Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP)
• One-year programme that offers a practice-oriented curriculum taught by polytechnic lecturers, to better prepare polytechnic-bound N(A) students for entry into relevant Polytechnic Diploma courses.
• Provides an alternative to the Sec 5 year.
• Polytechnic FP students are given provisional places in diploma programmes, subject to them passing all modules in the one-year Polytechnic FP.
Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP)
• Requirement for students to at least pass all modules is to ensure that students continue to work hard during their FP year and enhance their preparedness for polytechnic studies. Students who apply effort should have no difficulties in meeting the requirement.
• Cater to students in the top 10% of the Sec 4N(A) cohort.
Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP)
• Eligibility Criteria• ELMAB3 (English, Math, Best 3 Subjects) raw
aggregate score of 11 points or better (excluding CCA bonus points) at the GCE ‘N’-Level examination

Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP)
• The PFP is also available to Secondary 4 Normal (Academic) students who have sat for GCE ‘O’-Level subjects.
• These students are allowed to combine their ‘N’- and ‘O’-Level examination results to compute their eligibility.
• If a student takes the same subject at both ‘N’ and ‘O’ Levels, only the better grade will be computed into his or her aggregate.
