While data analytics stands as a potent resource for businesses, it is imperative to wield it ethically and responsibly.
Below are some of the salient benefits that data analytics can bestow upon businesses:
Enhanced Customer Service:
Data analytics allows businesses to discern customer trends and preferences, empowering them to refine and elevate their customer service initiatives.
Streamlined Operations:
Through data analytics, businesses can pinpoint areas ripe for improvement within their operations—whether that involves cost reduction or boosting efficiency.
Informed Strategic Decisions:
Data analytics aids businesses in making astute strategic decisions, such as recognising emerging market opportunities or evaluating the potential risks associated with launching a new product.
Competitive Edge:
Data analytics can furnish businesses with unique insights, granting them an edge over competitors who lack access to such valuable information.
“The rise of the digital economy will drive up the demand for tech jobs – among others, we will need data analysts, software developers, infrastructure architects, and cyber security engineers.”
– Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, 16 Dec 2021
Are there course fee subsidies available?
Yes, you can receive up to 70% funding support from The Institute of Banking & Finance (IBF) for our IBF-accredited programmes. The balance course fees (after subsidy) can be offset using your SkillsFuture Credits or NTUC UTAP funding.
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/home/for-individuals/skills-and-jobs-development/training-support/IBF-STS
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.
- Please note that our bootcamps are not eligible for “Additional SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career Support)’. You will only be able to use available credits from ‘SkillsFuture Credit’ and ‘One-off SkillsFuture Credit Top-Up’.
After you have registered for a course, a VI representative will reach out to guide you with the SkillsFuture Credits claim application.
Can NTUC Union members use UTAP to offset the remaining course fee after funding?

Yes, you can utilise both at the same time. UTAP can only be applied after SFC has been applied.
