How we help Singapore employers
For employers planning a cohort enrolment or an in-house programme on IT training, Tertiary Infotech Academy designs and delivers the curriculum end-to-end — funded under WSQ or SFEC where eligible — typically anchored on a public-run course on Tertiary Courses Singapore (such as the cloud computing courses at Tertiary Courses Singapore). We also help individual learners pick the right starting course given their role and target outcome.
FAQ
Are these courses SSG-funded?
Many are. WSQ-funded providers like NTUC LearningHub, Tertiary Courses Singapore, and SMU Academy run courses on the Tier 2 / CASL or WSQ 2.0 tracks. See our CASL funding guide for what changed in 2026.
How long does the typical course take?
Short courses run 2–5 days; bootcamps run 6–14 weeks; diplomas run 6–12 months. For most working professionals, the short-course route gives the fastest path to applied skills.
Can we run this as an in-house cohort?
Yes — most providers above run in-house cohorts on request. Tertiary Infotech Academy specialises in custom, problem-led in-house programmes (see our Charles & Keith case study for the format).
