What SkillsFuture Funding is Available for the DRP-5000 IT Disaster Recovery Expert Implementer Course?

I am glad to inform you that BCM Institute is an Authorised Training Organisation (ATO) of SkillsFuture Singapore.

This implies that all Singaporeans and Singapore PRs attending as self-sponsored or company-sponsored are eligible for course fee funding from Skillsfuture Singapore.

For Singaporeans above 40 years old, up to SGD 2,695 of the total course fees are funded. Thus, you pay SGD1,1155 nett instead of the full course fee of SGD3,850.

For Singaporeans 39 years and below, the funding is 50%, so the course fee is SGD1,925 nett.
