SSG-Funded Courses: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access heavily discounted vocational training courses in Singapore through government-funded subsidies.
This scheme provides financial support to help individuals pay for vocational training through significantly reduced course fees.
Who it's for
This program is designed to be accessible to a wide range of people within the local workforce. It is available to all Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) who are looking to upskill or learn new professional techniques.
What you get
The primary benefit is access to heavily discounted course fees for various vocational training programs. This support is designed to make professional development more affordable, allowing you to learn new skills or maintain the validity of your professional certifications without bearing the full financial burden of the tuition.
What it costs you
While the government provides a subsidy to lower the overall price, the scheme is not entirely free. You will still be responsible for paying a registration fee, and the specific amount you must pay will vary depending on which training provider you choose for your studies.
The catch to know
To ensure that the funding is used effectively, there is a requirement regarding your participation in the program. You must attend at least 75% of the course to get the subsidy.
