Procedure for applying :
All international students / agents email the applicant’s complete documents (mentioned above) to PATS Academy.
PATS Academy will assess the entry requirements and will recommend for the course by issuing an Offer Letter. This may be conditional based on visa approval for international student. (Please note that an Offer Letter does not constitute to admission into a program, but merely acknowledgement of eligibility to apply)
Student / Agent acknowledges that they accept the offer, non-objection or non-response shall be considered an implied acceptance of the offer. Solar numbers or other personal data are not released to protect the personal data and visa of the applicant. If the applicant or their representatives do not accept the conditions, they may opt to object or halt the application at this stage. Upon accepting the offer they are authorizing the college to proceed with the application based on information provided by the applicant or their representatives.
The application shall be processed by the admissions department of Trent Global College. This process may take 1 to 2 weeks to submit to ICA. ICA takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks to process each application. Please note that with a high volume of applications the maximum processing time may reach from 6 to 8 weeks. Within this period of time there may be no updates until we receive results of application from ICA.
Once an application is approved a NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL is sent. We do not send screenshots of the application or edit the IPAs of students. This practice is not allowed by law. The official notification from the college shall be sufficient notice. Student may (and should) check with college to know if they are genuinely approved.
A reminder for Zoom Briefing prior to payment is sent to all approved applicants. After finishing the Zoom Briefing, the payment information will be sent to students via email to proceed with payment of fees.
Once payment is confirmed (assigned to student) and enrolled into the Student Management System, a Student Contract will be generated and dated the same date as the payment. Sending the contract and reviewing contents and returning back to college may take a few days. Please allow 3 to 4 working days for this step of the process.
Once signed Student Contract is received, the college may then process for student to arrive. We will purchase FPS for the student and allocate the intake according to the contract. Only then will the IPA be released. Please do not rush for IPA releasing as this is the last and final step before arrival in Singapore. IPA will always be released BEFORE the course commencement date. So do not worry!

An arrival document (TRENT ARRIVAL DOCUMENT) is sent with the IPA with the complete instructions on what to do upon arrival and the necessary steps to be taken for arrival in Singapore.

Internships are part of the course and the college ASSISTS students in securing companies wherein to do their internship / OJT. This is not the obligation of the colleges but a service provided by the colleges to provide a better learning experience.
We wish for all students to have a fruitful and enjoyable experience when coming to Singapore, be vigilant and do your due diligence before committing to studying in Singapore! See you all soon!
