Accreditation status of five training providers cancelled

THE Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has cancelled the Accredited Training Provider status of five training providers for training and assessment malpractices which compromised the integrity of the Workplace Safety and Health courses conducted.

The five training providers are Work Safe Academy Pte Ltd; Propel Consultants Pte Ltd; Regent Global Consultants Pte Ltd; Bright Training Centre Pte Ltd and Ark HSE Management Solutions Pte Ltd.

Investigations found that the training providers had failed to conduct courses according to stipulated course durations, to ensure trainees' language proficiency for the courses and to uphold the integrity of examination procedures, said MOM on Thursday.

Since 2010, MOM has cancelled the accreditation status of 11 training providers for similar violations.
