In Singapore, various funding schemes are available to help individuals pursue continuing education and career development. These schemes aim to make learning more accessible and affordable, supporting both personal and professional growth.
SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) provides funding for the SkillsFuture Series, a collection of short, industry-focused courses that are curated to address emerging and in-demand skills, helping individuals upskill and reskill to adapt to changing job requirements.
Current SSG guidance also covers eligible Long-Term Visit Pass Plus (LTVP+) holders for selected funded courses. ITEL’s automated fee estimates currently cover SCs and PRs only, so LTVP+ eligibility and fees must be confirmed with ITEL.
ITEL’s Class Schedule currently stores these as CAT A and CAT B. Their displayed rates correspond to the prevailing SSG Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding rates respectively; the exact approved funding tier is confirmed for each course run.

Eligible persons with disabilities may receive up to 95% funding for selected Tier 1 courses supported by SG Enable. This is separate from SCTP Additional Funding Support and is not automatically applied by the website calculator. Contact ITEL to confirm whether the selected course is supported and what documents are required.
The SkillsFuture Career Transition Programme (SCTP) supports Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who want to acquire industry-relevant skills and move into new sectors or job roles. ITEL records SCTP as a self-sponsored funding route.
Eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs aged 21 and above may receive up to 70% course-fee funding.
Eligible Singapore Citizens aged 40 and above may receive up to 90% under the Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy.
Eligible Singapore Citizens with greater needs may receive up to 95%, subject to supporting documents and approval.
This is not an automatic disability discount. ITEL must verify the applicable eligibility evidence before confirming the final payable fee.
The Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) Scheme is part of the Government’s efforts to encourage every Singaporean to complete post-secondary education. PSEA may be used only for approved institutions and programmes; a course being SSG-funded does not by itself guarantee that it is PSEA-approved.
ITEL makes every effort to ensure that all information in this listing is accurate and complete, but is not liable for any errors, inaccuracies or omissions.
