Recognition is a series of separate decisions. NUS and NTU publish their diploma-entry lists, and no commercial private institution appears on them. For Employment Pass purposes, MOM awards zero COMPASS points for non-degree PEI qualifications. We checked who awards the qualification rather than who teaches it, and read the published admission lists before enrolment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outcome<\/strong>The family switched to a UK university degree delivered in Singapore before paying a deposit. The son holds an award that scores COMPASS points and meets the Public Service accreditation test \u2014 neither of which the diploma would have done.
