Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of every module. The mode of assessment, which is up to the trainer’s discretion, may be an online quiz, a presentation or based on classroom exercises.

Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment for every module in order to be eligible for programme funding and to be awarded the certificate issued by Singapore Management University.

In the event that a participant fails an assessment, only 1 retake is allowed. This is chargeable at $109.00 (to be completed within 7 calendar days from the course end date).

Trainees who are unable to meet the attendance and assessment requirements, or exit the programme without a valid reason, may be asked to return the programme funding that they have received, including any additional course fee funding support.
