Can I conduct in-house training instead of sending my employees for WSQ courses?

Yes, you may conduct in-house training to meet respective Progressive Wage Model (PWM) training requirements. However, you need to refer to specific training requirements if you are in the retail or food services sector, or if you hire these groups of employees.

For retail and food services sectors, you need to first be an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) to conduct in-house training. Contact SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) for information on how to be an ATO.

You would need to show supporting documentation on the in-house training programme upon request, which should include:

  • Defined training objectives
  • How the training was carried out such as hands-on training, classes held in-person, or classes held virtually
  • Key training tasks
  • Training duration such as number of days
  • Records of specific employees who have completed the training
