In Budget 2022, the Minister for Finance announced that the GST rate will be increased from:
(i) 7% to 8% with effect from 1 Jan 2023; and
(ii) 8% to 9% with effect from 1 Jan 2024.
IRAS has given the guidance that 8% GST will be chargeable if payment is received by IAL from 1 January 2023. Payments received by IAL before 1 January 2023 will continue to pay GST at 7%. Please refer to https://www.iras.gov.sg for more information.
The COVID-19 situation in Singapore has stabilised. The Multi-Ministry Taskforce has announced further easing of community Safe Management Measures (SMMs) and adjusting of the Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) level from orange to yellow.
Currently, IAL adopts online learning for the delivery of our programmes. From 1 June 2022, IAL will resume blended learning for all programmes, except existing fully online WSQ Advanced Certificate in Learning & Performance (ACLP) cohorts, which will continue to be conducted online.
IAL will continue to monitor the situation and provide timely updates via our email and web channels in the event of any changes.

We place great importance on ensuring that learners get the full benefit from our courses here at IAL. Therefore, we expect learners to take responsibility for their learning journey.
Learners are expected to have access to a safe and robust network connection and a laptop running on Windows Operating System 7 and above (or MAC OS system).
The laptop should have a pre-installed webcam or a headset with a USB webcam.
The entirety of each training/assessment session will be recorded, and the learners must turn on their webcam at all times for attendance purposes.
Learners’ faces in the video recordings must be fully visible (i.e. the entire face and not just the forehead/eyebrows).
Learners’ full names, as reflected in their NRICs, should be indicated in the video recordings.
No training/assessment video recordings would be made available for public viewing as they include the learners’ personal data.
Only SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and IAL could review your video recordings for audit, quality assurance and grant administration purposes.
All of IAL's courses include a substantial component of self-directed learning. As such, we expect learners to complete their preparation work and/or assignments independently before the scheduled classroom time.
Take note of, and observe all submission deadlines of assignments, which may include but not limited to written assignments (draft and final), video recording, self/peer assessment record, etc. Failure to do so may result in chargeable re-scheduling/re-assessment and/or a 'Not Yet Competent' assessment result for the module.
Final assignment must be submitted by the prescribed deadline before the scheduled assessment date; failing which you will be deemed to have forfeited your assessment attempt. You will be required to schedule a one-time re-assessment within 5 working days of the initial assessment date at a charge of S$160 (before GST).
Exceptional circumstances should be submitted to IAL with supporting documents for consideration, and upon review, IAL's decision will be final.
Please click here to make the Re-Assessment request.
The onus of supporting documents is on the applicant. Deferment applications with invalid, insufficient or no supporting documents will be rejected. Upon review, IAL's decision will be final.
Once the application is approved, the remaining modules must be completed within ONE YEAR from the Deferment Approval Date or by the original candidature end date, whichever is later.
Full fees without funding will apply if the learner wishes to re-enrol the same course past the one-year deferment period.
Please click here to make the deferment request.
At IAL, we are committed to creating a positive learning environment that encourages active learning.
At IAL, we strive to provide exceptional service and support to ensure your learning experience is enriching and rewarding. We expect all learners to treat our staff members with respect, courtesy, and professionalism. We understand that you may have questions or concerns or require assistance, and we encourage open and constructive communication. However, abusive behaviour will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Definition of Staff Abuse:
Staff abuse encompasses any behaviour, action, or communication that prevents our staff from carrying out their responsibilities, is disrespectful, or harassing. This includes but is not limited to, physical aggression, verbal abuse, personal attacks, threats, excessive and repetitive phone calls, and incessant demands for immediate responses.
We recognise the importance of fostering positive interactions between staff and learners. However, in cases where the line is crossed, and staff members are subjected to repeated abusive or harassing behaviour, we will take appropriate action to ensure their safety and well-being.
Disengagement and Service Termination:
If a learner engages in behaviours that constitute staff abuse, IAL reserves the right to disengage from further communication with and terminate the provision of all services without further notice to that individual. This decision will be made after careful assessment and consideration of the situation to protect the staff member(s) involved and, in fairness, the other individual involved.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a positive and respectful environment at IAL.
