Course Details

CEI Upgrade Basic to KAH | Certificate of Employment Intermediaries

Course Overview

The CEI Basic to KAH Upgrade Course is designed for individuals who have previously attended CEI Basic training and wish to progress towards Key Appointment Holder (KAH) certification.

Instead of repeating the full CEI KAH course, eligible learners can attend the 4-hour KAH upgrading module, which covers additional knowledge relevant to key appointment holders in Singapore’s employment agency industry.

Course attendance does not automatically grant CEI KAH certification. Learners must meet the applicable assessment and regulatory requirements.

Prerequisites:

Before beginning this course, it’s essential to have the following:

  • Current CEI (Basic or Basic Non-FDW) holders are eligible for this course. Additionally, a copy of the CEI (Basic) attendance or completion course certificate must be provided via email upon registration.
  • The course is open to public registration.

Certifications Granted:

Upon completion of the course, a certificate of attendance will be issued. Moreover, participants can expect to receive this certificate promptly after the last day of the course, ensuring they have official recognition of their participation.

Additional Details:

Participants can choose to take the test without attending the course. However, if they fail on their first attempt, they must complete the course before retaking the test.

Additionally, they only need to attend the course once, no matter how many times they retake the test.

In order to receive the Certificate of Attendance, participants must achieve a minimum of 75% attendance.

Furthermore, registering for the course at Absolute Kinetics Consultancy Pte Ltd does not fulfill MOM registration requirements. Therefore, clients must complete their own registration with MOM via the OBLS website.

Finally, under the revised Employment Agency Regulatory Framework, key appointment holders of employment agencies are required to attend and pass the certification. Specifically, existing key appointment holders must obtain the certification within one year, while new key appointment holders must do so before registering with the Ministry of Manpower.
