Notes:
Fees are subject to revision.
Fees are charged based on citizenship at term commencement. If you have officially informed ITE of your citizenship change to SC or SPR before term commencement, you will have your fees adjusted to the SC or SPR rate for that term. However, if you have informed ITE officially of your citizenship change to SC or SPR after term commencement, your fees will be adjusted to the SC or SPR rate only with effect from the next term.
If you are ineligible for SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) or Workforce Singapore (WSG) funding, you will need to pay full Course Fee.
If your PSEA payment was unsuccessful (e.g. due to insufficient funds at the point of deduction by MOE or the PSEA balance had been transferred to the CPF account), you will have to pay the outstanding fees via other modes of payment.
If you are applying for Training Allowance under the Workfare Skills Support (WSS) scheme, please note that the training allowance for course is based on the course hours approved by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), and may not cover the full duration of the course as conducted by ITE. For more details on Training Allowance under WSS, please visit the Workfare Skills Support (WSS) Scheme website.
