excuse me, foundation is lower than STPM. foundation is only acceptable to the school that offers it. STPM on the other hand allows u to study practically anywhere, in msia or abroad.back to TS' question:
it depends on the job. STPM is a general education certificate. it's not anything specific. diploma on the other hand is a basic training in a specific area or field. diploma should be seen as having both feet on the first step of a profession, while STPM is just about deciding which staircase to choose.
