How to Apply

TMS is the NTU Training Management System where it empowers you, the learner, to seamlessly manage your professional development journey — from course registration, management of schedules, viewing of results to certificate issuance — all in one platform. It is designed to support your re-skilling and upskilling goals.

You can access TMS here. Please use the school filter and select “National Institute of Education (NIE)” to find NIE courses on TMS course catalogue.

You will need to register for a TMS account if you are signing up for a course with NIE or NTU. This also applies to courses where you are sponsored by your organisation or company to attend.

For learners sponsored by their organisation or company, please create a TMS account using your organisation or company email address as email contact, e.g., xxx@moe.edu.sg. This will facilitate payment and billing process.

Registration for TMS account is free and you only have to do it once. Do view our video guide on how to create a TMS account.

You will see the message “Your profile information was submitted”.

The registration for TMS account is only complete after you submit the missing fields under Learner > My Profile. This includes your date of birth, citizenship, mailing and residential address.

Do view our video guide on how to create a TMS account.

Please contact us at inservice@nie.edu.sg regarding this as NIE is unable to redirect a self-registration course to your organisation or company for payment of fees. In such cases, we adopt a customised approach to payment.

Please click on “Register Interest” and we will get in touch with you when the next available class is open for registration.

Our registration for courses usually closes one month before the course start date. We will contact you if the course is confirmed to proceed after registration closes.

If your course requires access to NTULearn (NTU Learning Management System) for course material and assignment submission, you will receive a system generated NTULearn account activation email about two weeks before the course start date.

You will not have access to the course material deposited for participants in NTULearn by the course lecturer who uses this learning management system.

Your training record, results, if applicable, and certificates will also not be available in TMS for you.

It takes only three steps for you to register for a TMS account. Registration is free and you only have to do this once. Do view our video guide on how to create a TMS account.

If this course application is sponsored by your organisation or company, please inform your organisation’s or company’s learning administrator, coordinator or HR of the withdrawal. We liaise with the person in-charge on the withdrawal.

If you are paying for the course yourself, please raise the request via TMS at least two weeks before the course start date.

Refunds requested prior to the course commencement date may be subjected to an administrative fee and the deduction of any non-refundable pre-paid amounts imposed by the vendor.

No refunds will be granted once the programme/course has commenced.

You may click on “forgot password” in the TMS login main page. The password reset link will be sent to your TMS contact email address.

Please write in to inservice@nie.edu.sg with details of the course code and title that you are interested in. We will get in touch with you.

You may contact us at inservice@nie.edu.sg. Our NIE professional staff will get in touch with you.

No further action is required from you. We will work with MOE to process your registration via TMS.

Yes. The MOE educator rate is applicable to direct hires and other school staff, including Allied Educators, Contract- Adjunct and Flexi-Adjunct staff from MOE schools. However, this rate is not applicable to relief teachers.

Where applicable, educators from MOE will pay the MOE educator rate for NIE professional development courses. In order to differentiate MOE educators from the public who pay a different rate, we take our reference from the contact email, e.g., xxx@moe.edu.sg, xxx@schools.gov.sg, to determine the course fee.

We recommend that you use the email address that you most frequently use as your contact email. NIE is unable to merge multiple learning records into one.

You will not find courses from MOE OPAL in the TMS because these are two separate systems. OPAL is a digital learning platform owned by MOE. Please continue to register for OPAL courses in OPAL, and NIE will liaise with MOE officers to process your registration.

In TMS, you will find continuing education and training (CET) courses offered by NIE and five other CET units from NTU, i.e., Academy for Professional and Continuing Education (PACE), Nanyang Executive Education (NEE), NTU Entrepreneurship Academy (NTUpreneur), Nanyang Centre for Public Administration (NCPA) and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKC Medicine).

You need to register for a TMS account if you have not done so. Do view our video guide on how to create a TMS account.

If you have a valid TMS account, no further action is required from you. We will work with MOE to process your registration via TMS.
