SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)

With effect on 01 October 2024, the CPE is dissolved and SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) will directly exercise its functions and powers under the Private Education Act 2009 and subsidiary legislations. This transition marks another important step in the ongoing efforts to better oversee the private education and adult training sector and builds on the consolidation of these functions under SSG in 2016 for better coordination and efficiency.

EduTrust Certification Scheme

Private Education Act 2009 and Private Education Regulations 2009 was enacted in December 2009. The Private Education Act also establishes the Council for Private Education (CPE) in 2009 to formulate and oversee the implementation of initiatives to regulate and develop Singapore’s private education sector. This includes the Enhanced Registration Framework and the EduTrust certification scheme. In October 2016, the Council for Private Education was renamed as the Committee for Private Education. EduTrust provides a framework for private education institutions to benchmark themselves against best practices. On 01 October 2024 onward, SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) will directly exercise its functions and powers under the Private Education Act 2009 and subsidiary legislations.

All Private Education Institutions (PEIs) are required to comply with the regulations under the Private Education Act in order to continue operations. The EduTrust Certification Scheme (EduTrust) is a quality assurance scheme administered and governed by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG). The EduTrust certification is awarded to PEIs for sustaining an excellent level of performance in managing their institutions and providing high quality education standards and welfare for their students. SHATEC is 4-year EduTrust certified, demonstrating the excellent quality of our programmes and services as well as business operations.
