Popular SkillsFuture Courses You Can Enrol in Before Your Extra Credit Expires on 31 December 2025

by | Dec 16, 2025

In Singapore, lifelong learning is a cornerstone of personal and professional growth, strongly supported by the government’s SkillsFuture initiative. The SkillsFuture Credit scheme, in particular, has enabled thousands of Singaporeans to pursue upskilling, switch careers, and stay competitive.

As part of this initiative, a $500 one-off SkillsFuture Credit top-up was provided to eligible Singaporeans in 2020. It is important for all Singaporeans to be aware that this specific top-up has an expiry date.

This guide aims to provide clarity on the upcoming 31 December 2025 SkillsFuture credit expiry and explain how you can check your eligibility and utilize these credits for high-quality training. For the most authoritative and up-to-date information, we always recommend visiting the official MySkillsFuture website.

Understanding the 31 December 2025 SkillsFuture Credit Expiry

First, let’s clarify what’s expiring. The government has confirmed that only the $500 one-off top-up from 2020 will expire. Your opening $500 credit and any mid-career top-ups do not have an expiry date. This information is provided to help you plan your learning journey effectively.

To use your expiring credit, you must meet two critical conditions:

  1. Course Commencement: Your chosen course must start on or before 31 December 2025.
  2. Claim Submission: You must submit your claim on the MySkillsFuture portal on or before 31 December 2025.

If you fail to meet both conditions, the $500 credit will be forfeited permanently. There will be no extensions.

Scenario: How to Secure Your Credit

Let’s say you want to enrol in Heicoders Academy’s GA100 Generative AI Course.

  • Course Start Date: The last intake for the year starts on 15 December 2025.
  • Your Action: You must register for the course and submit your claim for the $500 credit on the MySkillsFuture portal by 31 December 2025 at the latest.

By doing this, you successfully use your credit even if the course itself finishes in 2026. The key is to have the course commence and the claim submitted before the deadline.

With the deadline approaching, it is a good opportunity to reflect on your career goals and identify skills that will provide long-term value.
