Paying for your own training?

Course Fee Funding is available to self-sponsored individuals. To receive this funding, you will have to enrol directly with SSG’s Registered Training Providers delivering SSG-funded courses.

You will only need to pay the net course fee (full course fee after Course Fee Funding is applied). To check if a course is funded by SSG, start your course search here and log in with Singpass to see your estimated course fees. Please note that course fees may be subject to GST.

There are two funding tiers available to eligible self-sponsored individuals.

Tier 1 SSG Funding

Tier 1 SSG Funding applies to courses that deliver emerging skills or have direct impact on employability (e.g., help individuals transit to growth sectors).
