SkillsFuture Credit

What is SkillsFuture Credit?

SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) empowers Singaporeans to take charge of their skills development and lifelong learning. Since January 2016, all Singaporeans aged 25 and above have received an initial S$500 credit, with periodic top-ups to support continued learning. These credits can be applied to approved skills-related courses, covering out-of-pocket expenses and complementing existing government subsidies.
