You don’t have to register at ITE (or at any school at all, for that matter) to take O levels (or A levels, if you wish) as a private candidate. You can self-study (of if you can afford it, with private tuition to help you) for all of these subjects, if you don’t wish to register as an ITE or some other private school candidate. There are, of course, pros and cons regarding taking O levels at ITE (or at any private school). It’s up to you. And there’s no age limit for taking O levels or A levels as a private candidate, no worries, whether legally (by MOE) or otherwise (you don’t need to world to approve of, or agree with, or believe in you; you only need yourself for this).

Further education is good, no matter wat age you are...

learning things is always good...

what you plan to do has been done by many before. i would go for self study.

Or you may go for WSQ certificates and diplomas, if possible. They are more practical than O levels, in some ways. Not sure whether all employers recognise these certs.

Alternatively, you may enquire with private schools whether they can take you in for a diploma course, may be faster than O levels.

Or you can try internet marketing or trading (usually high risk) by self-reading.

All the best.

Thirty one years old is still considered young in ITE "O" level classes. There are a number of late thirties and forties in these clasess.

For budget-wise, WSQ certificates and diplomas are better choices.

It is very expensive to study in private schools, be it "O level or private diplomas.

Chemguide7 SG

Hi lee012, I agree with you totally. Thanks.

I think for your age, learning anything except the school stuff will be much more useful.

Learning things may be good, but we still need to consider the things we are planning to learn. Not just blindly follow the mantra of Learning is always good.

Agree...

most people study then see wat job suits them...

The better option would be to pick a course or area of study that best align with your future goal/program...

I think it's still best that you go for classes better still I would rather face an 8 month deficit and study hard cause subjects like science (phy/sci/bio) are best understood in classes rather than self study.

I don't know if 8 months is enough to catch up (considering I passed sci in NT stream) and pass a sci (pure) subject but once the classes start I won't want to waste my time anymore.

Age doesn't really matter - at least you are willing to pursue education, & that's a good thing! :)

Dday8 SG

Wow. You are very courageous to want to study even after all these years. The people I know now will never do this.

Bayonetta SG

Go for it. Live Your life. Make memories. Bring the best of yourself.

I honestly love your determination to study. I wish I was more like you.

The youth can really learn from you!

alvintiandi SG

nowadays the syllables for sec studies is damn hard, comparing to the time u had when u were in sec school. private certificates are better.

Olevels may seem hard at the beginning to anyone. But it gets easier so go for it :D
