Any requests to engage learners’ assistance to teach will have to be endorsed by the respective Programme Leaders. The number of teaching hours allowed per learner is capped at 10 hours per trimester. There will not be any remuneration for these teaching duties.

Learners are advised to contact the Academic Programmes Administration (APA) Division (email to Ppr@SingaporeTech.edu.sg) for queries on matters concerning teaching duties.
