Unique SkillsFuture Courses
Perhaps one of Singapore’s most successful initiatives, SkillsFuture encourages Singaporeans to adopt lifelong learning and take charge of their personal development. Better known for its Credit scheme, it gives eligible Singaporeans an initial credit of $500 to defray training course fees, and have no expiry date.
While most tap on this scheme to further their professional skillsets, there are actually other SkillsFuture eligible courses available catered to hobbyists or those looking to switch careers. So if you are looking to pick up a new skill or two, here are four unique professionally certified courses for you to consider.
Chef Dreaming
Although many of us do not have the same skills and flair like Gordon Ramsey when it comes to cooking, one can always aspire to be an actual chef. So if you consider yourself the master of your kitchen and want to further your skills, why not try your hand at culinary arts?
Conducted by renowned local culinary school, At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy, the holistic course covers theory and focuses heavily on practical lessons. These practical lessons conducted at Asian and Western restaurants, will give you the opportunity to refine your skills and gain real-world kitchen experience.

Riding on culinary arts, if baking is something you prefer, there are also courses like bread making. Covering the basics of baking bread, this course teaches you the science behind a good toast and provides a hands-on approach to learning.
