Steps to Claim UTAP Reimbursement

NTUC Members: Get Back 50% of Your Course Fees with UTAP!

 

Under the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP), paid-up NTUC members can claim 50% of the unfunded course fee (the fee left after government subsidies) for Emerge Creatives WSQ courses.

 

UTAP is capped at $250 a year, or $500 a year for members aged 40 and above. Follow the steps below to claim.

How to Claim UTAP for Emerge Creatives Courses?

Step 1: Check your NTUC membership

Make sure you are an NTUC member paying full membership fees, and stay a member throughout the course and when you submit your claim. UTAP does not apply if your course fees are fully sponsored by your company.
