Make the switch to tech with IMDA’s TIPP

Cut your costs, not your potential.

With support from IMDA’s Tech Immersion and Placement Programme (TIPP), you don’t have to take the leap alone. Designed for mid-career professionals, TIPP makes it easier for Singapore Citizens and PRs to reskill, rebuild, and relaunch their careers in tech—with financial support, hands-on training, and a strong portfolio to show for it.

Our Software Engineering, Data Analytics, and User Experience (UX) Design* Bootcamps are covered under the TIPP subsidy. These programs are built by industry experts and come with dedicated career coaching to help you secure your dream role.

*TIPP slots are limited and subject to availability.

To tap into TIPP’s support, you must:

• Be a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident.
• Successfully complete a pre-admission screening and interview.
• Be committed to seeking employment in a tech role within 6 months after your course.
• Complete the bootcamp, meeting minimum attendance requirements.

Eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents can receive a significant subsidy, making your investment surprisingly affordable. Below is a sample cost breakdown.

	Singaporeans/PRs under 40	Singaporeans/PRs 40 and older
Course fees (before GST)	14,500	14,500
TIPP subsidy amount	9,100	11,700
Student pays GA (before GST)*	5,550	2,950

Note: Exact subsidy percentages may vary slightly based on specific course fees and GST at time of enrolment. Prices exclude $150 non-refundable fee.

*Course fees can be further lowered with SkillsFuture Credits or PSEA funds. See below for details.

Maximise your funding options

In addition to TIPP or SSG, you may also apply your SkillsFuture Credits and PSEA Funds to further reduce your bootcamp fees. If you are a NTUC or NTUC Starter member, you are also eligible for course-fee support.

SkillsFuture Credit

All Singapore Citizens age 25 and older can use their SGD 500 SkillsFuture Credit from the government to pay for approved skills-related courses. This credit can be used to offset fees of eligible GA programmes.

Note: The SGD 4,000 Mid-Career Credit top-up is generally not applicable for GA bootcamps.
