AutoCAD Electrical for Control and Panel Design in Singapore (WSQ-Funded)
Short version: E. This guide covers what the course teaches, who it suits, what it costs after WSQ funding, and how to decide whether it is the right next step for you.
lectrical control design in AutoCAD Electrical — schematics, panel layouts and automatically generated wire numbers, terminal plans and reportsOur WSQ - Technical Drawing with AutoCAD Electrical course runs hands-on in Singapore and is WSQ-funded, so most Singaporeans and PRs pay a fraction of the listed fee. Here is the honest picture.
Why this software, and why here
Plain AutoCAD draws lines; AutoCAD Electrical understands circuits. Wire numbers, component cross-references and BOMs regenerate automatically, which removes exactly the manual bookkeeping that causes errors on panel drawings in the field.
Who this course is for
It is aimed at electrical engineers, control and automation staff, panel builders and M&E draughtsmen. You do not need a design degree — you need to be comfortable with a computer and willing to work through hands-on exercises.
What you will actually learn
- AutoCAD Electrical environment, projects and drawing standards
- Schematic design with intelligent components
- Wire numbering, cross-referencing and PLC I/O drawings
- Panel layouts, terminal plans and automatic reports

Frequently asked questions
Do I need prior experience to join?
No formal prerequisite beyond basic computer literacy. If you have never drawn or modelled before, expect to work harder in the first half-day — but people do start from zero. The class is taught hands-on, so you build as you learn rather than watching slides.
How much will I actually pay?
The listed fee is $900 before GST. At 50% WSQ funding you pay roughly half; at 70% (Singaporeans aged 40 and above) noticeably less again. SkillsFuture Credit can then offset the balance, which for many learners brings the cash outlay close to zero.
Is this course WSQ-certified?
Yes. It is a WSQ course under the SkillsFuture Singapore framework, which is what makes the funding and SkillsFuture Credit available. You will need to meet the attendance and assessment requirements to be certified and for funding to be disbursed.
What software version do you teach on?
We teach on a current Autodesk release, and the skills carry across versions — the interface shifts a little between releases but the underlying workflow does not. If your office runs an older version, tell your trainer and they will point out the differences.
Will I be able to use this at work straight away?
That is the intent. The exercises are built around realistic tasks rather than toy examples, so the workflow you practise is the one you will repeat on the job.
