Why Choose SMa School of Management
In Singapore, there are over 200 commercial schools offering various courses at the certificate, diploma, bachelor and postgraduate level. With each school staking the claim that they offer the best programmes available, making the right decision may be a daunting task. While we might be tempted to enroll for the most affordable or the shortest programme available, it is important to consider some of the following points before you take the giant leap into your continuing education:
  • The history & reputation of the School
  • Recognition of the qualification by the employers
  • Recognition of the University that is conferring the award
  • Is the programme registered with Ministry of Education (Singapore)
  • Course duration and the delivery structure
  • The availability of financing scheme
  • The types of student services available (student orientation & counseling etc)
  • Is the School accredited by “Case Trust” and "SQC-PEO"

At SMa-SOM, we believe that through education, every individual can realize his/her full potential to benefit the community and to lead a fulfilling & rewarding life. Embarking on a higher education is one of the most important decisions that most of us will make in our life. There is no shortcut to success, a recognized qualification may take a longer duration to compete and may cost slightly more but the extra investment will be well worth the sacrifice. Getting the right qualification will make a big difference between a successful career and a frustrating work life.
