Frequently Asked Questions

Are there course fee subsidies available?
The IBF Standards Training Scheme (“IBF-STS”) provides funding for training and assessment programmes accredited under the Skills Framework for Financial Services.
For our training programmes that are IBF-accredited, eligible Singaporeans & PRs may receive funding support under the IBF Standards Training Scheme (IBF-STS), subjected to all eligibility criteria being met.
For more information on the funding support, please visit: https://www.ibf.org.sg/programmes/Pages/IBF-STS.aspx
Can I use SkillsFuture Credits to pay for the remaining course fee after funding?
Yes. For self-sponsored Singaporeans aged 25 years old and above, you can use your SkillsFuture Credit to offset the remaining course fees after IBF funding.
To check your SkillsFuture credit balance, please follow these steps:
- Go to https://myskillsfuture.gov.sg
- Click on ‘Submit SkillsFuture Credit Claims’
- Login with your SingPass
- Click on the arrow (>) at the top right hand corner. You will be able to see a drop-down list of your Available SkillsFuture Credits.

Can NTUC Union members use UTAP to offset the remaining course fee after funding?

Can I use SkillsFuture Credits and UTAP at the same time?
For illustration purposes only:
Am I eligible for IBF funding support?
The IBF funding support works on a nett fee model. This means that the subsidy is applied upfront, and you will only need to pay the balance course fees after the subsidy. For example, if you are eligible for 70% subsidy, you only need to pay the remaining 30% upfront.
To be eligible, you’ll have to meet the following prerequisites.
