Please sponsor a speaker phone for each trainer :). Anker PowerConf New Edition S3 Bluetooth Speakerphone works like a charm.

I hope the government opens up more advanced courses for Skillsfuture credit and subsidy

Tertiary Infotech sponsors a number of nice and chillax intro-level courses that helps to switch languages for mid-career professionals. Dr. Alvin Ang covers the standard curriculum and goes beyond - depending on class size and demographics. The hints how to bridge the gap in practice is well appreciated. (Posted on 12/4/2022)
