Fees and funding
Funding can reduce what you pay. What applies depends on the course and on you, and we confirm it before you enrol.
Every course page shows four categories - Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above, Singapore Citizens below 40 with Permanent Residents and LTVP+ holders, SME-sponsored local employees, and others - with the fee for each. All funding is subject to eligibility, which we confirm before enrolment. GST is charged on the full course fee and is not covered by funding.
