How To Check Your SkillsFuture Credits: A Comprehensive Guide

Navigating your career path in today’s fast-paced world requires a commitment to continuous learning and development. SkillsFuture Credits offer a unique opportunity for Singaporeans to advance their skills and knowledge. In this guide, we’ll explore how to check your SkillsFuture credits online, understand the process for a SkillsFuture credit claim, and discover the various SkillsFuture eligible courses available.

The Importance of Upskilling in a Dynamic Economy

In a world where the only constant is change, staying relevant and competitive means continually enhancing your skill set. SkillsFuture Credits are a testament to Singapore’s commitment to lifelong learning. Whether you’re a fresh graduate, a seasoned professional, or contemplating a career switch, understanding how to manage and utilise your SkillsFuture Credits is crucial.

Understanding SkillsFuture Credits

SkillsFuture is a national initiative designed to foster a culture of continuous learning. With an initial credit and periodic top-ups, Singaporeans are encouraged to take ownership of their skills development and lifelong learning journey. But how do you keep track of your credits and ensure you’re making the most of them?

To take advantage of SkillsFuture, all Singaporeans can enjoy course fee subsidies and are given SkillsFuture credit to offset the cost of their learning in approved courses at selected education institutions. They get $500 of SkillsFuture opening credit which will not expire, and an additional top-up of $500 which is set to expire on 31 December 2025. 

Although they do not receive the SkillsFuture credit, Permanent Residents of Singapore (PR) will still get to enjoy the course fee subsidy at all SkillsFuture-approved institutions.

With SkillsFuture, individuals are empowered to develop their skills and take charge of their learning journey for a more fulfilling career.
