- Any balance after funding can be paid in cash, with PSEA (Singapore Citizens with a PSEA), or partly reimbursed by UTAP for NTUC members.
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.

- Your employee attends and completes the course. We submit the attendance and assessment results to SWDA.
- 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.
- Check that this course shows the PSEA tag on its MySkillsFuture page.
- Check your PSEA balance on MOE's Student Finance System with Singpass.
- Download and complete the PSEA withdrawal form, then submit it to us.
- 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 Nothing is withdrawn without this authorisation.
- 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.
- When the assessor gives you feedback, say whether you agree with the outcome. If you agree, you and the assessor sign the Assessment Summary Record; if you disagree, do not sign it.
- Discuss the decision with the assessor or the assessment manager first.
- If you are still not satisfied, tell the assessor you intend to appeal. The assessor records this in the feedback section of the Assessment Summary Record and informs the assessment manager.
- Lodge your appeal within 7 days, giving your reasons, using the Candidate Appeal Form. The assessor can help you write and lodge it.
- An Assessment Appeal Panel reviews the information from you and the assessor and makes a decision. A record of the appeal and its outcome is kept.
- You will be told the outcome within 2 weeks of lodging the appeal. The panel's decision is final.

Dr. Alfred Ang brings a physicist's mathematical depth and an engineer's practicality to deep learning. He earned a B.Sc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, where he topped his cohort, followed by an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from NUS, and he later completed a Graduate Diploma in Intelligent Robotics Systems at NUS-ISS. He has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers and co-invented more than 20 US patents. Today he is a full-stack AI developer, Agentic AI solution architect, courseware developer and corporate trainer, and serves as Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd, having founded Tertiary Courses. His AI credentials include Microsoft Certified Data Scientist (DP-100) and AI Engineer Associate (AI-102) and AWS Certified AI Practitioner, and he is an IBM certified instructor for the AI Practitioners course. His mathematical curiosity shows clearly in his public GitHub portfolio, which includes interactive explainers on Lie groups and Lie algebras, hyperbolic geometry, point-set topology and quantum computing, each built with hand-rolled canvas animations. He also maintains Python and Streamlit labs for data mining and machine learning, and he develops much of his software today with AI coding assistants, publishing his own Claude Code skills on GitHub. With experience in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, he understands that a model's value lies in reliable predictions on real data.
In CASL - AI Vibe Coding for Advanced Data Modeling, Dr. Ang uses AI coding assistants to make deep learning accessible without making it shallow. The course opens with an overview of deep learning, covering tensors, neural network architectures, activation and loss functions, optimisers, gradient computation and model training. Learners then build neural networks for regression to predict continuous outcomes, followed by networks for classification. The fourth topic introduces convolutional neural networks for image data, and the fifth explores transformers and self-attention, the architecture behind today's large language models. At each step learners describe what they want in natural language, ask the assistant to generate the code, and then explain, test, debug and refine it. He insists on understanding: learners should be able to say why a loss curve looks the way it does, why a model overfits or why attention weights matter, and he uses his mathematical background to make these ideas intuitive rather than intimidating. He also shows how to catch subtle errors in AI-generated code, such as wrong tensor shapes, data leakage or mismatched metrics. The class is hands-on and iterative, with guided labs that build steadily in complexity, and activities support the CASL assessment. Participants leave able to build, evaluate and improve advanced predictive models with AI as a capable coding partner. To explore his machine learning labs and mathematical explainers, view his GitHub portfolio at https://github.com/alfredang and connect with him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/angchewhoe/
