Teaching pre-primary in Singapore
Singapore pre-school teachers need ECDA certification; use this course only as additional professional development.
Singapore has a tightly regulated pre-school sector of childcare centres and kindergartens.
Requirements to check
Pre-school teachers in Singapore must be certified by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) through ECDA-accredited courses. APTTI's course is not ECDA-accredited, so treat it as professional development, not a route to ECDA certification.
