yeah, a foundtion year
Why don't u choose Taylor College? Will have more choices and better education, perhaps. Coz SIBT and MCQ city campus 's Foundation Year are just so so. And if u wanna attend 1st year at MQ after completing a Foundation year, u have 2 choose the MCQ city campus's Foundation year, not SIBT's.

At the moment im doing year 11 i realised the subjects i chose will not get me the marks for the course i want in uni thats why im considering going straight to foundation and then completing a diploma in commerce at sibt then hopefully transferring to mq. Is not completing yr 12 a disadvantage for me in the future? ill still have all my university diplomas and certificates etc.. just no atar

Cafee, where r u from?
I'm from VN and I only need to successfully complete year 11 in my country to get to SIBT (cert IV)
If u complete year 12 before transfering here, u don't need to take cert IV.

Hey, I was in a similar situation to you and I decided to forgo completing year 12 and now I'm currently at SIBT studying a Certificate IV University Foundation Studies streamed in Commerce. So firstly you must complete a Cert IV then complete a diploma which will allow you to transfer into the 2nd year of your desired degree provided you have the required GPA.

Hey not many people there's about 4 people who dropped out after year 11, but when I initially spoke to a person at SIBT who took care of enrolments she said alot of people were interested by unfortunately couldn't enrol due to the cost of the course.
