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 judgment made against it by the Singapore courts. It was first launched as the SPS (Student Protection Scheme) initiated by CASETRUST and now it has been replaced with FPS (Fee Protection Scheme) under EduTrust.
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.
Birmingham Academy provides FPS Insurance Scheme to all our students to protect the course fees. School shall purchase FPS Insurance within 7 working days from the date of receipt of the course fees. The insurance coverage shall commence from the date of receipt of the course fees till the due date of the next payment or the course end date, whichever is earlier. Birmingham Academy is using the services of The Lonpac Insurance Bhd, one of the service providers for FPS appointed by CPE.

When I first came to Birmingham Academy, I do not have a great impression as the academy wasn’t very big. I was thinking of transferring school but decided to try for a week. It was amazing. The lecturers are very professional and experience. I learnt a lot from them. The student welfare was delighted and it makes me really at ease in a foreign country. What surprise me is that when I try to check the value of the Diploma awarded by Birmingham Academy by applying for a job, I was shortlisted for the job. I’m happy I got a proper and recognised academy to study. I will be more than willing to recommend an international student to study here.
