    • Diploma and above qualifications declared to MOM will have to be supported with verification proofs to confirm their authenticity.
    • Enter the details as they appear on the educational certificate and the verification proof.
    • For an awarding institution not found in the list, you must provide, from a background screening company:
      1. Verification proof of authenticity of the educational qualification, and
      2. The awarding institution’s accreditation status.
    • For a ‘degree equivalent’ professional qualification, please select the recognised qualification level.
    • For selected professional occupations (e.g. healthcare), verification proofs from Singapore’s professional bodies are also accepted.

     

    2️⃣    *If you are applying for ‘S Pass only’:*
