OpenCerts Digital Certificates and Transcripts
All learners who have completed their Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) modular courses and Full Qualification (FQ) programmes and have been assessed as competent are issued with an E-Certificate for their Statements of Attainment (SOAs).
OpenCerts is a blockchain-based platform that enables the issuance and verification of tamper-proof certificates and transcripts. SSG will cease the E-Certificate system by 30 June 2024 and will adopt only OpenCerts for digital certificate issuance. Learners who have completed certifiable programmes funded by SSG will only be issued OpenCerts certificates upon being assessed as competent. They will be able to download and/or print their OpenCerts certificates on the MySkillsFuture portal or via OpenCerts.io.

Learners who have been issued certificates prior to the cessation of E-Certificates on 30 June 2024 will still be able to access their E-Certificates on the MySkillsFuture portal for the time being. By Q2 2025, all E-Certificate records will be converted to OpenCerts.
