SWDA ATO services in Singapore, formerly SSG ATO — become a registered training provider.
Our SWDA ATO and OR services take Singapore organisations end-to-end through the SWDA (formerly SSG) Organisation Registration on TPGateway and Course Application — policies, SOPs, learner agreement, course submission, the mock-up website and the half-day on-site assessment. Fixed-fee. Predictable timeline.
[ TPGateway fee: S$545 (GST inclusive, non-refundable). Application is separate from our consultancy. ]
Mock-up website, built for you
SWDA's Stage 2 asks for a mock-up website or brochure showing nine items, from nett fees to named trainers. We build it to the marketing guidelines, so you don't need a developer.
On-site assessment, rehearsed
SWDA goes through the half-day assessment requirement by requirement. We rehearse your process owners until they can show the manual, the process and a real record for each.
Course and organisation, together
Organisation Registration is filed with a Course Application, and both must be approved. We prepare them as one case, including the WSQ 2.0 route check for your course.
What our SWDA ATO services in Singapore cover
To receive SkillsFuture funding for your courses, your organisation must first be registered as an Approved Training Organisation (ATO). Since July 2026, when SSG and WSG merged, that registration is handled by SWDA — the Skills and Workforce Development Agency. Our SWDA ATO services in Singapore, which many people still search for as SSG ATO services, prepare everything SWDA needs to assess you, and coach your team until you are live.
SWDA assesses Organisation Registration against its “System and Capabilities” framework — two criteria covering how your organisation is run and how your training is delivered. Assessors look for closed-loop processes: who does what, when, how it is recorded and how it is reviewed. Our ATO service writes those processes into your Policies and Operations Manual, builds the annexes and evidence behind them, and rehearses the on-site assessment with you.
Tertiary Infotech Academy is itself a registered training provider with a Grade 1 TPQA result, so our ATO service in Singapore is built on what assessors actually ask for. After you are approved, our TPQA service and WSQ courseware development keep you compliant.

Common questions about our SWDA ATO services.
What does your ATO service in Singapore include?+
Our ATO service in Singapore covers eligibility review, the Policies and Operations Manual, SOPs, learner agreement, the TPGateway Organisation Registration and Course Application, and coaching for the half-day on-site SWDA assessment — one fixed-fee engagement.
Are SSG ATO services the same as SWDA ATO services?+
Yes, it is the same need under the regulator's current name. SSG and WSG merged into SWDA in July 2026, so what many people still search for as SSG ATO services or SSG OR services in Singapore is now SWDA ATO services and SWDA OR services. You still apply on TPGateway.
What is a SWDA OR service?+
SSG and WSG merged into SWDA in July 2026, so first-time training providers now apply to SWDA for Organisation Registration (OR). A SWDA OR service prepares the OR application and the manual SWDA assesses against its "System and Capabilities" criteria.
Do you offer a SWDA IBF OR service for financial-sector courses?+
Yes. If you plan to run IBF-accredited courses, our SWDA IBF OR service sequences your SWDA Organisation Registration with the IBF course accreditation, so the two applications use consistent policies, trainers and evidence. See our IBF OR services and IBF course development.
How much does the ATO application cost?+
The TPGateway application fee is S$545 (GST inclusive) and is non-refundable. The fee for our ATO service is scoped per engagement after the free Consultation step — typically covering the manual, policy/SOP build, course submission package and audit-readiness coaching.
How long does it take to become an ATO?+
Most SWDA ATO service engagements run 10–14 weeks from project start to approval, assuming eligibility (entity, financials, 1-year track record) is already in place. We confirm a concrete timeline at the Quotation step.
Do I need an existing training track record?+
Yes. SWDA requires at least one year of training and education delivery, conducted regularly (at least quarterly), with documented lesson plans, assessment plans, attendance and learner feedback. We help you compile and present this evidence.
What's the difference between Public, In-House and Both?+
Public TP serves the general public and corporate clients. In-House TP serves only your own employees. Both is a dual model. You must designate one category in your OR application — we'll help you choose based on your commercial strategy.
Can you build the mock-up website SWDA asks for?+
Yes. Stage 2 asks for a mock-up website or sample brochure showing nine disclosure items, including course fees, funding validity and the names of senior management and trainers. We build it to SWDA's marketing guidelines and check it before you submit.
What happens at the on-site SWDA assessment?+
SWDA conducts a half-day on-site assessment of your policies, operations, training premises and supporting evidence. Our SWDA OR service rehearses the entire flow with your process owners — showing each requirement in the manual, the process and one real record. Ask SWDA before any consultant attends: some officers have asked that no external consultant be present.
Can a previously terminated TP reapply?+
Yes, but ex-RTPs must meet all current OR requirements and additionally develop an internal quality assurance manual addressing TPQA Criteria 2.1 and 2.4. We handle the full reapplication scope — and our TPQA service keeps you compliant afterwards.
