EduTrust is a voluntary certification scheme that helps to distinguish higher quality players in Singapore’s private education industry. A PEI is awarded EduTrust certification if it has achieved the stipulated standards in the areas of:

• Management Commitment and Responsibilities
• Corporate Governance and Administration
• External Recruitment Agents
• Student Protection and Support Services
• Academic Processes and Assessment of Students
• Quality Assurance, Monitoring and Results

The Fee Protection Scheme serves to protect the students’ fees in the event a PEO is unable to continue operations due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. Furthermore, the FPS protects the student if the PEO fails to pay penalties or return fees to the student arising from judgements made against it by the Singapore courts.

EduTrust-certified private education institutions are required to adopt the Fee Protection Scheme to provide full protection to all fees paid by their students. All fees refer to all monies paid by the students to be enrolled in a private education institution, excluding the course agent commission fee(if applicable), miscellaneous fees(non-compulsory and non-stand fee paid onlywhen necessary or where applicable, for example, the re-exam fee or charges for credit card payment etc) and GST.

SmartLab® has adopted Master Escrow scheme (via DBS bank) to provide fee protection to all her students.

All EduTrusted PEOs will be listed on Council for Private Education website at www.cpe.gov.sg. Alternatively, the prospective student can always contact CPE for further enquiries on the list of EduTrusted PEOs.

All EduTrusted PEOs are required to have a Standard Students Contract. This contract will provide more transparency for enrolling international students, detailing information such as course fees, start and end date of course, facilities provided by the schools and recourse in the event of the need for fee refund etc.

Like most of Southeast Asia, Singapore is generally hot and humid. It's warm and humid year round, with the temperature almost never dropping below 20°C (68°F), even at night, and usually climbing to 30°C (86°F) during the day. Recent times, it even reached till 35°C. Humidity is high, mounting over a 75% mark. November and December is the rainy season. June-August is considered to be the best time to visit, but even then it rains often. Don't let the climate stop you from going, however. Most buildings are air-conditioned (to the point that you may want to take a sweater), and pains have been taken to make everything as comfortable as can be, all things considered. When it does rain, it's generally only for a short period. For those who enjoy the sun and the beach, Singapore is an ideal place for beach lovers, as you get the hot hot sun throughout the year.

Singapore is known to have the most readily available Internet in all of Asia. In the major shopping complexes, business district wireless Internet is freely available by wireless@SG. Other than that you can sign up for various broadband and wireless Internet packages provided at reasonable prices by the various Internet Service providers of Singapore. At the centres which have wireless internet broadband, candidates can go online using their own laptops.
