I had check up a few private colleges locally. Found that the price had not agree with wat is mention above. It costs much more than wat is mentioned. Around 18k.
I think many of us would be glad if there is a list of fees for the pre-U courses.

The course fees are increasing years by years and it's impossible for us to list out the fees because we couldn't get it as easy as you think.We can't even check through online and the fees sometimes doesnt include the examination fees so please understand.
Sorry and thank you.

SAM is recognised in most overseas countries and also in local private universities...
Obviously SAM is done in M'sia unless one would opt to do it overseas...
However,after ending the course,one could further their studies abroad or locally depends on their TER...

I think it is expensive because it is faster than foundation. SAM only takes 9months

actually i find its not faster as they finish exams in november and results come out in jan the next year. if your going to australia in august its good but all other countries take students in sept thus there is a long wait.
there are some foundations that begin in jan and end by sept thus saving a year but its for specific programmes like medicine
if i have to wait till the next year for entry id rather a levels or if i can save time foundation
