"Polytechnic life is the time when you make many friends, try all sorts of activities and also study hard with coursemates. SP was where I found opportunities for self-development, with the certification programmes and chances for future studies. Being in the NUS Preparatory Programme provided the golden opportunity for me to have a head start as it was my dream and goal to enter NUS after polytechnic."

"As a technical and research organization involved in the practical training and certification of technical IT-security professionals around the world, we know quality and practical focus when we see it, and Singapore Polytechnic's Diploma in Infocomm Security Management (DISM) is most certainly a quality practical diploma programme which equips students with key knowledge required for improving the defensive security posture of private and public sector companies. Consequently, this should give DISM graduates an edge over their peers when they apply for IT-security positions."
