Claim SkillsFuture Credit on SKLS Courses
Selected SKLS Korean Language Courses have been approved by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) for SkillsFuture Credit!
Students may claim SkillsFuture Credit for eligible SKLS courses on or after 1st December 2016.
From 18th May 2017, SSG has discontinued the option to refund to individual.
All claims made will be paid out from SSG to the school directly.
Here are some simple steps on how to make your SkillsFuture claim under the new process:
Step 1: Register for any SF-approved SKLS course online immediately
Certain courses on our website are approved for SkillsFuture Credit.
The courses on our courses page with the following icon are SkillsFuture eligible.
Students may place a $100 downpayment toward the course when registering online in order to reserve a seat for the course first. Once the school has been notified that you intend to utilize your SkillsFuture credit towards the course, fees paid in excess (taking into account the approved claim amount) will have to be refunded.
Step 2: Request for an invoice
- On successful registration, you will receive a registration confirmation email (for web registrations) or hardcopy (for walk-in / in-person registrations).
- Please forward the registration confirmation email to contact@sejong.com.sg letting us know of your intent to claim from your SkillsFuture credit, and how much credit you would like to use. We will provide you with an invoice for the course.
Step 3: Make your claim on www.myskillsfuture.gov.sg

- Input the amount of credit you wish to claim from SkillsFuture. You may claim the full amount of course fees as long as you have sufficient credit in your SkillsFuture account. Alternatively, you may choose to claim only a specific amount from your SkillsFuture account.

- Kindly remember to make your claim at least 2 weeks prior to the commencement of the course start date in order to get your $100.00 downpayment refunded to you by the end of your course term. A gentle note that students who do not make their claim at least 2 weeks prior to their commencement of the course may not be able to get their $100.00 downpayment refunded by the end of the term.
- Important!: The latest that a student may make a claim on the SkillsFuture portal for a commencing course would be by 11:59pm on the day of the course commencement itself. Past the course start date, SSG will not approve any attempted claims made.
