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).
