The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) serves to protect students’ fees in the event that a PEI is unable to continue operating due to insolvency and/or regulatory closure.

The FPS also protects students if the PEI fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students arising from judgments made against it by the Singapore courts. The FPS is compulsory for all students (local and international) taking courses at PEIs with EduTrust Certification. The FPS applies to courses with a duration of more than 1 month or 50 hours and provides full protection for all fees paid by the students. Students enrolled in these courses are required to pay a fee for FPS, which varies depending on the fees of the courses insured.

    • SHRM has a Fee Protection Scheme Group Insurance (FPS-G) policy with an SWDA-approved FPS provider, so that the course fees of all enrolled students are protected. SHRM reports the fees paid by students to the insurer every month. Each payment is protected from the date it is paid until the end of the course.

      SHRM’s FPS provider is Liberty Insurance Pte Ltd. All compulsory fees paid by you to be enrolled at SHRM are protected under the FPS. The following fees are not protected:

      • the application fee;
      • Goods and Services Tax (GST);
      • the FPS insurance premium;
      • examination fees collected less than 2 months before the examination date; and
      • miscellaneous fees, which are non-compulsory fees that students pay only when necessary or applicable (for example, supplementary paper and repeat fees). These are normally collected on an ad-hoc basis when the need arises and will be reflected clearly in the Student Contract.

All students are required to be covered by Medical Insurance for their entire course duration with SHRM. All SHRM students are covered under a group medical insurance scheme(Liberty Pte. Limited) with an annual coverage limit of S$20,000 per student and provides for 24-hour coverage in Singapore and overseas (if the student is involved in SHRM-related activities). If students need assistance in submitting a claim, they can approach the Admissions & Operations Division.
