Yes, you qualified because you fail your O level English once. So u can go register for the course with ITE. Pls take note that you should go down personally to ITE in the evenings, not the daytime one, to seek further advice. Do not try calling. It's better to go down in the evening. Check out the schedule timing and you will know the evening opening hours. Bring along your O level result slip, original IC and payment.[/quote]
Where should I go to if I go down to ITE personally to ask about the details? Also, any ITE college will do?

Hi Joycetyh123,
I have no idea where to direct you. Perhaps when u reach ITE at 7pm, you can ask around where the office is. Please note that I think it would be better for you to go down to College Central to enquire. Good luck.

You are welcome. Meanwhile, continue to listen to BBC news, buy The Straits Times to read the Forum page, Home section and interesting articles of any that appeals to you. Practise doing the past year ten year series on composition and comprehension. The teacher will work through with the class. Buy good model composition books to read, look up words in the dictionary if you are unsure of. Brush up the grammar to help you score more points for composition. Remember to attend all lessons and do all homework assigned by your teacher.

I have another question in mind now. This year would be the last year seab is offering the syllabus I took last year. Will ITE teacher teach that so called ‘OLD’ syllabus ? Or the will teach the new syllabus?

Actually I think it would be your choice to take new or old syllabus. Better check with the teacher there or seek advice from your ex-sec sch teacher when you took your O levels there. The teachers will be able to advise you further.
Please note that the so called ITE teachers who are conducting the evening courses are not the daytime ITE lecturers. The evening teachers are those that work part time in evening, either they are retired MOE teachers or current teachers.
