Participants will receive formal recognition of their successful completion of each training module through the award of an SOA. The SOA is a nationally-recognised qualification indicating the participant's ability or competence in a particular area. This means that the participant is certified by the WDA as being able to perform a task appropriate to his occupational level and work demands.
Participants completing the Workplace Literacy Series will achieve two SOAs instead of one. This is because the WPL programme assesses the Reading and Listening abilities of the participant. An SOA is then provided for each of the two components assessed.

 Upon obtaining the required SOAs in the Workplace Literacy Series, Workplace Numeracy series as well as theWorkplace Skills Series, participants will be awarded with a Career Readiness Certificate (CRC). The CRC is a national qualification under the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualification (WSQ) system. It recognises participants' achievements in attaining foundational and generic employability skills. The CRC also provides flexibility to include a limited number of industry-specific training drawn from other WSQ industry skills courses.
A total of 10 SOAs is required to achieve the CRC. Certification of an individual's Workplace Literacy (Reading and Listening) and Workplace Numeracy competence is compulsory towards achieving the CRC. Another five SOAs can be attained through successful completion of Workplace Skills Series training. To allow for customisation to employer's specific training needs, the final two SOAs can be drawn from other WSQ programmes or from additional WPS modules.
