Training for staff to achieve the work performance standards stipulated by the NSRS is provided by a network of approved training centres (ATCs) which conduct approved training programmes (ATPs). These programmes can be conducted on or off the job.

Located in companies and training institutions, these approved training centres operate through a pool of experienced trainers drawn from industry. Companies wishing to train their staff can send them to any ATC or apply to conduct training for their staff in-house.

Courses accorded the ATP status are eligible to enjoy enhanced SDF funding of up to 80% of course fee subject to $8 per trainee-hour. For those who are aged 40 and above and holding A' level qualification and below, they could enjoy enhanced funding of up to 90% of course fees subject to $16 per trainee hour*. Only approved training programmes conducted by ATC are eligible for the enhanced SDF support.
