The audit involved interviews with our staff, students, and stakeholders. We\u00a0sincerely appreciate\u00a0the time and commitment shown by everyone who\u00a0participated. We are pleased to share that we have\u00a0complied with\u00a0the audit requirements and look forward to further strengthening the quality of our\u00a0pre-university Foundation\u00a0Programme, Diploma in Accounting, and Diploma in\u00a0Creative\u00a0Multimedia Production.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our academic counsellors and academic staff have also received many enquiries about\u00a0programme\u00a0selection. At DISTED, we understand that every student has unique learning styles, aspirations, and pathways to consider. For those who already know they want to pursue a university degree, it is important to reflect on your preferred learning approach. If you excel in exams, A Levels may be the right fit; if you prefer continuous assessment and\u00a0hands-on\u00a0learning, then SACE is a strong\u00a0option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are still exploring your interests and want the flexibility to study a broad range of subjects, our Foundation\u00a0programmes\u00a0offer a balanced and exploratory route. And for students who are career\u2011focused but still undecided on a specific industry, our diploma\u00a0programmes\u00a0provide flexibility, accessibility, and relevance\u2014giving you the freedom to transition from entrepreneurial pursuits to professional pathways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We have\u00a0also received many enquiries from students waiting for their SPM results\u2014students who are eager to grow, learn, and discover the right career direction. Our\u00a0programmes\u00a0are designed precisely for this stage of exploration, helping you build confidence while charting a future that fits your goals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span

to announce the successful completion of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) Maintenance Audit, held on 26 and 27 February. This accomplishment reflects our commitment to academic quality, institutional integrity, and continuous improvement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The audit covered three key programmes: Foundation in Arts, Diploma in Accounting, and Diploma in Creative Multimedia Production. Its purpose was to verify that our academic structures, teaching practices, and governance processes\u00a0comply with\u00a0the standards set by MQA. Although an expected part of institutional assurance, the exercise served as a meaningful evaluation of our quality framework and the robustness of our academic operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This success is the result of strong teamwork. Lecturers, programme leaders, and administrative staff worked diligently to ensure that programme documentation was\u00a0accurate, processes were coherent, and constructive alignment between course and programme learning outcomes adhered to COPPA requirements. Their efforts highlight the dedication and professionalism of the DISTED community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The positive engagement and encouraging feedback provided by the auditors affirmed the strength of our systems and the quality of our practices. Most importantly, this achievement\u00a0benefits\u00a0our students. It reassures them and their families that their programmes meet national standards, remain relevant to industry needs, and uphold academic rigour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While we celebrate this milestone, we recognise that quality assurance is an ongoing responsibility. The audit reinforces our foundation as we move forward with renewed commitment to delivering excellence in higher education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color:

