I am proud to say that ITE wasn’t bad at all..Tell me what makes you think its bad? IS it people remark.If it is, it can be very damaging

patdog112 SG

many people keep telling me that if you study ite you wont have future and will have a hard work when you are adult..I saw some ite courses not bad what

StarPuppy SG

society label it as bad

ITE is where those people cannot do well in their studies go there and do technical work..

there are bad people there...but the point is ARE YOU GOING TO BE LIKE THEM?? there are many reports where the ITE students have won their poly counterparts in jobs...

so does it mean that Uni is the best and ITE is the worst? If you think so,you might want to do some self-thinking

Cheers

Me Last batch of VITB ( ITE ) and very first batch of ITE grads. Am proud to say I learn alot in there. After working 10yrs since I ROD, earning twice now compare to wat I earned in 95.

being an na student…i can cope with only chinese and english..any chances i can take Olevels english and chinese outside? isit expensive?

hudax1 SG

No. You will have a job. Just look at the newspaper. Most 90% of ITE graudates found job within three months. I think you listen to people remark it damaging of course. Do you have proof that you can’t find job and its not good. From people said, Crap!

hudax1 SG

Friend stop thinking negative, take my advice i have experience from ITE workshop as well.Thank positive..Means think good side or you will discount your Self-Esteem.

stellazio SG

I think if you can tahan,try to aim for poly or jc.

patdog112 SG

zaxis SG

Nlevel cert go out can find job anot huh?

dragg SG

it depends on the individual.

i know quite a lot of people with ITC certificates whom are very successful. some are even General Manager and owners of companies.

there are university graduates whom dont do well in their career too.

it is the general behaviour of ITE students that gave people a negative impression.

dragg SG

at least have a diploma. otherwise learn a trade.

life will be very tough with just secondary education.

erijazz SG

First, my advise for you is to continue with your studies to secondary 5 inorder to attain your GCE 'O' level. Reason being, if you are not able to secure a place in the polys, at least you are able to go ITEs for Higher NITEC instead of NITEC.

Note: NITEC (NTC3/NTC2) is 2 years course and there after another 2 years course for Higher NITEC (ITC).

If you stop at GCE 'N' level, then your only choice is to enrol for NITEC for 2 years course then Higher NITEC for 2 years then Diploma for 3 years course...

You do the maths...

ITE stands for It's The End!

Haven u heard of it?
Laughing

no lah.. just kidding.. those from ITE dun be offended k..

but, seriously, i think if given a choice between ITE and Poly, i guess most pple will choose poly..
anyway, if u finish your ITE education and wish to further, you will also go Poly..
so why spend another 2-3 years in ITE? Might as well go straight to poly?

ChingAlvin SG

Actually ITE is not that bad. I remember reading a report on The New Paper and theres a poll on employers preference on employees and most of them prefers ITE graduates coz they have hands on skills. Another way you look at it is joining in the Higher Nitec u are able to learn some hands on skill and after u graduate u can go straight for a diploma and you starts at year 2, which may be good and bad.

meltz SG

no ITE is not bad ... i have frenz who go to poly from ITE .....

hw about changing class ... can consult yr teacher better than leaving school

margarita SG

ya .. if u want, after ITE can go further studies .. i know someone who did ITE then Diploma then Master ..
