Our Training Programs

As an institute for the retail sector, our training programs are aligned to meet the national standards - Retail Workforce Skills Qualifications (Retail WSQ).

The Retail WSQ confers national recognition on the skills acquired through its qualifications. It complements the pre-employment training delivered through our national education system by focusing on job competencies (i.e. having the abilities to do the job well) that encompass employability, occupational and industry skills.

Retail WSQ details skills, knowledge and attitudes required for various occupations at every level in the retail industry. These competencies are developed by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) and endorsed by employers, unions, industry associations and training providers in the retail industry. It is also translated into training modules to enable a worker to develop the required competencies to do his job well.

WSQ benefits everyone, including individuals without academic qualifications. This is possible because WSQ recognises past training, work experience and current credentials in addition to academic achievements.
