The Employers’ Orientation Programme is a 3-hour programme that will help you understand your role and responsibilities as an employer of a foreign domestic worker (FDW).

First-time employers must complete the EOP at least 2 working days before submitting a Work Permit application.

You need to attend the EOP if:

• You are a first-time employer of an FDW (you can be exempted if you meet certain criteria).
• If you have changed more than 3 FDWs within a 12 month period, and you want to apply for another one.

Note: You will have to attend a classroom Employers' Orientation Programme (EOP) or attend an interview with MOM before we process your application. You cannot appoint a representative to attend on your behalf.

You can take the EOP either in the classroom or online. However, we encourage you to attend the classroom EOP. The case studies and personal experiences shared in class will give you a better understanding of employing and managing a domestic helper.

Note: Ensure that the information in the EOP registration and Work Permit application forms is the same so that we can match the records.
