All PEI’s currently need to be registered with the Council for
Private Education in order to operate in Singapore and the registration
process takes into account the PEI’s corporate governance, quality of
provision and information transparency.
In addition, PEI’s that take in international students need to have
EduTrust certification. There are 3 levels of EduTrust certification –
EduTrust Star (valid for 4 years), EduTrust (valid for 4 years) and
EduTrust Provisional (valid for 1 year).
PEI’s must seek approval from the Council for Private Education to
offer any external degrees offered in partnership with bona fide
universities and they are only allowed to offer qualifications of up to
Advanced Diploma level in their own name.
A Fee Protection Scheme has also been established to protect the
tuition fees of students studying at PEI. It is a mandate that PEI’s
have to either deposit the fees in an escrow account or purchase
insurance protection administered by CPE-approved companies.
