SKILLSFUTURE SUBSIDY (SSG FUNDING)

  • What it is:

    A government subsidy provided by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) to support training and workforce development.

  • How it works:
    • The course provider claims the subsidy directly from SSG
    • You only pay the subsidised amount
    • Funding rate depends on course type, employment status, and age (e.g. up to 90% for mature workers)
  • Who it’s for:
    • Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents
    • Employers sending staff for training
  • Example use:
    Jane pays only $270 for a course that originally costs $900, thanks to SSG funding applied upfront by the training provider.
         Course Fee (before subsidy): $900
         SSG Subsidy (70% for eligible Singaporeans & PRs): $630
         Nett Fee Payable (after subsidy): $270
Can You Use Both SkillsFuture Credit and SkillsFuture Subsidy?

Yes! In many cases, SkillsFuture Credit can be used to pay the remaining course fees after the SSG subsidy has been applied.

SkillsFuture Credit (SFEC)

SkillsFuture Credit
  • What it is:

    A personal credit given by the Singapore Government to Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above.

  • Who it’s for:

    Individuals - to pay for eligible courses on their own.

  • How it works:
    • You get a one-time or periodic top-up (e.g., $500 or $1,000).
    • You can use the credit to offset course fees from SkillsFuture-approved training providers.
    • It’s not transferable and can only be used by the individual.
  • Example use:

    John wants to upgrade his skills in food hygiene. He registers for a WSQ Food Safety Course. The course fee is $160. He uses $48 from his SkillsFuture Credit, reducing his payable amount to $0.

        Course Fee: $160
        He receives a 70% SkillsFuture Subsidy = $112
        Nett fee after subsidy = $48
        John uses $48 from his SkillsFuture Credit.
        John pays $0 out-of-pocket.
