For final-year students in secondary schools and ITEs, choosing a course to study in your tertiary education institution can be exciting and stressful. With many options available, it can be difficult to know which one fits both your interests and abilities, but there are steps you can take to guide you through your selection. One such way is participating in PSB Academy’s Early Admissions Exercise (EAE).
Why Apply for PSB Academy’s EAE
Unlike conventional EAE processes, PSB Academy’s EAE offers free trial classes for successful applicants to attend until their final examination results are released, with the trial classes contributing to the total attendance of the programme. This presents a great opportunity for you to start and earn attendance on a programme you may like while you wait for your results. And you can change your mind if you feel that the course does not suit you. Through this, you will be empowered to make an informed decision about your future studies and career path.
