01
What are WSQ courses?
The Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) is a national credential system that trains, develops, assesses, and certifies skills and competencies for Singapore’s workforce. WSQ-accredited courses are quality-assured by Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) and award learners with nationally recognized certifications that enhance both employability and career advancement.

For working professionals, our AI & Digital Marketing, Business Communication, and Advanced Wellness Programmes help you upgrade your skills, improve efficiency, and stay relevant in today’s digital and service-driven economy.
03
Where is the training held? Is there an online version of these courses?
SOQ International Academy is conveniently located in International Plaza, Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD), easily accessible by Tanjong Pagar MRT. Most of our training is conducted on-site, ensuring a highly practical and hands-on learning experience with real models, case studies, and interactive guidance. Selected Diploma courses may also offer online or blended learning options for added flexibility.
04
How do I register as a self-sponsored individual?
You may sign up directly for any course of interest through our website or consultation team. After registration, our course consultants will assist you in verifying your eligibility for government subsidies (up to 70% or more), confirming your preferred course dates, and calculating your final net course fee.
05
Are there requirements for passing the course?
Yes. Learners must maintain at least 75% attendance to remain eligible for subsidies. For WSQ courses with assessments, participants must also complete and pass the required assessment. Please note that full course fees remain non-refundable regardless of the grade.

What certifications will I receive after completing a course?
Depending on the course, you will receive either a WSQ Statement of Attainment, an iTEC/VTCT UK Diploma, SOQ Diploma or Certificate of Completion. These qualifications are recognized locally and internationally, strengthening your professional profile.
