Your Learning, Your Growth: Policies That Empower and Protect You
At Mind Transformations, we are committed to creating an enriching and supportive learning environment for every learner. To ensure transparency, fairness, and mutual understanding, we have outlined the following terms and conditions to empower you throughout your learning journey.
1. Your Commitment for SkillsFuture-Funded Programmes

- Collect relevant data (e.g., NRIC/FIN/Passport numbers, date of birth) for enrollment and SSG submission purposes.
3. Payment of Course Fees, Registration Fees and Administration Fees (applicable for funded and non-funded programmes)

These fees help us ensure efficient administrative support tailored to your needs.

You may transfer your seat in an enrolled course to another individual. An administrative fee of $30 applies (refer to Item 3 - Payment of Course Fees, Registration Fees and Administration Fees).
To do so, you must inform us through Mind Transformations Change Request Form and register the new person. At the point of registration, the new learner may select a different class intake for the enrolled course. Changing to a different course than the one enrolled is not allowed.
This must be done no less than 1 week before the course commencement date for the course that you have enrolled.
If the new learner is not registered, it will be considered a course withdrawal by you and no refund of the course fee will be given.
If you have submitted a SkillsFuture Credit claim for the course, you are responsible for cancelling that claim.
7. Withdrawing from a Course and refund (applicable for funded and non-funded programmes)
We practise both fairness and mutual accountability in our course withdrawal process. Requests to withdraw from a course must be submitted through Mind Transformations Change Request Form, which will be processed within 10 working days.
Upon withdrawal, we will process your refund based on the following terms (less any applicable bank administrative charges properly paid / payable):
- More than 2 weeks before course commencement: 100% of the paid course fee.
- 1 to 2 weeks before course commencement: 50% of the paid course fee.
- Less than 1 week before course commencement: No refund.
If you have submitted a SkillsFuture Credit claim for the course, you are responsible for cancelling that claim.
Refund is not applicable to learners who:
- Did not attend class without any prior notification about their absence.
- Drop out halfway through the course and do not complete the course.
8. No-show Policy
If you do not show up at the training venue on the first day of the course, without informing us via email communication to info@nlpsgasia.com before the first 2 hours have lapsed, it will be considered a “No Show” and you are automatically withdrawn from the course. No refund of the course fee will be given.
9. Funding Eligibility
Funding eligibility is subjected to SkillsFuture Singapore’s requirements, such as meeting the minimum required attendance, and passing the assessment with a competent grade of “C”. If you fail to meet the requirements, you will not be eligible to receive the training subsidy, and we will bill you for the full course fees.
Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents can enjoy SSG grants/subsidies only once for each of the WSQ courses.
10. Assessment Requirements
Any deferments of assessment must be supported by relevant documents.
Only Singaporean males required to attend National Service (NS) call-ups on assessment dates are eligible for assessment deferment, as are people with valid medical certification or on compassionate leave.

The grading for the courses is in accordance with Mind Transformations’ pre-determined assessment plan.
