Funding
What is claimable, what is not, and what we will not pretend about
Praxora Lab is a practice founded in 2026. Two accreditations are live and usable today; the rest of the schemes below are ones we are not on yet. Both halves of that are stated here, because a training budget holder needs the real answer before a scoping call, not after one.
Available now
Accreditations a buyer can use today
-
WSQ (Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications)
Available nowDelivered by a WSQ-accredited adult educator. Confirm scope at scoping.
-
HRD Corp claimable
Available nowDelivered by an HRDC-accredited trainer. Confirm scope at scoping.
Both accreditations above sit with Dr. Joshua Lau, who leads the Capacity Building track and has delivered generative and agentic AI training to more than 1,000 learners across Singapore and Malaysia. They attach to that track's delivery rather than to the catalogue as a whole, so the practical question at scoping is whether your engagement can be scoped under it. Ask directly and you will get a direct answer.
Not yet
Schemes we are not accredited for
Listed rather than omitted. Course-fee accreditation takes months and a track record; a practice founded this year does not have one yet, and saying so is cheaper for everyone than a vague answer on a call.

Practical
What this means when you cost a booking
Open-cohort seats and integrated programmes are quoted unfunded today. Budget the full fee. If SSG or IBF accreditation lands before your cohort runs, we will tell you and reprice, not keep the difference.
Capacity Building engagements can be scoped under the WSQ and HRD Corp accreditations above where the curriculum and delivery fit their requirements. This is the question to raise first in a scoping conversation, because it changes the shape of the engagement, not just its price.
Consulting and delivery projects are a different funding route altogether. The Enterprise Development Grant funds qualifying automation and transformation projects rather than training seats, and grant scoping is part of the Engineering & Delivery track rather than something claimed against a workshop fee.
Overseas participants are not eligible for Singapore schemes regardless of accreditation status, which is standard across every provider here.
