Since March 2021, 28 JDMIS Professional Certificate courses became eligible for generous SkillsFuture funding. The funding covers 50-70% of the tuition fees for each course, with no limit on the number of courses learners can sign up for. They can even use your SkillsFuture credits to offset the balance amount on top of the funding. Since then, over 500 JDMIS students have benefited from this scheme to jumpstart their careers and businesses in the sparkling jewellery industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
In the case of courses that include asynchronous online learning components, you are also required to view/complete these elements. Every login is reported to SSG and your progress (measured by your marking course modules as 'complete' in our e-learning platform) is used by SSG to evaluate your online attendance/completion. Your instructor will help you understand the process, which is easy and painless. It is not possible to claim funding without logging in and completing the asynchronous e-learning components and these must be completed before the end of your course.
Cancellation with less than 5 days will incur an additional last-minute cancellation fee of up to $321, and no cancellation will be accommodated on or after the course start date. You may refer to the full table of administrative fees in the JDMIS short course refund policy page..
With advance notice, JDMIS can work with you to find alternatives to make up for missing days and where appropriate, may even be able to resubmit your grant request for a future course (subject to approval from external parties). Please note that as a matter of policy, neither JDMIS nor SSG, under any circumstances, pro-rate course fees or course fee grants.
SSG requires attendance and assessment requirement be met in order to disburse grants. There are no exceptions.
If you commit to take a class and start a class with JDMIS, you are liable for those course fees, regardless of circumstances. There is no ‘undo’ option once JDMIS has committed space and recourses to your intended training schedule.
If you have extenuating circumstances (whatever they may be) JDMIS remains flexible to allow you to make up your classes at a later date and even use the school’s generous refresher policy to start again and ensure your learning is complete despite your extenuating circumstances.
JDMIS has a re-scheduling fee of $45 per session that we will waive for official reasons such as those supported by a medical certificate for you or a direct family member, or for evidence of accident or personal loss.
*Important NoteG requires a minimum of 70% attendance and completion of assessments according to your original scheduled intake. If you fall below this, (with or without an official excuse), there are non-refundable and non-waivable fees of $145 per session/per assessment that are associated with the administrative cost of claiming your grant across multiple course runs.
SSG requires that ANY AND ALL remedial action (such as course make-up lessons and assessments) be completed not more than 60 days after the course date. Failure to complete such lessons will result in your grant being withdrawn and will result in any grant deductions on your original course fees being payable in full and immediately to JDMIS.
JDMIS is under no obligation to provide make-up courses or assessments outside of its existing regularly scheduled courses – and such sessions are subject to availability. If no sessions are available, if it you are unable to complete your remedial actions within 60 days, the grant will be withdrawn and the grant deductions will become payable. If you have what SSG consider legitimate reasons for being unable to complete your training (such as an official MC for yourself) then it may be possible for you to submit an appeal to SSG to extend the time needed to fulfil the grant requirements.
JDMIS cannot appeal on behalf of individuals. Appeals (submitted, under considerations or approved) do not change the requirement that grant deductions made of your course fees must be paid in full to JDMIS.
In cases where appeals are approved by SSG AND where you are subsequently able to complete any and all conditions of the appeal response from SSG, JDMIS will refund the grant fees to you (less any transaction fees associated with the collection or refund of the amount) within two weeks of JDMIS verifying the grant pay-out from SSG has been made. Typically, this I between 3 and 6 months after completion of appeal conditions.
According to an advisory issued by tripartite partners - the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), National Trades Union Congress and Singapore National Employers Federation, Medical certificates are not required for exemption from work or other activities due to COVID. However, SSG will require evidence of your illness if you choose to appeal and JDMIS cannot advise on what evidence they will accept when considering appeal cases. We recommend you keep detailed evidence of your illness (such as clearly marked test results) in case you need to submit an appeal to SSG.
JDMIS accepts a COVID positive test as evidence of illness for the purposes of waiving its $45 rescheduling fees for non-SSG-funded participants. Such test results are only considered as valid from the first day they were recorded to a period not more than 5 days after the first positive test result. This is in-line with national guidelines.
