ChatGPT Training in Singapore

Singapore companies are moving quickly to train their teams on ChatGPT. With strong government subsidies and a competitive business environment, the question is not whether to train — it is how quickly you can get your team up to speed.

SkillsFuture Subsidies for ChatGPT Training

Singapore offers generous subsidies for ChatGPT and AI training:

SSG Course Fee Subsidies

  • 70% subsidy for Singapore citizens and PRs (standard rate)
  • 90% subsidy for SMEs (under 200 employees or revenue under S$100M)
  • 90% subsidy for workers aged 40+ (Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy)

SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

  • Up to S$10,000 in credit per company

  • Out-of-pocket: S$80
  • SFEC covers remaining S$80
