You are very rubbish. A diploma sounds and looks much cooler
than a NITEC????!!!!
Really nonsense.
no offense, but as far as perception goes, whatever that comes
out of ITE is generally perceived to be lousy and low-grade.
and it's a Nitec somemore, not ITC cert.
basically, u tell people you got "MDIS Diploma awarded by
University of Edith Cowan / RMIT" etc., and u tell people u got
"Nitec".
the first one sounds a lot more sophisticated and more "cheem",
even if that's not the case.
imagine you got "Diploma in IT" vs. "Nitec in IT". which is
better?
although image of ITE has improved, it is only a very mild
improvement.
when u say ITE, images of ill-behaved students operating rusty
industrial machines doing dirty jobs come to mind.
when u say Poly, images of party-loving, trendy hip teens
carting around the latest Zinc and Crumpler messenger bags come to
mind.
when you say JC, images of intelligent, clean-cut students
speaking smooth, pseudo-slang English with soaring aspirations and
ambitions comes to mind.
no kidding, but people are still saying ITE = it's the end
