Do trainees have to pay for the SCTP? If yes, how much are the course fees and funding available?

Yes. The exact course fees vary depending on the type of course. Nevertheless, SSG will work with training providers to ensure that course fees remain affordable. The prevailing course fee funding rates for courses offered by SSG-appointed CET Centres will apply, i.e. eligible trainees will receive baseline funding of up to 70% of course fees, while eligible Singaporean trainees aged 40 years and above will receive enhanced funding of up to 90% of course fees under the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy. In addition, individuals who are eligible for the additional course fee funding support will receive up to 95% course fee funding for the SCTP courses. Trainees can also use the SkillsFuture Credit and Additional SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career Support) to offset the out-of-pocket course fees.
