Private Schools in Singapore are governed by the Committee for Private Education (CPE) through two regulatory frameworks: the mandatory ERF and voluntary EduTrust certification. In April 2023, EduTrust Certification Scheme was updated to Guidance Document 4 (GD4) to improve the overall standard of Private Schools in Singapore. Changes include regrouping criterion requirements, stricter EduTrust assessment process, and the introduction of performance outcomes. Private Schools must comply with these changes or risk losing their certification.

The Singapore training and education market is evolving. Given the size of the market, government funding allocations, and the requirement that the workforce has a deeper understanding of recently acquired skills and knowledge to meet future economic demands, the market is moving favourably for training providers.
