The Hua Mei Training Academy Limited (HMTAL) is a dedicated provider of training in community-based eldercare, supporting the urgent need for capacity building in that service sector. In addition to professional courses, we offer education and training to the general public to empower optimising the benefits of longevity and support ageing in place.
HMTAL channels the knowledge and skills acquired by the Hua Mei Centre for Successful Ageing, Community for Successful Ageing Centre @ Whampoa, and the International Longevity Centre–Singapore to the wider community and other eldercare professionals to impact change and engender age-friendly values and practices.
HMTAL’s training portfolio includes certification programmes, workshops and talks on ageing and aged care, health promotion and management, as well as dementia care. We conduct training for the eldercare industry at entry and professional levels. We also train seniors, volunteers and family caregivers and hold talks for the general public, commercial clients and special interest groups such as pre-retirees.
HMTAL is also appointed as a Learning Institute under the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) Learning Network, delivering practice-based training to strengthen capabilities across the community care sector.
Our trainers are professionally qualified and experienced health practitioners and educators. Drawing on their fieldwork, they use practical, real-life scenarios and cases.
HMTAL was appointed as the Continuing Education and Training (CET) Centre for the Community and Social Service (Senior Services) sub-sector in 2008 by the former Singapore Workforce Development Agency (now SkillsFuture Singapore). As a CET Centre, HMTAL supports skills development and workforce readiness through a structured, competency-based training roadmap.
