    FAQS

    What is Customer Service?

    Customer service is the support provided to customers before, during, and after a purchase. It focuses on meeting needs, resolving issues, and creating positive experiences that build trust and loyalty. In a competitive market, excellent customer service can set a business apart.

    Are there any subsidies available for this course?

    Yes, up to 70% funding support is available from The Institute of Banking & Finance (IBF) for our IBF-accredited programmes:

    The IBF Standards Training Scheme ("IBF-STS") offers funding for training and assessment programmes accredited under the Skills Framework for Financial Services.

    Eligible Singaporeans and PRs enrolled in our IBF-accredited courses can receive funding support through IBF-STS, subject to fulfilling all eligibility requirements.

    Can I use my SkillsFuture Credits to cover the remaining course fees after subsidies?

    Yes. For self-sponsored Singaporeans aged 25 years old and above, you can use your SkillsFuture Credit to offset the remaining course fees after IBF funding.

    To check your SkillsFuture credit balance, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to https://myskillsfuture.gov.sg
    2. Click on ‘Submit SkillsFuture Credit Claims’
    3. Login with your SingPass

    Can NTUC Union members utilize UTAP to offset the balance of the course fee after subsidies?
