    FAQS

    What is Green Financing?

    Green financing involves raising funds for projects that deliver positive environmental impacts, such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and clean transportation. Its goal is to support a sustainable, low-carbon economy while managing risks and promoting long-term growth. It uses financial tools like green bonds and sustainable funds, and is increasingly adopted by governments, businesses, and financial institutions.

    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?

    Yes, all our courses are eligible for Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP) Funding. NTUC Union members can use UTAP to offset 50% of unfunded course fees (capped at $500 per year).

    This claim must be done after completion of the course. Please refer to the UTAP FAQ for more information.

    Can I combine SkillsFuture Credits and UTAP for payment?
