    Learn Mandarin (subsidized by WDA)

    Dear Ladies,

    Mandarin classes are organized by Singaporean Indian Chamber of Commerce, and is subsidized 95% by WDA(Workforce Development Authority). [Actual course fee is $2000, but after subsidy you pay $90].

    This is for Singaporean Indians and PRs only. The catch is you need to maintain 75% attendance and take a test at the end(grades/pass/fail doesn't matter), else you'll have to pay in full :) Total 150 hrs of class. 50 classes of 3hrs each. 2 days a week. So its for about 6.5 months. More details at: Business Mandarin for Beginners

    They have a batch starting in December..

    I've joined the November batch, starting yesterday. And it is fun. Guess learning the language of the majority of this country is a good thing. And home makers can utilize their time in learning something new as well!

    Re: Learn Mandarin (subsidized by WDA)

    Hi Shaloam,

    I am assuming DP is dependant's pass?

    I'm afraid this course is open only for Singapore Citizens of Indian descent and Indian PRs. Not applicable to EP / DP / SP holders, as far as I know.
