How UTAP works
The Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP) is an NTUC membership benefit. After SkillsFuture course fee funding, UTAP pays back 50% of the remaining course fee that you paid yourself, up to your yearly cap:
| NTUC member | UTAP support | Yearly cap |
|---|---|---|
| Below 40 years old | 50% of the unfunded fee | $250 |
| 40 years old and above | 50% of the unfunded fee | $500 |
All our WSQ courses are eligible for UTAP. The cap applies across all your UTAP claims in a year.
What you pay after funding and UTAP
Per person, before GST, assuming you have not used your UTAP cap on other courses this year. Citizens 40+ get 70% course fee funding; others get 50%. Click a course for class dates.
