These courses touch on a wide range of life-skills in addition to work-skills. Eligible seniors aged 50 and above will receive subsidies for courses offered by PSEIs as well as the community-based organisations.

EXAM-FREE MODULES

These modules are drawn from existing full-qualification programmes offered by ITE, polytechnics and the universities for a token fee. Eligible seniors may attend these modules alongside regular students who are taking these modules for credit, i.e. to earn a certificate like a degree or diploma, but while the regular students need to sit for the exams, seniors do not need to.
