ITE offers a wide range of part-time Higher National
ITE Certificate (Higher Nitec),
National ITE Certificate (Nitec)
and ITE Skills Certificate (ISC) courses to cater
to the upgrading needs of the workforce. The part-time
Higher Nitec/Nitec/ISC
courses are offered in modules to allow working adults
the flexibility to choose modules according to their
needs. Each module can be completed in 6 months under
the regular part-time course. A module certificate will be
awarded for Higher Nitec/Nitec module(s) completed successfully in an examination series.
Depending on the demand, not all
the modules in the part-time Higher
Nitec/Nitec/ISC courses will be offered in
each intake. Where the modules are offered and there
is insufficient enrolment, the classes will be cancelled
and a full refund will be given to the affected students.
It is important that applicants are physically and medically fit to pursue the courses applied for. ITE reserves the right to reject applicants with existing physical/medical conditions if they are deemed unsuitable for the courses applied for.

by post. As ITE course management reserves the right
of final decision, no appeals for re-evaluation will
be entertained.
Module Exemption based on
ITE Certifications
Applications for module exemption based on ITE certifications will be handled by a different procedure. Module exemption can be granted for:
NTC-3 certificate awarded in other modes of training [e.g., Public Trade Test (PTT), Approved Training Providers (ATP)] beside part-time; or
Module(s) successfully completed in other modes of training.
Students can apply for module exemptions at Campus Administration Office/Customer Service Centre 6 weeks before commencement of training.
Students should apply for module exemption upfront during their course of study so that they can be advised on the modules that can be exempted and outstanding modules that need to be completed. This will enable students to plan their course of study so as to be awarded a Nitec or Higher Nitec full certificate automatically upon successful completion of all outstanding modules for the course.
