SkillsFuture Series: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to access subsidized culinary training through the SkillsFuture Series to advance your professional cooking skills.

The SkillsFuture Series provides specialized training for those looking to advance their expertise in the culinary arts through subsidized learning programs.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for Singaporeans who are looking to build on their existing knowledge through advanced culinary training. It is intended for individuals who want to deepen their technical skills in specialized areas of the culinary arts to stay competitive in the food and beverage industry.

What you get

Through this series, you can access specialized training in various culinary arts. These programs are designed to offer advanced instruction that goes beyond basic cooking skills, allowing you to master specific techniques or specialized culinary disciplines through subsidized training sessions.

What it costs you

The training is not entirely free, but it is heavily supported by government subsidies. Depending on the specific course, you can receive a subsidy that covers between 70% and 90% of the total cost. This means you will be responsible for paying the remaining out-of-pocket fees to secure your spot in the program.

The catch to know

The most important rule to remember is regarding your attendance. To remain eligible for the government subsidies, you must attend at least 75% of the course. If your attendance falls below this required threshold, you may lose your eligibility for the subsidy and be required to pay the full cost of the training.
