Hi guys! I just want to ask if you know where can I check the list of accredited degrees, colleges and universities in Singapore. Because just last month my S pass got rejected with remarks on my credentials/qualification and the declared occupation as a veterinaty technician didnt match with my degree as a medical technologist. But they have an employee there also witj the same degree as I have working as a vet technician. So probably it's about my degree and college not being accredited in Singapore. The MOM didn't further specify what problem they found on my credentials/qualifications. So Im trying to check if my degree and college is accredited so that next year if ever I'll come back i would know already. So that i wont waste money and time again going there knowing that mt degree and college isn't accredited in Singapore. Thank you in advance for the people who will respond to this.

Only medical accredited degrees are published, from what I know
Rest depends on how cooperative the institute is, when asked to verify, and how many fakes exist.

Many countries are open about which academic institutions and courses are recognised so you may want to check whether yours is on their lists. If not, then its probably not on Singapore's list either.

Over the last few years, Singapore has learnt to mistrust a lot overseas degrees

I am not sure what OP stands to gain by starting two threads with the same questions. What might happen is the one of the threads get trashed for cluttering up the board. It appears that OP didn't like what he read on the 1st thread so thought he'd try again.

NB: I thought is was only Sub-Continentals who pulled that stuff. Looks like I'm wrong this time. This one is from the 'peens. Squirrel, have a ball.
