SINGAPORE: A S$580 My Skills Future course that would teach people how to properly sanitise washrooms has sent Singaporeans reeling.

According to the course description, the basic cleaning course “allows learners to gain the basic knowledge and skills required in performing basic cleaning of washroom and replenishing consumables.

“At the end of the course, learners would be able to: prepare for work activities; remove dust, debris, soilage and spillage from sanitary fixtures and fittings, toilet walls/ partitions and toilet floors lean toilet floors; lean toilet walls/ partitions and surfaces with high users contact; replenish consumable items in (the) sanitary area; (and) reinstate (the) work area.”

The course price got a reaction from many online users. Some people expressed their surprise over how much people would pay to learn what should be a life skill.

“So expensive to learn this skill,” said one, while another commented, “Should be free and mandatory for everyone.”

Others shared their take on such courses, with one writing, “Actually they do teach some useful stuff. Plus with a cert, those who wanna do a cleaner’s job get it a lot easier.
