The private education institutions (PEIs) in Singapore are regulated by the Committee for Private Education (CPE), earlier known as the Council for Private Education. It is an agency under the Skills Future Singapore (SSG) and was earlier a statutory board under the Ministry of Education of Singapore (MOE).

Singaporean private education institutions are only allowed to offer courses which have been permitted by CPE. The EduTrust Certification Scheme evaluates a PEI’s school governance and administration, academic and financial processes, quality management, welfare and protection of students through fee protection. The 4-year EduTrust award is granted to a private educational institute for its good performance in areas such as the provision of educational services and management.

PEIs issue certificates and award qualifications including an Advanced Diploma. They are preferred by professionals and adult learners because of their flexible learning approach.
