You should be thinking of how to capitalize and leverage on your MDIS IT diploma certificate. Are your interests in IT? If not, you wouldnt enroll and study for it right?

Have you ever consider getting a job after NS? IT related work? Then a year on from working, decide to take up a part time course either management or IT?

Why its better? Cuz by getting a job, first, you get actual working experience. Second, you build on your IT diploma and at the same time you earn money to provide for yourself and money for your next education cert.

If you plunged again to another SIM course or what, what if later you are unable to cope? Or not interested in the field? or you have money concerns?

Also, your self-esteem will be higher when you started work. If you join MDIS alumni, seek the alumni organization's help to get you a related job, or ask someone you know from there to be your referree for reference letters.

For you, 2 good reference letters from Acad director or course lecturer or supervisor from MDIS and your SAF NS OC or CO should suffice.

Think about this choice. Might work out better for you.

For the IT diploma that you have, if its not recognized, then it wouldnt be offered in Singapore, then what for they want to set up the course and allow people to enroll.

You need to find out more from MDIS, the diploma you have and what companies' or institutes recognize it and how you can capitalize from it.

Also, remember that if in job or poly or institute they say that your diploma is not recognized, you need to show confidence to them and challenge them back that it is so and so....... like casetrust certified, recognized by MOE, or that the diploma is equal to so and so level in education etc. All these you can learn quickly by contacting MDIS to help you.

Ok guys it's quite long so sorry about it but I really need advise.

I'm 20 this year, just completed National Service. In 2005 I completed my O level but I screwed it with results being -

English - A1
Mother Tongue - C6
Pure Physics - E8
Pure Chem - E8
E Maths - D7

Being naive then, I enrolled in MDIS for a Diploma in IT course which I completed. However after completing it, I realised MDIS certs are not recognised and can be considered useless so I did not went for the Advanced Diploma and went to NS.

After finishing my NS, I went to enroll in SIM - Diploma in Management Studies as after doing some online research, it seems to be the most recognised private school. However I was told that with only 2 O level credits, my chance of entering is very, very slim. SIM will only confirm by mid - end November whether or not I am accepted in the course. Right now I'm feeling very stressed and I'm not sure what to do at all.

I understand if I'm not accepted by SIM, I will either have to enroll in other private schools or retake my O level. I would like to ask do our local polys accept mixed O level certs? Meaning since I have cleared my English and Mother Tongue, will it be possible to re take only my Pure Physics, Chem and E maths and use both certs to enroll?

However I understand if I go this way by the time I graduate from poly, I'll be 25 and most likely will end up going to SIM RMIT for the degree course.

So should I retake the 3 subjects and enroll in SIM Diploma course, skipping the 6 months foundation course so I end up only wasting 6 months or go to poly after retaking the 3 subjects?

Or what about Kaplan, is this private school recognised?

I'm so sorry for my wall of text but I'm really not sure what my future holds given my past attitudes and laziness.

I thank you all in advance for any inputs.

so how much you spent on MDIS cert? dun ever go back and study there, its a crap school.

if you do not meet the minimum requirements or entry level, there is such a thing as conditional entry. Go and call or visit SIM and tell them you do not meet the entry requirement. conditional entry is you do 1-2 modules and must meet the minimum 60% in order to continue the rest of the course you have enrolled. if you do pass and meet their requirements, congrats, you can proceed to continue your course from there.
