6.11 The e-PREP Scheme - Upgrade with e-PREP<br />

The e-PREP (Electronic Preparatory) Scheme for the Full-time Police National<br />

Servicemen (PNSFs) was implemented to help PNSFs transit from full-time NS to<br />

further their studies by providing online preparatory and refresher courses for PNSFs.<br />

Under the scheme, all eligible PNSFs will be able to participate in e-PREP during<br />

their last 12 months of service. Each PNSF will be given an e-PREP subsidy of $350<br />

to offset up to 90% of the course fees. The remaining 10% of the course fees will<br />

be borne by the PNSF. Any unused credits will be rolled over for use within one<br />

year of ORD.<br />

With e-PREP, PNSFs will be eligible to subscribe to over 4,000 courses offered by<br />

the participating local institutions of higher learning and e-learning providers such<br />

as Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Polytechnic, Institute of Technical<br />

Education, Auratech, etc. Example of courses offered are Academic Refresher<br />

Courses, Professional Certifi cation and Vocational Courses and Soft Skills Courses.<br />

Furthermore, you will receive a “Certifi cate of Completion” from the course<br />

provider once you have successfully completed a course.<br />

We strongly encourage you to take up suitable and relevant courses to upgrade<br />

your skills and knowledge. You can access and complete these e-courses at your<br />

own free time using your PC at home as all courses are delivered through the<br />

internet.<br />

For more information on e-PREP, you may access the e-PREP website through NS<br />

Portal. Please ensure that you have a NS Portal ID/ Singpass as you will need to log<br />

in to access e-PREP. Alternatively, you may also wish to approach your divisional<br />

PPO for assistance.<br />
