Useful PFP Tips for
N(A)-Level Holders

Get a head start in your poly life!

The Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP) is a one-year programme that offers a practice-oriented curriculum to better prepare you for a polytechnic education. What's more, the PFP serves as an alternative route for you to gain direct entry into Republic Polytechnic!

Instead of preparing for your GCE 'O' Levels, you can use that time to get a head start in your RP journey and prepare yourself for your chosen diploma.