about marketing concepts in the classroom, but our recent trip to Genting Highlands showed us what those ideas look like in real life. In early February, our class of seven students, accompanied by Mr Yee Tianle, travelled up the highlands for a practical learning experience focused on understanding Resorts World Genting\u2019s marketing strategies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The six\u2011hour journey was long, and rain greeted us when we arrived, but we were still excited to begin. With raincoats on, we made our way into Genting SkyWorlds. Experiencing attractions like Acorn Adventure and the Terraform Tower Challenge helped us understand how storytelling, design and customer experience influence the way a theme park markets itself. While enjoying the rides, we also took photos and videos for our assignments.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When the outdoor park closed, we moved indoors to SkyAvenue and Skytropolis. Here, we paid attention to visual merchandising, branding and how different spaces guide visitors through retail areas. We also enjoyed searching for a good dinner spot while gathering observations for our coursework. The cable car ride later that night gave us a calm moment to appreciate the highland scenery.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Checking into First World Hotel was another memorable part of the trip. The long queue, the busy lobby and the maze\u2011like hallways made us realise how challenging it must be to manage the world\u2019s largest hotel.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although the weekend was full of unexpected moments, it was an eye\u2011opening learning experience. We gained practical insights, strengthened our teamwork and left Genting with a deeper understanding of marketing beyond the classroom.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tan Ji Shuen, <\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Student, Foundation in Arts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e7f81b2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e7f81b2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8629c77\" data-id=\"8629c77\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abbe619 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"abbe619\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u2060A Level vs Foundation Programme<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-37d6db1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"37d6db1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a05eca2\" data-id=\"a05eca2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-312740a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"312740a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After completing secondary school, students often face the\u00a0important decision\u00a0of choosing between A\u2011Levels and Foundation studies. While both pathways open the door to university, each offers a different academic experience suited to different learning needs and goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A\u2011Levels are known for their emphasis on subject depth and critical thinking. This structure can\u00a0benefit\u00a0students who enjoy analytical learning and wish to build a strong understanding of specific subjects. Former A\u2011Level student Sameera Salim shared that the guidance she received motivated her to work consistently, helping her achieve straight As. Students such as Tan Jonas (Taylor\u2019s University) and K. Pravina (Universiti\u00a0Malaya) also reflected that the academic style of A\u2011Levels supported their transition into demanding university programmes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Foundation programmes, on the other hand, offer a quicker and more structured route into undergraduate study. The curriculum is typically broader, allowing students to explore subjects relevant to their intended degree while developing practical academic skills. This pathway may suit students who prefer continuous assessment, coursework\u2011based\u00a0learning\u00a0and a clearer progression into a specific field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Both A\u2011Levels and Foundation programmes provide valuable preparation for higher education. The difference lies in their pace, teaching\u00a0style\u00a0and academic focus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The best choice depends on the student\u2019s interests, confidence in specific subjects and the type of learning environment in which they thrive. With the right guidance, either pathway can lead to a successful and fulfilling university journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Vilashini\u00a0Kandaiah,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lecturer, School of Pre\u2011University Studies\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba316c9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba316c9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e498bdb\" data-id=\"e498bdb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-285524e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"285524e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Inside Our Psychology Classroom: Energy, Ideas and Inspiration<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7251d2a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7251d2a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c8242e4\" data-id=\"c8242e4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-41f2156 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"41f2156\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Discourse-Pic-Inside-Our-Psychology-Classroom-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-47231\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Discourse-Pic-Inside-Our-Psychology-Classroom-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Discourse-Pic-Inside-Our-Psychology-Classroom-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Discourse-Pic-Inside-Our-Psychology-Classroom-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Discourse-Pic-Inside-Our-Psychology-Classroom-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Discourse-Pic-Inside-Our-Psychology-Classroom-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-37d19a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"37d19a3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd4fc4a\" data-id=\"bd4fc4a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57aae4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"57aae4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A simple group photo with my students often reminds me that teaching Psychology is not only about delivering content but about building genuine connection and shared experience. At DISTED College, I aim to create a learning environment where curiosity is encouraged, ideas are exchanged openly and students feel supported to explore concepts beyond what appears in their notes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Psychology comes alive when students participate actively. Whether we are unpacking Freud\u2019s psychoanalytic theories or discussing Aaron Beck\u2019s cognitive principles, the lessons extend beyond explanation. We use role\u2011plays, debates, case discussions and interactive tasks to help students relate<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">theories to real\u2011world situations. Moments of laughter during quizzes or group challenges are common, yet beneath the fun lies meaningful learning and strong engagement.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What makes the classroom dynamic is the enthusiasm my students bring. They ask thoughtful questions, offer personal insights with maturity and support their peers during discussions. The result is a safe, energetic environment where everyone feels seen and valued.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to academic content, I incorporate extra activities to strengthen motivation and keep learning enjoyable. These shared experiences help students build confidence, communication skills and teamwork\u2014qualities that last long after graduation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Psychology journey at DISTED is more than earning a qualification. It is about growing intellectually and personally, developing empathy and critical thinking, and learning to understand people and themselves. That group photo represents more than a class; it captures a community of learners growing together.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thiresyinie A\/P Tamil

students with both theoretical and practical skills that support future careers in computing. Through the Computer Architecture and Organisation module, students in the Bachelor of Information Technology (Data Analytics) programme gain a structured understanding of how computer hardware operates within a system.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The module introduces core hardware components such as the CPU, RAM, storage devices, motherboards and power supply units. Students learn how to identify each component\u2019s key features, including capacity, connector types and compatibility requirements. This helps them understand how individual parts interact to support efficient system performance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A solid understanding of hardware is essential for effective troubleshooting, system design and maintenance. Students who can recognise component functions and requirements are better<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">prepared to diagnose issues, recommend upgrades and ensure system stability. Practical exposure also helps them appreciate the importance of correct installation and proper power distribution.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Beyond technical knowledge, this module supports students\u2019 long-term development. Careers in IT, system administration, cybersecurity and software engineering often require an understanding of the hardware layer that supports software and digital operations. By learning about available hardware options and current technology trends, students strengthen their analytical and decision\u2011making abilities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Overall, this learning experience plays a key role in preparing DISTED College students for both academic advancement and real industry expectations by reinforcing their understanding of hardware systems and their applications in modern computing.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Aina Syazwani Binti Shaharin Lecturer, <\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a\u4e0e\u5de5\u7a0b\u5b66\u9662<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e2e0672 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e2e0672\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ebf9b1c\" data-id=\"ebf9b1c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee04d65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ee04d65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Celebrating Chinese New Year at DISTED College<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-89aa2a9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"89aa2a9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7800f3a\" data-id=\"7800f3a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0e75c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e0e75c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-23-at-13.16.31-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-47240\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-23-at-13.16.31-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-23-at-13.16.31-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-23-at-13.16.31.jpeg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-92997e2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"92997e2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e58204\" data-id=\"8e58204\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abc585e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abc585e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">February brings with it the warmth of celebration, the arrival of spring, and a renewed sense of cultural appreciation.
