Enhanced SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit lets eligible employers offset up to $10,000 of course fees. See who qualifies, what counts as claimable, and how to apply.
Starting 1 Dec 2026, the Enhanced SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit gives eligible Singapore employers S$10,000 to invest in staff training, covering up to 100% of qualifying costs. It's designed to make upskilling your whole team genuinely affordable.
One-time enterprise credit per eligible employer
SFEC covers up to 90% of out-of-pocket training costs after other grants and subsidies have been applied. It's a powerful way to fund large-scale team training with minimal company spend.
From 1 December 2026
Eligible employers get a fresh $10,000 credit that covers net course fees upfront. No paying first, no waiting to claim it back. Speak with us to find out if your company qualifies.
$1,000 covered through government support
Verify that your company meets the SFEC criteria — Singapore-registered, min. 30% local workforce, active CPF contributions. Check via the SkillsConnect portal.
Register your employees in any approved training programme. SFEC applies to SSG-approved courses — all eligible programmes are clearly marked in our catalogue.
Your company pays the course fees at the point of enrolment (after any SSG subsidies are applied to employee fees). SFEC is a reimbursement — not an upfront deduction.
After your employees complete the course, submit a claim via the SkillsConnect portal. SFEC reimburses up to 90% of the qualifying out-of-pocket costs.
Has an active ACRA status in Singapore
Had 3+ Singapore Citizen / PR employees every month in 2025
Had no Skills Development Levy (SDL) defaults in 2025
Is an SME or non-SME (both are eligible)
SWDA-funded course fees (after subsidies)
Up to 100% of out-of-pocket training costs
Does not cover GST on course fees
Cannot be used once the S$10,000 is exhausted
Course fees are first reduced by SWDA subsidies (50–70%). The Enhanced SFEC then covers 100% of the remaining net fee upfront, so there’s nothing to pay first or claim back later. Your company pays only the GST, which keeps the cost of training your team practically zero.
Employers may be eligible for Absentee Payroll support when sending employees for eligible SSG-funded courses, helping to defray manpower costs while employees attend training. Funding for employer-sponsored training applies to employers sponsoring Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents for training.
Training expenses may also qualify for tax deductions. Under the Enterprise Innovation Scheme, qualifying training expenditure for SSG-funded and Skills Framework-aligned courses may enjoy up to 400% tax deduction on the first $400,000 of qualifying expenditure per year from YA2024 to YA2028.
Tailored training designed for your unique business challenges and goals.
From nimble SMEs to large MNCs — we scale our training to fit any organisation.
