Magenta_Lilies Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Heading to Italy in December and am thinking of taking up learning Italian just to equip myself with the basics. Checked up Skillsfuture language courses and they seem pretty expensive. I might as well learn off of YouTube. So I'm just wondering whether anyone here has signed up for a Skillsfuture course/workshop before and you highly recommend that particular course/workshop. Would sure love to get some recommendations and finally make use of that darn $500! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious94 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I'd personally go for a course that is related to my work or something that I see myself doing in the future! I went for a short course by NAFA with the skills future credit. Other than the course, i think its also important to go for the reputable service providers!

I somehow feel like signing up for something totally out of the box though. And has nothing to do with my work. Hehe. But yet to find something that stands out. I'll keep on searching I guess.

mate69 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 not transferable Q: Can individuals transfer their SkillsFuture Credit to their family or friends? A: The credits are non-transferable. Q: I am retired. Why can’t I transfer my SkillsFuture Credit to my children or relatives who are working? A: The SkillsFuture Credit is meant to support individual Singaporeans’ learning needs by defraying out-of-pocket course fees. All Singapore Citizens 25 years old and above will receive the SkillsFuture Credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenliv Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I heard of one course on how to be a private investigator. After the course, you can become a mystery shopper (which actually you don't have to take course if you are good but a course gives you certain recognition and leverage). One guy told me his friend became a mystery shopper to check on massage parlours to collect evidence whether the ladies there offer extras.

OK, sound reasonable. But please DON'T check on the gay and report to authority. "Offering extras" is the only privildge we have left in this extremely discriminatory country. I hope whoever offered such job, understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kiam Chye Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I still have over $1200 in credit that is unutilized. The government has since promised further financing, but I haven't been able to identify any courses offered under those initiatives that are both stimulating or helpful. I don't want to spend the money on SUPERFICIAL courses needlessly and only the BASIC courses accept funding, but not mid to advance level course.

A course in languages is not superficial nor needless. To be multilingual is good for the brain! I can recommend Spanish because it is relatively EASY. Yes, it is a very regular language, as opposed to English for example. And if you are able to dominate Spanish, this opens the door for several other Latin languages like Italian, Portuguese, French. Also, Spanish is one of the most used languages, together with English and Mandarin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
