What is your diploma course name? It is hard for us to help you if you are unwilling to tell us. Without that course name, we just merely can tell you what we know.

Your diploma is under PTPTN list. So nothing to be worried about. Your intended degree programs are also under PTPTN loan scheme. As for LAN, nothing to worries. If you works in private sector, most of them will not even bothered to ask.

Wat does tat mean with Accredition ends? Mean the assesment of the courses are completed or the accredition have to renew again? Is LAN only does matter if u want to work in govt sector?

I noticed that most of you are concerning of LAN or any accreditation issues, why can;'t you look into the quality of your studies, and is the program really help you in long run?

I have replied your PM
Yes, I understood what you said. But then, we don't how, when or where our future is. Some of us might ends up with government agencies. And they looks into it.
And this is because, some of us afraid that the courses that they are currently taking is "Paper Terbang", where you don't trust them and their teaching stuff.
There are many other issues that are more important that all of us must acknowledge, not only LAN accreditation.

accreditation assessment does not apply forever. look at it as a method of keeping track that what they teach/education that they give in those institutions are according to the standard that have been set by the industry (which includes both government and private). although LAN is government, the assessment of each courses are conducted by respected professionals (both gvment and private). once they agree that everything offered is in order, they'll award accreditation.

accreditation is a tedious process, where the assessors will have to go through each and every detail they have. this includes going through virtually every paper submitted by students, projects, exams, exam questions, group works, presentation and so on. accreditation is only valid for 5 years. after that, the institution is responsible to renew it, by setting up another assessment for their school to get accreditation for the next 5 years.

and so on, and so forth. it's a check and balance system. imagine ur parents checking up on ur homework every 5 hours...

i think u'd have to acknowledge the fact that all sponsors and loans in malaysia requires the students to enrol into accredited courses. that was the primary concern of most whom discussed in this particular thread. i'm sure if they have the money they'd be studying atleast in australia by now.

also, the main concern with most students going to tertiery education is that they are not aware of the standards of education. PMR, SPM, STPM is all the same everywhere. so as A-levels, matrics, int. baccalaurette etc. but law in UIA is definitely different from UM. architecture in LUCT is of totally different standard from UTM. the question that pops to their mind is, "why is it different? cant u have one standard for all? will i learn more here or there? what about job prospects?" etc.

i'm sure u're aware of all these questions.

If the LAN expired,will it be dangerous?Scare no one recognised the certificate.How about Curtin

dangerous? no it wont kill u if that's what u think.

lets say u will finish ur degree in 2007. the school accreditation expires in 2006. if the school did not get themselves reaccredited, u'll find urself graduating with a non-accredited degree. in such cases, it will REALLY depends on ur seniors' reputation.

if they have good reputation, it'll be easier for u to get a job. but i cant say the same if u want to continue ur studies (ie, diploma -> degree).

I see and thanks for your clarification. Seniors reputation you mean those seniors that graduated from that uni is it?


One more question. Is double major courses offered by Curtin approve by LAN?

Anybody answer please

check at www.lan.gov.my if it is there,then it is accredited,if not sorry man

what courses that is acredited by LAN in UTAR? smoneone knows please tell me..

It's not true that PTPTN gives out loans to accredited programmes ONLY.

Although PTPTN announced that they will only give out loans for accredited programmes only from July 2006 submission onwards, there have been cases where they do provide PTPTN loan to courses that has minimum standards.

You have rightly pointed out that even very well run programmes that has minimum standard approval can't get accreditation until they have run the full programme (they have final year students graduating).

However, LAN does give out provisional accreditation, for minimum standards. This is recognised by PTPTN. They do provide loans for courses that receive provisional accreditation, even for those courses that have been recently approved with minimum standards.

Simple, just check the LAN website. www.lan.gov.my

Do note that UTAR is a relatively new university and may not have many accredited programmes. But they have provisional accreditation anyway....which allows for PTPTN loan applications.

How do i know whether an overseas degree is approved by LAN or JPA?
Also, how to get the correspondance letter from LAN/JPA? How to apply for that? Pls help
