Its true, the Diploma is given with 1 pass A/L. but when you go for the job opportunities it will be very difficult to find the job, so make sure every one who are the appliers you have either 3 passes or not.but you can apply this course and study while you sit A/L and get 3 passes and go with this diploma to OUSL and u can get one year exceptionable, means from level 3 you can fellow your bachelor of science
for everyone who looking for agriculture diploma,
I’m a diploma holder in National Diploma in Technology.
I’m now working with agriculture department as Agriculture Instructor.when i facing my interview i so many student who had taken diploma had not selected.because they have not passed A/L’s in 3 subjects.so if you a looking 4 government job by getting diploma in agriculture,pls make shire that you have to pass A/L in 3 subjects.although Agriculture department given diploma they don’t do it in good manner to help to children.in Advanced Technical Institute,Naiwala(i learned their)giving 3 years diploma in English medium and also in Ampara.if u don’t pass A/L u cant enroll with NDT(Agri) diploma.
