I was looking through Budget 2020. One of the items was a top-up to Skills Future credit. As a Singaporean aged above 25, I get a $500 top- up of Skills Future credit, which can be used to offset the course of approved courses. As I am less than 40 years old, I don't get the additional special $500 credit. For more details, read up Budget 2020 here.
I was looking at the skillsfuture website, and do you know that there are some FREE online courses available? These include:
Of course, you could get these topics free at youtube too, but this will require one to "prepare" your own curriculum to learn the subject. So, if you are interested in these topics, why not sign up for these since they literally put all the material on that topic together. All you need is to consume the content!
I really like the Skills Future credit, as I always have something to use it for. Previously, I used it to offset part of my Advanced Diploma. Honestly, though I finished my advanced diploma in 2015, I had literally NOT used the skills at all to advance my career. What a waste of time and effort. This time around, I intend to use the credits for something that I can reap benefits immediately (either monetary or enjoyment).
How about those of you who are eligible for the credits? What do you intend to use the additional Skills Future credit for?
