One of the two conditions for the claim of the SkillsFuture Non-WSQ funding to take place is to be awarded the  Disaster Recovery Certified Planner (DRCP) certification.

The other condition is to successfully completion of the DRCE exam. To start the processing, your SkillsFuture Non-WSQ claim by the institute immediately from SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) is subject to these conditions.

As you have successfully completed expert-level training and have passed the exam, you can proceed to apply for your higher certification, such as DRCS and DRCE, and you will need to apply for the desired certification, which is based on your IT disaster recovery and business continuity experience.
