Only SSG Approved TPs can deliver WSQ courses, conduct WSQ assessments, and give out WSQ qualifications.

In addition, only SSG Funded (WSQ Course) Training Providers can use the WSQ Training logos on the certificates and statements of attainment that they issue. These logos are further indicators of high quality, and because they are sure to impress prospective employers, learners will flock to your courses.

Preliminary Assessment
Why do you need a preliminary assessment of your organisation before applying to become a SSG Funded TP?
To attain a more sustainable, efficient and at the same time more cost-effective approach before venturing into a highly administrative and rigorous system in maintaining adult training standards in Singapore, we can conduct a preliminary assessment of your organisation on the suitability of becoming a SSG Funded TP.
