PRIVATE EDUCATION ACT

The Enhanced Registration Framework (ERF), as set out under the Private Education Act and the Private Education. ENHANCED REGISTRATION FRAMEWORK (ERF) Regulations, spells out the mandatory registration requirements and legislative obligations which all PEIs, operating in and from Singapore, must meet.

It is administered by the CPE, which is the sectoral regulator overseeing the private education sector, as established under the Private Education Act.

The ERF aims to enhance the overall quality of PEIs in Singapore and ensure that they are of a certain acceptable standard in order to protect the interests of students. The ERF examines a PEI based on the following aspects:

  • Corporate Governance
  • Quality of Provisions
  • Information Transparency

Training Vision Institute is currently registered under the ERF with a validity period from 8 Nov 2020 to 7 Nov 2024.

EDUTRUST CERTIFICATION SCHEME

The EduTrust Certification Scheme is a voluntary scheme administered by the CPE for PEIs in Singapore. It replaces the CaseTrust for Education scheme administered by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).

The scheme provides a means for better PEIs to differentiate themselves as having achieved higher standards in key areas of management and provision of educational services. The scheme allows PEIs to enrol international students.


Training Vision Institute has been awarded 4 Years EduTrust certification as of 21 March 2025.

FEE PROTECTION SCHEME (FPS)

The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) serves to protect students’ fees in the event a private education institution is unable to continue operating due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. The Fee Protection Scheme also protects students if the private education institution fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students arising from a judgment made against it by the Singapore courts.

All EduTrust-certified private education institutions (PEI) are required to adopt a Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) to protect all fees paid by ALL students for the course(s) required to be under FPS unless otherwise waived by the Committee for Private Education. Training Vision Institute- Higher Education has put in place a Fee Protection Scheme (the “FPS”) as stipulated by the Council for Private Education (CPE) by way of an insurance facility with Lonpac Insurance Bhd.

TVI has adopted the FPS Group Insurance Scheme effective from 1st November 2021.
