Clementi?

Go aim for poly. HNITEC graduate de salary is around $1.1K, depending on the job also.

Why did u go in ITE in the first place? I hope your answer is 'bcos i wana go poly'. If this is your answer, then go for it!

how's your results? I dun think you need to have very good results to go poly.. unless u are aiming for the tops like NP..

I graduated from ITE West Clementi, HNITEC in Business Admin, got COM and went straight to poly. Now working liao.. the pay is market rate.. can get higher if u want.. the first job offer i got, the director was very impressed with me that he said he hope i would take up the offer, coz I was asking for a higher pay. He even walked me out to the lobby and guided me what bus to take to the nearest mrt station etc..

If u work hard, your efforts wun go to waste wan.

If there's anything else you like to know, feel free to PM me. Wink

It's never too old.. my fren graduated when she's around your age also. My ex graduated at 26.. I graduated at 22..whatever you learned in ITE is never enough.. coz wat poly teach is more in depth.. and u will be surprised if i tell u, u have to brainwash urself on all the accounting stuff u learned in ite when u study accounting in poly lor..

Ya... I wish to go poly... But after teacher say, poly offered quite little courses... I lost hope... Coz i wanna go into cater & culinary management... But my teacher say nv offered... Haiz... I actually have plan my paths... But poly spoil it.. Why they cant give ITE ppl choose any course... Its nt fair...

hudax1 SG

From my point of view is that. I have been studying since I was Kindegarten, At first I study was quite okay, but now realising after studying in most school about 18 years, and I only reached ITE. I understand most of us are the same for what I go through

Ah Cek SG

in summary, sg is a paper society…

TerenceYYK SG

not a very good course i must say,if u r looking at business or I.T,then poly lor but cater & culinary management,why not shatec?

pinky88 SG

Ya… I’ve made my decision liao… If im able to go poly, i will go to human resource management or leisure & resort management.. If wan learn culinary, next time still can learn… Hehe….

browniebaobao SG

if u like culinary, u should have went to SHATEC instead.

since u are in the business admin, u can only opt for a business course in poly.

i disagree with ur teacher that u have few choices.. i think i got about 11 courses to choose from. Basically Business, Accountancy, Banking and Law. I believe there are more now, since poly keep starting up new courses.

U think poly is unfair, coz u can only choose courses related to ur study. But to those people who got in poly straight from O Level, they will think it's unfair to them, coz usually ITE graduates top the polys, and got exemptions, quite a number of lecturers also like ITE graduates more.

browniebaobao SG

wat's so bad about ITE?

U have about 2 years more experience than others, u learn more skills.

When I was in first semester in poly, I saw my classmates buying MS Excel textbook.. i was thinking.. 'huh? need meh?' Be glad u learn MS Office in ITE. Then u wun have to spend money on textbook and learn it all over again if u go into poly with good results.

browniebaobao SG

i believe u are talking about third year specialisation..

i think there's a tourism resort or watever course in poly, still a new course.. but i duno whether poly will offer u that course tho.

Jet81 SG

of cos diploma better… so that if your grades are good enough, you can even go to local uni.. like smu

Gaara* SG

so you are saying all of us should go to ite to learn all those basic skills for 2 yrs b4 proceeding to poly? Smile

browniebaobao SG

no, dun twist my words.

if thread starter can go poly, i believe he/she would have went poly liao. what for go waste time in ITE?

I'm saying those who can't get into poly, dun feel inferior or it's a waste of time and money.. coz it's a stepping stone to get into poly, and also to equip them with skills that are needed in the work society.

Xcert SG

not really... Laughing Mr. Green

jianfish9 SG

If can make it to Poly, why not. You already have a 2yr advantage without having to serve NS. Why don't u check if you can have any exemptions from the course?

Who knows, maybe you can even make it to Uni after that.

pokkagreentea SG

BULLSH*T!

fyi, TP offers cater & culinary management course.

As for your decision to go higher nitec or poly, do what you feel it's best for you. A diploma cert would sound more recognised I'd say.
