Coach education funding

The National Instructors & Coaches Association (NICA) was formed by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) to be the collective voice to support freelance coaches and instructors from sports, outdoor learning and adventure, visual and performing arts, fitness and wellness, and enrichment, to strengthen skills, standards and opportunities.

In supporting NICA members with skills deepening programmes such as the courses offered by Singapore Gymnastics (SG), NICA members enjoy lower course fees through the Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP), which provides a 50% subsidy of the balance unfunded course fee, up to $250 per calendar year. NICA members aged 40 years and above will enjoy higher funding support up to $500 per calendar year, capped at 50% of the unfunded course fee.

If you wish to be part of a bigger voice for coaches and instructors, please sign up to be a NICA member at: www.ntuc.co/nica (Note: to select “Freelancer/SEP - Sports Coaches / Outdoor Learning Instructors” under the field for Occupational Group).
