Skip the S$540 CEI course.
Pass the CEI on your first try.
On your first attempt the course is optional — but fail, and MOM makes it mandatory (S$443.63–S$539.55, plus another S$174.40 to re-sit) before you can try again. Get grilled on the exact traps, master every key number, and clear it on attempt one. Not another static PDF.

The real cost comparison
The catch most people miss: the S$539.55 CEI course is optional on your first attempt — but MOM makes it mandatory the moment you fail, on top of another S$174.40 exam fee to re-sit. Pass first time for S$69 and keep that ~S$700 for your EA licence application and registration fees — not a re-course.

Four reasons this beats a PDF
The exam rewards precision. So does this.
Know exactly what's on the exam
We map the real structure — 45 EARF+EFMA, 30 all-topics, 5 case studies — so you see where the marks sit: the EARF + EFMA pair is 56% of the paper. Spend your time where it counts.
Built to the official exam format
Every question mirrors the real paper — Section A/B/C structure, the same topic mix, the same trap style — so you practise the exam you'll actually sit, not a static PDF you skim once.
Mnemonics, traps & a master cheat sheet
CPN-AAPR-TOD, O-A-C, the demerit-point ladder, and every key number to memorise — packaged as tricks and traps so the rules stay in your head on exam day.
Checked against the law, not just a study guide
Every figure is cross-verified against Singapore Statutes Online — not copied from someone else's PDF. When MOM raised WICA compensation limits on 1 Nov 2025, we caught it and updated the course. Ask your other prep provider if theirs did.
Exam structure & study strategy
EARF + EFMA is 56% of the whole paper.
Section A alone is 45 of 80 questions — more than half your marks in two topics. Master EARF licensing (demerit points, security deposits, the 3-year validity) and EFMA offences first, then lock in Section B to clear the bar.
- Tested in two sections: EARF, EFMA & the Employment Act each appear twice — the highest-leverage topics.
- Case studies (Section C): drawn from EFMA, Employment Act & EARF.
- The pattern: the exam tests exact numbers — days, dollars, months.
Section A is 56% — start your prep there.
Then secure Section B — you can't pass on Section A alone.
Three steps. One pass.
15-question blindspot diagnostic
Answer free and we map exactly which modules will sink you — before you waste a S$174.40 attempt.
Adaptive MCQ trap simulator
The engine re-feeds your weak clauses and escalates difficulty until the traps stop working on you.
Instant plain-English unblurring
Every answer decodes the rule in one paragraph — with the exact reference and the trap that catches most people.
Master cheat sheet
Built the way bar candidates build attack outlines
We studied how top law students compress a whole syllabus onto one sheet — and applied it to the CEI. Every either/or the exam loves is drawn as a two-column fork. Every figure is number-first, so you cover a column with your hand and self-quiz. And because the exam's favourite trick is swapping neighbouring figures, the sheet ends with two walls — every deadline and every fine, lined up in order — so the near-misses can't fool you.
