When TSC sponsors you for training, study leave, or a specialised development programme, you’re typically required to sign a bonding form — a formal commitment to continue serving TSC for a set period afterward, in exchange for the sponsorship.

Bonding Form – Secretariat
The two versions apply the same underlying principle to different staff categories — teachers versus TSC Secretariat (headquarters) staff.
What You’re Actually Agreeing To
Read the specific bond period and any financial penalty clause carefully before signing — bonding agreements typically specify:
- The minimum period you must continue serving after the sponsored training
- What happens if you resign, are dismissed, or leave before that period ends (commonly a requirement to refund some or all of the training cost)

Before You Sign
- Confirm the exact bond duration stated on your specific offer, not just the general form
- Clarify whether the obligation transfers or is voided under specific circumstances (e.g., medical incapacitation)
- Keep a signed copy for your own records — disputes over bonding terms are far easier to resolve with your own copy in hand
FAQ
Does the bonding form apply to short courses too?
Typically it applies where TSC has covered a significant cost or a study leave period — confirm with the office administering your specific training whether your case is covered.
What happens if I transfer instead of resigning during my bond period?
A transfer within TSC generally does not trigger the bond penalty, since you remain in TSC service — but confirm this with your specific sponsoring office, as terms can vary.
