Well since I'm new here, so um, I must say HELLOW!!~ to everyone!

I'm actually seeking for help, I'm a 2010 O level student and I wish to go NAFA, however, I'm not sure that should I JEA for NAFA or just go to that place to register??

Sorry for posting this here but I reaaaally need someone to give me some advises..

Thanks a ton!!

oh wow.

You can apply direct, bring ur portfolio for ur audition. If you dont have a portfolio, pls start one now.

I dont know what the heck is JEA, didnt have it during my time.

FireIce SG

JAE lah

but NAFA is not under JAE rite?

JAE is for the mainstream JCs and polys, i think

u going which course?

Pitot SG

No NAFA is not in one of the choices during the admission exercise where u select where u want to go.

During my time i totally skipped that. I just went straight to NAFA to apply.

FluffyHamster SG

FireIce and Pitot, thank you so much for answering my question! ;v;

I actually want to ask more about it..

I heard that the school will only start in july, does it mean that I have to wait for more than half a year before I can get in NAFA?

*yes I meant JAE not JEA, sorry about that .. x_x

Pitot SG

uh ya, the semester is slightly different from the polytechnics.

what course are you looking at?

and uh, you can indicate NAFA as one of your choices for JAE? last time no such thing. you have to apply and hope you will get in because if you dont your as good as stuck for another year.

i graduated from NAFA almost 2 years ago. feel free to ask more.

FluffyHamster SG

That's so kind of you Pitot! ;v;

I'm interested in graphic design and illustration design.

The JAE booklet didnt mention NAFA at all, the courses they are offering are all under different polys, NAFA is in the school imformation section.. I havn't finished reading the whole booklet but I think I probably can't apply NAFA through JAE..

Pitot SG

if its the same as during my time, no. you need to apply yourself. just refer to the above link fireice posted.

do you have a portfolio of what you have done so far? try to boost it up a little before you go for the audition.

have fun learning at NAFA!

FluffyHamster SG

Okay I will attend the open house in NAFA, I do have a portfolio and some art works that I can be a little bit proud of, and I will prepare for the audition ;v;

umm, I have one more question to ask..What did you do during that long long holiday? x_x

Pitot SG

FireIce SG

yes u have 6 mths to lobo

so u can take up some PT job or find work in relevant discipline to ur course
or everyday rot

if u scared cannot get in, u can oso apply for poly at the same time
(TP has something similar in their design sch)

when the outcome is announced, u can drop the other place
