Training Grants Available in Singapore 2026: Pay Less, or Nothing, for WSQ Courses

WSQ Funded Courses

The Singapore government pays for most of the cost of our WSQ courses. Depending on who you are, SkillsFuture funding, the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit, SkillsFuture Credit, Absentee Payroll and NTUC's UTAP can bring a Intellisoft Training course down to a few dollars, or nothing at all. Here's what you can claim, and what you'll actually pay.

Companies: your $10,000 SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit expires on 30 November 2026. It pays 90% of what's left after funding, so a 2-day course can cost as little as $15 per employee. Use your SFEC before it expires →

How much funding can I get for a WSQ course?

Can I pay for the rest with SkillsFuture Credit?

Yes. Every WSQ course we run is SSG-funded, and all of them are also eligible for SFEC and UTAP.
