Bro, you confused me la.

[Yaloryalor]

Oh ok, I staying in the east so seldom hear ppl mentioning it.

Wats ur cert? Is is private diploma? Right now job market is quite ok. Should not be too much of a problem unless u hold an unrecognised diploma or major.

 

Heard from my instructor last time that the BBDC instructors have very low pay. Only around 1.5K. Chances of career advancement is almost nil.

unless ur diploma is not recognised, like those part time overseas diploma which really isn't very much relevant...

 

go be a teacher lah... that's provided MOE wants you with so many people now queueing up, the selection criteria is now very much higher compared to a couple of years ago...

[Cheerios]

must see what kind of diploma he has mah?

 

if later, his diploma is from "Marine University"... lol.. that one doesn't even has a website to begin with....

Wonder how much are the 'private' instructors earning vs the instructors from the driving centres?

[Cheerios]

[Sickscientist]

Joking la hor... Whats ur qualification btw?? In what field I mean..

Actually I came across this advertisement in Straits Times inviting fresh poly grad to apply for BBDC instructor. I have wanted to make some comments previously.

 

Experience can only be accumulated over many years of actual hands-on driving on the road. I have been driving every day for the last 12 years, accumulated 50% NCD and I feel I still have a lot to learn. The responsibility of a good instructor is not only to teach the student to pass the test but also share some of the valuable driving experience to promote good habits and avoid accidents.

 

Is a fresh 19 year old lad really qualified to teach driving? Most likely the instructor has just passed the driving test himself.
