Course advising

For general course advising, applicants may make an appointment online with one of our Education & Career Guidance (ECG) Counsellors.

The offer of an ITE course to applicants is subject to them being physically, medically and mentally fit to pursue the course. This is to ensure that all students can benefit from ITE training in a safe and conducive environment.

Applicants or students assessed by ITE as being unfit can be withdrawn from the course. Where appropriate, they may be considered for other courses if there are suitable ones. The Learning Accessibility Office (LAO) at each ITE College will provide support to students with special educational needs in their learning process at ITE.

Applicants with special educational needs are strongly encouraged to seek prior academic course advising from the respective College(s) before selecting their choice of application.

Deferment of National Service (NS) for NS-liable males

NS-liable males will be granted NS deferment for the pursuit of full-time studies at pre-university government-funded institutions including ITE if they attain a place and are pursuing a course for higher academic qualifications from what they have previously attained (e.g. from N/O Levels to Nitec/Higher Nitec, from Nitec to Higher Nitec or from Nitec/Higher Nitec to ITE Work-Study Diploma/Technical Engineer Diploma/Technical Diploma courses) and NS deferment will no longer be subject to cut-off ages. For latest updates on NS deferment eligibility and policy, you can visit https://for.edu.sg/ns-deferment. Students who are not eligible for NS deferment will need to withdraw from the course that they are enrolled in.
