SkillsFuture funding for AI courses.
Understand the difference between course fee subsidies, SkillsFuture Credit and employer support before deciding what to enrol in.
FUNDING EXPLAINED
Three types of support.
SkillsFuture Credit
Eligible Singapore Citizens can use available SkillsFuture Credit for eligible programmes. Different tiers have different restrictions.
Employer support
Support for company-sponsored training depends on the employer, employees, course and specific scheme conditions.
CITIZENS · 25 AND ABOVE
Opening SkillsFuture Credit.
Eligible Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above receive a base SkillsFuture Credit allocation of S$500. It has no expiry date and may be used for courses eligible under the Opening Credit rules, subject to any remaining balance.
The credit is separate from course fee subsidies. An eligible learner may use available credit towards the applicable out-of-pocket fee.
WHAT ABOUT AGE 40+?
The separate S$4,000 Mid-Career SkillsFuture Credit is restricted to selected course categories. It should not be assumed available for every two-day AI course.
Further categories apply to new course runs from 1 December 2026; check the official portal for the actual course.
CITIZENS & PERMANENT RESIDENTS
Different eligibility rules.
Singapore Citizens
May qualify for applicable course fee subsidies and, separately, SkillsFuture Credit if the course and credit tier are eligible.
Singapore Permanent Residents
May qualify for certain course fee subsidies, but do not receive SkillsFuture Credit. Your actual payable fee must be checked for the approved run.
COURSE CLASSIFICATION
WSQ and non-WSQ.
WSQ refers to Singapore’s Workforce Skills Qualifications framework. A non-WSQ course does not confer a WSQ qualification, even if the course is government-supported.
