Under the NEA Point Demerit System, all food handlers must attend the WSQ Food Hygiene Course. License holders may get 6 demerit points and be fined if they fail to send their food handlers for the course and register them.
The course fee is S$54 (incl 8% GST) per participant.
To help companies and individuals offset the cost of training, SSG will provide funding for the course fee (eligible Singaporeans, PRs and LTVP+ holders only) and absentee payroll.
Participants will be awarded a Statement of Attainment by SSG upon passing an oral/written examination and practical assessment administered by Ascendo Academy.
