Unique ‘Works-on, Books-on, Hearts-on™’ College Education

Our holistic education aims to equip you with real-world experience and an all-round development through:

• Works-on training to equip you with employable skill sets

• Books-on learning to develop you into an independent-thinking and highly adaptable individual

• Hearts-on learning to nurture you into an equipped individual who has a passion for what you do, has self-belief and cares for the community and society.

As an NTC student, you’ll get to practise what you have learnt. We integrate theory with practice through coursework, industry exposure, related project works and hands-on experiential learning to enhance your college life with us. Our aim is to equip you to become an all-rounded 'Career-Ready, Life-Ready, Work-Ready and World-Ready' graduate.

Real World, Real Work Learning

Nothing beats learning from real-life professionals. NTC's courses are designed, in close consultation with the industry, to ensure that you are equipped with work-ready skills relevant to changing industry needs when you graduate.

Industry internship is a key part of our College education. You’ll spend three to six months in the industry to gain valuable real work experience and important life skills through the Enhanced Internship Programme under the 'Workplace@College' approach. Our Lecturers will be constantly in touch with you, to ensure the success of your internship experience.

We work with the industry to create authentic learning environments and facilities to mimic the ‘real-world’ future workplace within our Colleges. Through collaboration with industry partners, we have set up various learning facilities like the Healthcare Simulation Training Centre, Hospitality Training Restaurant, and Aerospace Hub. To make your learning more engaging, we have also introduced innovative ways of teaching and learning, through immersive AR and VR technology to simulate an authentic industry environment that is difficult to physically simulate within campuses (e.g. offshore oil rig platform, aircraft/airport). This is what we named as our ‘Workplace@Campus’ learning approach.

Student Life – It’s Not All Work and No Play!

You’ll also enjoy a comprehensive range of learning facilities, such as high-tech learning spaces and digital learning approaches in our modern workshops and laboratories.

For amenities, we provide sports and recreational centres (gym, stadium and swimming pools), and performing arts studios and theatres.
