IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Valued WPLN partner,
Due to rising costs, we are increasing the fee for WPLN assessments from October 1, 2025. The fee for each WPLN assessment component will be revised to S$46 subject to GST.
This adjustment is necessary to help us continue providing the high-quality assessment services you have come to expect. We understand the importance of budgeting and planning for your organization, and we want to assure you that this adjustment was necessary. The WPLN component fee has not been increased since British Council started delivering testing in 2020, and had remained fixed for several years before that.
We remain committed to supporting your workforce development initiatives and providing accurate and insightful assessments that truly reflect an individual's workplace literacy and numeracy skills.
All WPLN assessments scheduled for dates after 1 October 2025 will be charged at the new rate.
We appreciate your continued partnership and understanding. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our WPLN Assessment team at email: WPLN.Team@britishcouncil.org
