SPM- 1 credit only courses

By: S.Rajeswary

Some high school students would have done extremely well for SPM, whereas others may not have achieved a good grade. Students who did not perform well in SPM should not shut their world as an end to everything. In fact, there are equal opportunities given to them as a second chance. Normally, the requirements for any Diploma programmes in private colleges is at least 3 credits in SPM.

However, Victoria International College is offering students with only 1 credit in SPM to venture into their Certificate courses. As mentioned above, the college is currently running two courses:

a) Certificate in Hotel and Catering Management

b) Certificate in Airlines and Tourism Management

The duration of this course is only for 12 months and with this certificate, students can see a brighter prospect for higher education. 

The fee details are as below:

Registration fees - RM200

Course fees - RM7600   1st semester - RM 2600

2nd semester - RM2600

3rd semester - RM2400

For the convenience of students, the college has a good monthly installment payment that sums up to RM560  per month that can be stretched to 14 months. Students who pay fees in full upon commencement of course will be entitled to 5% discount on the course fees.

Unfortunately, this course does ot come under the funds of PTPTN, therefore the burden of payment is on parents. Yet, EPF withdrawals and so on can in this case and the college management would be more than happy to assist.

Therefore, all students should keep in mind that the SPM examination is truly crucial for higher learning as loan offers totally depend on good results. For those who do not have a credit in BM, it is advisable to repeat the July paper immediately so that it is possible to regain loan opportunities. 

As the saying, "God will only help those who help themselves."
