Generally, a foundation programme will be easier than STPM, so calm down... And, what makes you think a diploma is easy? If anything, you should worry that the diploma will be as hard as STPM but since you're in a foundation programme now, I don't see the reason to be anxious any more... As long as it's what you're interested in, you're gonna end up fine most probably. Good luck.

I agree with the reply above. However, what is your planned path if you were allowed to take the diploma? To continue with degree or to work? That would be a real concern. If you go with the foundation route, likely you will have to take the degree program ie. longer time/higher cost.

So, you're being offered a Foundation course to enter into a Business & IT course (degree level I assume) instead of the Diploma in IT that you're originally wanting to take?

You'll need to ask them back first, what comes after the foundation year, and what are your options.

In regards to difficulty, if you're worried about the difficulty of the foundation course, then you should be worried about the difficulty of the diploma as well.
