Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it typically take to complete a diploma course?
The duration of the diploma programmes at Quill is 4 to 12 months. These condensed courses are structured to cover essential content within a shorter timeframe.
Why are private diploma programmes in Singapore shorter in duration?
Private diploma courses are designed to be more focused, covering core subjects relevant to the field. This allows graduates to gain industry-ready skills and progress to the next level of education within a shorter period.
What can I do after completing a diploma at Quill Learning?
Graduates can choose to enter the workforce or continue their education. Diploma holders can progress directly into undergraduate degree programmes with our partner universities in Australia, New Zealand, United States, Japan and the United Kingdom (online or oncampus).
Are private diplomas recognised by employers in Singapore?
Yes, private diplomas are recognised by many employers in Singapore, but the level of recognition often depends on the awarding institution and its accreditation. Employers generally look at:
- Accreditation and Regulation: Diplomas regulated by international or national qualification bodies (such as Ofqual and WIQ in the UK for NCC Education) carry stronger recognition because they meet established quality standards.
- Reputation of the Institution: Well-known private institutions and awarding bodies tend to be viewed more favourably.
- Industry Relevance: Employers also value whether the diploma equips graduates with skills that match job requirements.
- Progression Pathways: Diplomas that provide clear routes to higher education (e.g., bachelor's degrees with recognised universities) signal quality and credibility.
While some employers may still prioritise public university qualifications, many sectors in Singapore, especially private enterprises, SMEs, and international companies, accept private diplomas when they come from trusted awarding bodies.
Can I get exemptions for diploma courses based on prior work experience or previous studies?
Exemptions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as your years of work experience, highest academic qualification, or completion of National Service may be taken into account. Applicants must provide supporting documents for review during the admission process. While prior experience or qualifications may help you meet the entry requirements, all students are still required to complete the full course curriculum to be awarded the diploma.
