SkillsFuture Credit (Top-up): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Singaporeans aged 25 and above can receive an additional $500 credit to help pay for approved training courses and skill development.
This scheme provides an additional credit amount to help Singaporeans manage the costs of various training and upskilling courses. It is designed to support lifelong learning by making it easier to afford the education needed to stay competitive in a changing job market.
Who it's for
This top-up is specifically available to Singaporeans who reached the age of 25 or older as of the year 2020. If you meet this age requirement, you are eligible to receive the additional funds to support your professional development.
What you get
You receive a $500 top-up in the form of credit. These funds are intended to be used toward the cost of training programs, allowing you to focus on gaining new skills, such as digital literacy, technical abilities, or business management, without bearing the full financial weight yourself.
What it costs you
There is no cost to you to receive this top-up. You do not need to pay a fee to claim the additional $500 credit, and there are no hidden charges for having the funds added to your account.
The catch to know
While the funds are useful, they are not flexible for any purchase you choose. The credit must be used specifically for courses that are officially listed on the SkillsFuture portal. If a course is not registered within that specific system, you will not be able to use these credits to pay for it.

- Visit the official SkillsFuture portal to access your account.
- Log in using your official credentials to view your current credit balance.
- Use the portal to search for and browse the list of approved courses.
