CPE Funding Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Healthcare professionals in Singapore can access subsidies to help pay for professional certification courses to keep their credentials current.

This scheme provides financial assistance through subsidies to help healthcare workers pay for professional certification courses.

Who it's for

This support is designed specifically for mid-career professionals working within the healthcare sector. It is intended for those who need to keep their professional credentials current or upgrade their skills to meet the demands of the healthcare landscape in Singapore.

What you get

You can receive subsidies to help cover the costs of professional certification courses. These subsidies are designed to make it more affordable for you to engage in continuous professional education, ensuring you stay up to date with industry standards and medical education requirements.

What it costs you

While the subsidies reduce the overall expense of your training, you will need to invest time into the application process. You can manage this process in one of two ways: you can submit a self-nomination to seek the funding, or you can work through your employer to have them handle the nomination on your behalf.

The catch to know

The most important thing to verify before you commit to a training program is the eligibility of the course itself. These subsidies are not universal for all training; the course you intend to take must be an approved course listed within the official skills directory. If the course is not part of this directory, it will not qualify for the funding.

How to apply

  1. Search the official skills directory to ensure the specific professional certification course you are interested in is approved for funding.
  2. Determine whether it is more convenient for you to apply via self-nomination or to coordinate the application through your employer.
  3. Complete the necessary application steps through your employer or via the self-nomination route to secure your subsidy.
