Can SkillsFuture Be Used for a Personal Trainer Course in Singapore?
Published on 13 September 2026
Yes. Eligible Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above can use their available base-tier SkillsFuture Credit for the NCSF Certified Personal Trainer course in Singapore.
The course is listed under:
Course: NCSF Certified Personal Trainer
Training provider: Edu PT Pte. Ltd.
Course reference: TGS-2023020428
You should still check the exact course intake on MySkillsFuture before registering, as eligibility periods can change.
Which SkillsFuture Credit Can You Use?
There are two main tiers of SkillsFuture Credit:
| Credit type | Can it be used? |
|---|---|
| S$500 base-tier SkillsFuture Credit | Yes, subject to your remaining balance |
| S$4,000 SkillsFuture Credit (Mid-Career) | Not currently eligible for this course |
The base-tier credit is available to Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above and does not expire.
However, S$500 is the original allocation, not necessarily your current balance. If you have used some of it before, you can only apply the amount remaining in your account.
How Much Would You Pay?
The NCSF Certified Personal Trainer course costs:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Course fee before GST | S$999 |
| Course fee including GST | S$1,088.91 |
| Less S$500 SkillsFuture Credit | S$500 |
| Remaining amount | S$588.91 |
This example assumes you still have the full S$500 base-tier credit available.
The fee includes the digital textbook, e-learning resources, practice questions, instructor support, certification examination and a two-day hands-on practical workshop.

How to Submit Your SkillsFuture Claim
The process is fairly straightforward.
Check your balance
Log in to MySkillsFuture with Singpass and check your available base-tier credit.
Confirm your course intake
Search for course reference TGS-2023020428 and make sure your chosen start date is eligible.
Register with NCSF Singapore
Tell our team that you plan to use SkillsFuture Credit. We will provide the necessary course and payment information.
Submit your claim
Submit the claim through MySkillsFuture within 60 days before your course begins. The first day of the course is the latest date you can submit it.
Do not pay the portion that you intend to cover with SkillsFuture Credit unless the training provider advises you to do so.
Can You Combine SkillsFuture and UTAP?
Eligible NTUC members may also be able to claim UTAP after applying their SkillsFuture Credit.
For example, someone with S$500 of available SkillsFuture Credit and S$250 of available UTAP support could bring the effective cost down to approximately S$338.91.
This is an illustration, not a guaranteed fee. The final amount depends on your SkillsFuture balance, NTUC membership, remaining UTAP allocation and claim approval.
Before You Register
Check these three things first:
How much base-tier SkillsFuture Credit you have left
Whether your intended intake is currently eligible
Whether you also qualify for NTUC UTAP
This will give you a clearer idea of your actual out-of-pocket cost.
