How much loan (ptptn) can I get if I wanna study at TOA? I want to take the diploma in animation course.. Thanks!

Not sure but I think you can check these information in PTPTN Website.

How is your SPM result?? Have you tried to apply for scholarships?

I got 9 A's.. But somehow for this course, I don't seem to be able to find any scholarships :/

wow!! Nice!!

There are a lot of scholarships provided like from (Sin Chew / ASTRO / STAR), I often saw them on the newspapers..

(I mean the scholarships which are applicable on any type of course, i think so. )

last time Rm25k

wow what? PTPTN loan RM25k? Unbelievable..

By the way, is PTPTN still available for 2012 SPM students?

no idea

hi every1. wanna ask a little opinion. i'm interested in taking diploma in illustration at the one academy. but after i got 7a in spm, my dad really wants me to take engineering. should i take illustration, which has always been my passion or engineering like my father told me to? my dad always try to talk me out my choice like talking about job prospect n stuffs. what's ur guys' opinions?

aiming for ur passion is correct. but u must think issit becasuse u like to draw thats why u think u wan to take diploma in illustration? bczo i have alot of friends who join illustration and find that they just like to treat drawing as hobby but not a job forever.

haha. u sound like me back when i was done with SAM in taylors. i wanted take graphic design in TOA but my dad ended up asking me do engineering. well cant argue with dad cuz he paying not me so engineering lo. 4 years later. i think i'm gonna enroll in TOA for digital animation at the age of 23. in the end its up to u. did engineering and didnt enjoy it cuz i guess i wasnt doing something i want. its either u choose what u want to do or whats convenient for you to do. ur call bro XD all the best

and he's right too XD

drawing has always been my passion. sometimes i even draw during classes in my secondary school days. despite being a science stream student, i had no interest in science, especially when it comes to biology n chemistry. physics is a different story though coz i love physics. i always want to be an illustrator so that's why i choose illustration, though my dad won't let me to choose it.

sounds good. but how about drawing skills? cuz i not confident in my drawing but then they need portfolio and stuff when entering. are their expectations high? and if dun draw very well they'll reject you?

i heard that if you take diploma, then they will teach you the basics of drawing. Some of TOA students were weak in drawing when they started attending TOA but after learning the basics, they can draw like a pro. But then again, it depends on whether you are serious when learning the basics or not.

yup very serious about it. so they wont reject even if i cant draw very well la?

LOL OF COURSE! If u are good already what for you study there?

don worry, they keep ur work just to compare before and after.

My friend loan 20k for this course (the rest her parent covered). Working for 3 years, she still couldn't pay all her loan with meager amount of pay this market provide.

i guess depends. in msia market i guess still not mature. but sg there are a lot of design, movie and game developing companies. a work in progress i guess. anyway its better to work something u enjoy than working something u dun enjoy

I want to ask something, do TOA accepts digital artwork (digital portfolio)?? Or it must be traditional art?
