Dun study in OUM. I study in OUM for 1 year and i am very regret about it because there are only 3 tutorial in one semester and the online tutor is always busy with something else and reply your message very slowly. I always study myself and did not get much help from OUM and the exam is very difficult. All is subjective and only pretty of them is in objective. I recommend PLT Institute Batu Pahat because got a lot of practical and got 8 tutorial for one semester.

First of all, thank you for replying.
But PLT Institute is a polytechnic institution right? I want to study a degree and I want to know is it recognized worldwide, as I hope to study abroad with that degree.

Please note by 2nd year onwards, most OUM learners already familiarize and adapted to OUM's e-learning will by this time already quite independent in managing their own self study. From feedback by F2F tutors, usually learners during the 1st year will attend most of the weekend tutorials, by 2nd year onwards most learners will rarely go to tutorials and instead choose self learning route.

Most students I met and interacted with did learn new things as their studies progressed year by year. If you expected OUM to spoonfed its learners you are highly mistaken. OUM is all for independent learning.

At the end its all boiled down to individuals. If one really strive and overcome hurdles, one can learn new useful things even from mistakes.

What is the point of getting a cert that did not have tutor supports?I am studying in OUM and if i encounter problem, there is nothing help from OUM. The etutor did not reply my question and tutor is just kind of master and phd from some third class university and their professional is not suited to my subject. They cant even open a software that requires to programming. Seriously, dun pick OUM if you want to learn something from face to face tutorial. Like i say, there are only 3 tutorial in one semester and one tutorial only have 2 hours . That means you only have 6 hours to learn from tutor for the subject you enroll. The online forum they provide basically cant help you at all because the etutor is all calefe. I complain so much times and all the etutor and tutor they hired still kind of suck. If you are students that need guides when studying, dun enroll OUM. You will learn nothing. Typically, after i get my cert for degree, i woun consider oum for studying master because I need help from tutor during studying. I heard their master tutorial have been reduced from 5 to 4 per semester. But all you need is a cert that recognized by government and you dun expect to learn anything, maybe you can try OUM .But remember OUM exam is not simple, but one good thing is that the exam question are coming from modules. That means if you really study module then you will get good result but the points is that you need to understand the modules.Trust me, it is very hard to understand without a good and full time tutorial.

Good news. For those want a degree cert and dun expected to learn anything from proper tutorial, can enroll to OUM because now OUM has change program structure . For example, degree of business admin only 5 subjective final for the whole course. That is means u only need study hard for 5 semester and each subjective final for each semester, then the rest semester, you can goyang kaki and score d because all final are objective except five subjects.

It is important to know an university culture before you enroll to its course. Trust me if you want to learn knowledge and good guide from tutor during studying period then dun pick oum. OUM is for part time learner, as for those got job and want to upgrade their cert. OUM basically just provide a module and exam to assess then nothing more. All your learning you got to depend on yourself because the oum tutors in tutorial and etutor from e forum is all part time. They would not help you when you got question. Their ecrm is just a platform for you to relieve your angry and frustration. I complains so many time to ecrm because the e tutor did not reply my question but nothing done by OUM. The tutor and etutor i encounter still does not help much during my studies. When i got question in studying module, I will ask in forum but no one responses.The e chat that OUM introduces is just a joke. I enter e chat every times but no one show up . Only few students log in e chat and even e tutor did not show up. In conclusion, OUM only provide module and exam and you got to do all the learning on yourself and nothing provided by OUM will help you. That is why I advice those who want to proper learning from university , dun pick OUM. But the only thing that i feel great in OUM is that there is a module for each subjects that you took and the exam is fully from the module. That means you dun need to study extra teaching resources to score good mark. I once study pre U in Nirwana college for studying medicine in russia in future. There are no module in each subject and the tutorial also did not teach much. I suffer more there than OUM because i basically dun know what to study during learning period in Nirwana college. Please dun pick private college that are no name in market.

Yes. It'd better if you make a formal complain via email directly to the HOD (head of department) of the particular staff so action could be taken.

Can you give the email address of head of department of IT? I just made a complain at ecrm and they just ask me to use tutor rating system which i already used . They just wish me good luck for the final exam. Nothing much done by them.

Are you having problem with face to face tutor or e-tutor? If face to face tutor, you better meet your LC's Director to review the performance of that tutor. OTOH, if it involves E-Tutor, you may still needed to fill the tutor rating system OR you may contact AP Dr Nantha (Program Director for BIT) at his email: nanthakumar@oum.edu.my

Can you give Batu Pahat learning center director email? I am facing problems with both e tutor and face to face tutor because he is appointed as face to face tutor and e tutor in the same time.
