if the program sucks, i suggest you transfer to a decent school for the final year. even if you had to pay for it on your own.
a lot of resumes get ignored because of which school they graduated from.

The thing is.. its the only 1 in SG.
I'm still waiting for the 4th Uni to be up, i believe they'll offer more comprehensive health care cost.

Heheh not every country has easy emigration standards like us :X
On a more serious note, a diploma in physio most probably won't get you out of this country.

are diplomas recognized in the US?
maybe you'll get 1-2 yr worth of credits toward BSc (or BA?) but I don't know if they'll count it as qualifications. you should probably check that.
uh... just saw the website and wtf is this, you study for 3 yrs and you only get a diploma? I'd just take BSc course somewhere else.

Anyway to me its just to open more doors thats all. Most of my education comes from Strengthcoach.com and DVD that i buy from PB.

Smart move. There IS a demand for physiotherapists. Take the cert and use it, don't waste it like some people.
