What's This Course About

The Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security is a comprehensive training pathway consisting of four stackable WSQ modules—three foundation modules (CompTIA A+, Security+, Linux+) and one elective module (CompTIA CySA+ or PenTest+). These modules are designed to build progressively from fundamental IT skills to specialized cybersecurity competencies.

Each module follows the official CompTIA syllabus, ensuring strong industry alignment and relevance to the cybersecurity job market. Learners will gain practical, hands-on experience in IT support, system administration, network security, threat detection, and vulnerability assessment.

All four modules are eligible for WSQ funding of up to 70%, significantly reducing the out-of-pocket cost for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents. The remaining net course fees can also be claimed using SkillsFuture Credit, making the program highly accessible for individuals seeking skills upgrading or a career transition into cybersecurity.

Upon completion of the required modules, participants will be well-prepared for globally recognized CompTIA certification exams and equipped for roles such as IT Support Technician, Security Analyst, SOC Analyst, Cybersecurity Technician, or Penetration Tester.

Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security – Course Overview

The Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security is a structured, industry-aligned training pathway designed to equip learners with the essential technical competencies and practical skills required for entry-level and intermediate roles in the cybersecurity sector. This certification consists of four stackable modules, including three foundation modules and one elective module, all of which follow recognized CompTIA syllabus, ensuring relevance to real-world job demands and global certification standards.

Learners who complete CompTIA A+, Security+, and Linux+ (the foundation modules), along with one elective module—either CompTIA CySA+ or CompTIA PenTest+—will be awarded the Advanced Certificate in Cyber Security.


Foundation Modules (3 Required)

Module 1: CompTIA A+ – IT Support & Infrastructure Fundamentals

This module builds a strong foundation in IT support, covering hardware, operating systems, networking basics, and essential troubleshooting skills.

How to Apply SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

SFEC helps companies pay for employee training. The current SFEC ends on 30 November 2026, and a redesigned SFEC starts on 1 December 2026.

Current SFEC: classes ending on or before 30 November 2026

  • Eligible companies received a one-off $10,000 credit, notified by letter to their Corppass administrator. Eligibility generally required at least 3 Singapore Citizen or PR employees and Skills Development Levy contributions.
  • SFEC covers up to 90% of the company's out-of-pocket course fee after other subsidies.
  1. Check your company's SFEC eligibility and balance on EnterpriseSG.
  2. Register your Singapore Citizen or PR employee for a class that ends by 30 November 2026, as company-sponsored, and pay the course fee after funding.
  3. Your employee attends and completes the course. We submit the attendance and assessment results to SWDA.
  4. No separate claim is needed. SFEC is calculated automatically once the course fee grant is approved and is paid quarterly to your company's IRAS GIRO or PayNow Corporate account.

Any unused balance of the current SFEC expires on 30 November 2026.

Redesigned SFEC from 1 December 2026

Companies with at least 3 resident employees receive a fresh $10,000 in an online SFEC wallet that offsets out-of-pocket fees upfront at enrolment, instead of reimbursing them afterwards. SWDA has not yet published the support rates and claim steps; see OurWorkforce or our SFEC guide.

How to Apply PSEA

Singapore Citizens with a Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA), which stays open until around the year you turn 31, can use it to pay the course fee after funding for PSEA-approved courses. You can also use a sibling's PSEA after your own has been used up.

  1. Check that this course shows the PSEA tag on its MySkillsFuture page.
  2. Check your PSEA balance on MOE's Student Finance System with Singpass.
  3. Download and complete the PSEA withdrawal form, then submit it to us.
  4. We submit the withdrawal request to MOE. You (and your sibling, if you are using their account) authorise it in the Student Finance System. Nothing is withdrawn without this authorisation.
  5. MOE pays us directly. If you have already paid, we refund the amount covered by PSEA.

More details: MOE PSEA overview.

Appeal Process

If you disagree with an assessment decision, you have the right to appeal.
