I am interested to pursue a qualification in Computer Networking and the internship component of this course caught my attention. The school is equipped with facilities to aid student’s learning. I enjoy the events organized by the school for the students. I would recommend Informatics if someone wants to study IT in Singapore as they have good learning resources and lecturers.

K. D. Kavindu Githsara Kiriarachchi (Advanced Diploma in Network and Computer Technology)

I chose to study at Informatics Academy is because I found the programme not only teaches programing language but also game engineering. I was motivated by lecturers who are passionate about teaching and they know how to lead students well. The Gaming industry is getting bigger and bigger, so learning both game design and 3D animation will help develop my career well in the future.

Kim Bosung (International Advanced Diploma in Gaming and Animation Technology)

The reason that I took up this program is due to my interest and passion in games development. I believe that the modules that I learnt will greatly assist me in future for amateur game development in the gaming industry.

Another reason why I chose Informatics Academy is because they are located at a great location within the National Library Building which is a conducive environment to study.
