For registration of the SEM / ApLM@NTC conducted by NTC, is there a need to raise a Purchase Order?
For registration of the SEM / ApLM@NTC conducted by NTC, is there a need to raise a Purchase Order?
There is no need to raise a Purchase Order or do GeBiz Evaluation for Specialized Elective Modules /ApLM@NTC. Schools can register directly through the application link (SEM / ApLM@NTC Application Form), on a first-come-first-served basis and seek the Principal’s approval for the courses. NTC will then require a formal confirmation from the school through an email, copied to the Principal, indicating that the approval has been requested. After the students’ completion of the Specialized Elective Modules (SEM), NTC will then bill the school for the Specialized Elective Modules (SEM).

When the schools are unable to fulfil the minimum class size, they can consider the following options stated below:
• Combining their Normal Stream classes in the school and have a range of the SEM / ApLM@NTC classes to fulfil the minimum class size as required.
• Combining the SEM / ApLM@NTC classes with other schools which are taking the same SEM to fulfil the minimum class size. Schools can register for the SEM indicated as “merged class” and these smaller slots of 9-11 pax will be combined to form a class size of at least 18 students.
• Spreading students with irregular attendance across the SEM classes so as to reduce the possibility of the SEM class size falling below 18 participants. Schools are advised to ascertain students’ interest and participation before registering the places with NTC for SEM /ApLM@NTC and must ensure the following below:
• Number of students who are attending an SEM class adheres to the number of students registered and confirmed with NTC (as far as possible).
• Number of students who are registered with NTC and the number of students who attended the SEM /ApLM@NTC are accurately reported in the Half-Yearly Returns (HYR) to be submitted to MOE after the completion of the SEM.
*Depending on the SMM at that point of time, if students are not allowed to intermingle, please check with NTC should there be problems with meeting the class size requirement.
Are schools allowed to make changes to the confirmed attendance lists for the SEM /ApLM@NTC after submission of the students' application to NTC?

Schools should inform NTC at least one week before the commencement of SEM classes of such cases and provide details of the affected students and date and time to be excused so that the NTC trainers can be updated and are able to advise whether this would affect the students’ attendance and in-course assessments.
Affected students could also remind NTC trainers on the first day of the course so that any alternative arrangements for in-course assessment can be made if required.
Can schools cancel the SEM /ApLM@NTC application before or even after registration?

What is the role of the accompanying teachers for SEM / ApLM@NTC?
What is the role of the accompanying teachers for SEM / ApLM@NTC?
Schools will receive reporting instructions and course guidelines from NTC at least one month before the course commencement. Accompanying teachers who are deployed could be briefed of these instructions and the course guidelines. It is advisable to have accompanying teachers if the SEM class is a merged class with other school(s).
Schools may wish to deploy subject teachers as the accompanying teachers to better support the students’ on-site learning experience. For example, a PE teacher could be accompanying students who are attending the SEM for “Fitness for Life” class to provide better follow-up in school, upon completion of the SEM course.
Schools are reminded that for any out-of-school activities, teachers are responsible for the learning outcomes and as well as the safety of the students. Schools are advised to refer to the guidelines on school safety as follows below: http://intranet.moe.gov.sg/schoolsafety.
