Fee Protection Scheme
Introduction to the Fee Protection Scheme (FPS)
The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) serves to protect students’ fees in the event a private education institution is unable to continue operating due to insolvency, and/or regulatory closure. The Fee Protection Scheme also protects students if the private education institution fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students arising from judgement made against it by the Singapore courts.
EduTrust-certified private education institutions are required to adopt the Fee Protection Scheme to provide full protection to all fees paid by their students. All fees refer to all monies paid by the students to be enrolled in a private education institution, excluding the course application fee, agent commission fee (if applicable), miscellaneous fees (non-compulsory and non-standard fee paid only when necessary or where applicable, for example, the re-exam fee or charges for credit card payment etc,) and GST.
Beacon International College has adopted the FPS-Group insurance scheme to provide fee protection to all their students. Under the FPS Group Insurance scheme, a Certificate of Insurance (COI) will be issued to the PEIs by the FPS Insurance Providers with a determined insurable amount to cover all course fees to be collected by the PEI during the period of indemnity.
Insurance Scheme
Beacon International College has entered into a master insurance agreement between CPE and Lonpac Insurance Bhd for the purpose of insuring, among other things, the student. A copy of the Insurance Certificate can be found here.
For more information on the FPS, please visit the CPE Website.
