Q.1. Why should I Choose Axismatics?


Axismatics is the ONLY Institute in Malaysia offering the unique Fellow of British Dispensing Opticians (FBDO) Program and Diploma in Retail Management Program. Both of these programs are very unique and our graduates will venture into a very rewarding career.

 

Q.2. What are those programmes your Institute is offering now?

 

We offer two programmes at the moment. The first one is the FBDO Program and the second one is the Diploma in Information Technology. Please browse our Academic Programmes section for more information

 

Q.3. How can I register to study this course?

 

You can download our application form or we can send one copy to you. Just fill in the application form and enclose a bank draft/cheque of RM150 registration fees and send them to us together with your SPM/O-LEVEL/UEC results.

 

Q.4. Do you accept SPM forecast / trial exam result?

 

Yes, we accept your SPM forecast / trial exam / form 5 results for admission. Nevertheless, you still need to submit your actual SPM/O-LEVEL/UEC result when you get it.

 

Q.5. Do you offer scholarships and study loan?

 

Yes, we offer both scholarships and study loans. A few Optical companies are also sponsoring their staff/students to take up the FBDO program at our Institute. You could also apply for KOJADI Study Loan to study at our Institute.  A few other local banks also provide study loans for our students.

 

Q.6. What are the criteria for applying the scholarships/study loans?

 

Basically, if you get 5A and above in your SPM/UEC/O-Level, you are qualified to apply for some forms of scholarships. If you have more than 2A, then we might consider giving out a study loan to you if you also fulfill other requirements. We could send you a copy of the criteria for application for more details.

 

Q.7. Are your programmes recognized by the Malaysia Government/Industry/Professional Bodies?

 

Yes, the FBDO Qualification is recognized by the Malaysian Optical Council for registration as a licensed Optician in Malaysia. Some Commonwealth countries also recognize the FBDO qualification.

 

Q.8. What are the job prospects as an Optician?

 

The job prospect as an Optician is excellent. As Malaysia is currently very short of Opticians, and so any of our graduates will be grabbed by the Optical companies and offered with lucrative employment package, even before they graduate from the FBDO program.

 

Q.9. How much can an Optician earn?

 

A very interesting question indeed. Nowadays, in average, our fresh FBDO graduates (average 22 years old) are each offered a basic monthly salary of between RM2500 to about RM3000 plus other incentives. We guess this is the highest starting salary in the job market, if you compare to other fresh university graduates from Business, IT, Engineering, Law, MBA, or even medical degrees. Because Opticians offer professional eye-care services, and so they deserve higher pay.  After one to two years working as Opticians, most of our graduates could receive about RM3000 to RM4000 basic monthly salary plus incentives.

 

Q.10. Who could take up the FBDO program?

 

Any students who have at least a SPM/UEC/O-Level qualification and also fulfill other entry requirements. In fact, we have quite a number of local and foreign universities' graduates take up the FBDO program at our Institute, partly because they are interested in this program, and partly because they finally realize that it is better to obtain some professional qualification instead of just getting a common university degree.

 

Q.11. What is the course fee for the FBDO program?

 

The tuition fee is RM4290 per semester. There are a total of 6 semesters of studies. The total cost of studies is about RM37,000 inclusive of tuition fees, internal and external exam fees, etc.

 

Q.12. Do you have any student hostel?

 

Yes, we have student hostels - single, twin-sharing, and trio-sharing rooms. The monthly rental per person is between RM150-RM200. Please reserve the hostel room earlier as it is on the first come first serve basis.

 

Q.13. Do you accept international students?

 

Sorry, we do not accept international students.
