Hello everybody,

I would like to share about my part time diploma study in polytechnic.
I graduated from ITE full time course, Business Higher Nitec. I graduated with GPA 3.4, this was 10 ten years. After I graduated from ITE, I studied 2.5 years of part time Diploma in Administration in Temasek Polytechnic. My classmates were from 23 to 45 years old. Each semester costs $780 at that time. Some of them were sponsored by Ministry of Education. They had worked in the company for a very long time, more than 8 years. The entry requirement for this course was not difficult, they accepted my part time admin working experience although it was stated minimum 2 years of relevant working experience.
