PFT fee clarity

Funding examples are shown before learners submit.

The application flow separates the full course fee, estimated SSG support, SkillsFuture Credit, the balance due at checkout, and post-course UTAP. The PFT seminar is also PSEA-approved. Because PSEA is arranged through MOE rather than deducted automatically, contact us before paying if you intend to use it.

UTAP is claimed after course completion and is based on the amount actually paid after SkillsFuture Credit, subject to NTUC eligibility and the annual cap. UTAP course code: C00039959.*SkillsFuture Credit is available only to eligible Singapore Citizens. If it covers the full nett fee, both the cash payment and UTAP reimbursement are S$0.PSEA is a separate way to fund this approved PFT seminar. It is not included in the arithmetic above because the usable amount depends on the account balance and MOE processing. Contact Carbyne Education before paying. Read MOE's PSEA instructions.Subsidised fees assume the SSG funding condition is met (passing all required assessments); if an assessment is not passed, the subsidy is revoked and the balance of the S$899 gross fee is payable. The separate PFT completion rule is at least five of six attendance checkpoints, including Day 3 at 6:00 PM.

Credential strategy

Plan the next two moves, not just the next course.

Learners with a career goal need a sequence. This planner turns three courses into clearer professional pathways.

Recommended sequence

Start with PFT, then layer nutrition once client questions get deeper.

Best for career changers and first-time coaches who need a recognised foundation before specialising.
