What is SkillsFuture Credit?

SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) has set out to promote self-directed skills development and continuous learning among individuals.

A one-off SkillsFuture Credit top-up of $500 was provided to every Singapore Citizen aged 25 years and above as at 31 December 2020.

The goal of SkillsFuture Credit is to enable you to take charge of your own skill-building and lifelong learning. All Singaporeans who are 25 years old or older will now receive a $500 opening credit. This does not expire.

The top-up can be used on all SkillsFuture Credit-eligible courses and will expire on 31 Dec 2025.

Do note that our courses are not eligible for Mid-Career Support Skillsfuture Credit.

Skillsfuture Credit FAQ

When must I submit my claim for SkillsFuture Credit?

At the point of course registration, inform us that you intend to use your SkillsFuture Credit in part or in full for the qualifying course fee. Instructions will then be provided to do the claim via MySkillsFuture within 60 days before the course start date (date inclusive).

What happens if I have already paid for a course in full and wish to use SkillsFuture Credit subsequently?

If you have already made an initial self-payment for a course in full, you will not be able to use SkillsFuture Credit for the course. You may use your SkillsFuture Credit for subsequent courses.

When can I start claiming my SkillsFuture Credit? How will I be notified about my SkillsFuture Credit Account?

All Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above will be able to access their SkillsFuture Credit account and submit claims once they have received their account activation letter.

Those turning 25 years old will receive their SkillsFuture Credit account activation letter by the first quarter of the same year. They will also receive a brochure with steps on how to search for the list of approved courses and how to use their credit.

Can I use my credit to co-fund the course fees of training that my employer will be sending me for?

No. The SkillsFuture Credit only supports individual-initiated training. It is not designed to cover employer-provided training, which should still be covered by your company.
