Life Skills training covers three broad areas:
- Psychosocial skills, including interpersonal skills.
- Societal skills, including communication skills.
- Occupational and livelihood skills, including employability and financial management skills.
Can I enroll?
Anyone can enroll in Life Skills training. You do not need any previous educational qualifications to enroll. Students in Standard One through Form Six receive Life Skills training as part of the standard curriculum and do not need to apply to take Life Skills courses through the Ministry of Tertiary Education and Skills Training.
How do I enroll?
Life Skills training is available from the Ministry of Tertiary Education and Skills Training through its affiliated programmes:
- The Multi-Sector Skills Training Programme (MuST).
