- 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 Nothing is withdrawn without this authorisation.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.

Networks sit underneath everything Dr. Alfred Ang deploys, from cloud-native AI applications to connected devices. A full-stack AI developer, Agentic AI solution architect and technology leader, he builds and runs production systems on AWS, Kubernetes and DevOps pipelines, with a strong focus on architecture, security, observability and performance. He serves as Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd and founded Tertiary Courses. His credentials span infrastructure and AI: he is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Cloud Practitioner, CompTIA Security+ certified, a Microsoft Certified AI Engineer Associate (AI-102), and certified in ITIL for IT service management. His engineering foundation is deep, with a PhD in Electrical Engineering from NUS, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU, and earlier experience in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries. His GitHub portfolio of more than 300 public repositories includes iotplatform, a self-hosted IoT platform that connects Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi devices over MQTT and HTTP and controls them in real time, and tertiarytraining, which provisions Docker-based Ubuntu and Kali Linux lab environments on demand with role-based access and idle auto-shutdown. He also built wifispeedapp, a native iOS Wi-Fi and cellular speed test that measures download, upload, ping and jitter, and itsupport, an IT service desk demonstration with a strict Content Security Policy. He also holds a Graduate Diploma in Intelligent Robotics Systems from NUS-ISS, and his work with connected devices keeps him close to the network layer.
In WSQ AI for IT Networking, Dr. Ang shows network and IT support professionals how to bring AI into the daily work of configuring, supporting, monitoring and troubleshooting networks. The course covers AI-assisted server and network device configuration, AI-powered user network access and connectivity support, AI-enhanced network monitoring and performance management, AI-assisted performance analysis and reporting, and AI-powered testing, reliability and compliance validation. Along the way learners strengthen their grasp of local and wide area networks, wireless connectivity, remote access, cloud networking, virtualisation, and IPv4 and IPv6. He uses AI as an expert assistant rather than an autopilot: generating draft configurations that are then checked line by line, explaining unfamiliar output, suggesting likely causes when a connection fails, and summarising monitoring data into reports that managers can act on. His experience with cloud infrastructure and isolated lab environments informs the emphasis on testing changes safely before they reach production, and his security certification shapes the attention he gives to access control and compliance. He also connects measurements such as latency, jitter and throughput to the user experience they describe, so learners can explain network performance in plain terms. Sessions are hands-on and aligned to the WSQ competency standards, and as an ACTA-certified trainer he keeps them practical and well paced. Learners also practise writing prompts that include the right context, such as topology, device type and error messages, so the AI's suggestions are relevant.

Before moving into full-time technical training he worked in pre-sales, systems engineering and IT retail management, giving him a practical view of both hardware and software systems.
In WSQ - AI for IT Networking, Alec combines this networking background with AI-assisted workflows. Learners use AI to support server and network device configuration, user network access and connectivity support, network monitoring and performance management, performance analysis and reporting, and network testing, reliability and compliance validation. His sessions emphasise network configuration, system security and troubleshooting, with practical implementation at the centre. Known for translating complex networking concepts into clear, step-by-step guidance, he helps participants build a strong foundation in networking technologies and use AI tools confidently to prepare for real-world network administration roles.
Saw Chaik Lee is an ACLP-certified trainer and IT professional with extensive experience in networking, security and systems administration. Having worked with Sun Microsystems and other multinational clients, he has trained IT teams across sectors in cybersecurity, system integration and telecommunications. His structured and practical approach ensures learners gain both certification readiness and applied technical skills, and his grounding in real network and systems environments allows him to connect each concept to the configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting work that IT teams carry out every day.
In AI for IT Networking, Saw Chaik Lee brings this networking and systems background to the use of AI tools across the network lifecycle. Learners use AI to assist with server and network device configuration, then apply it to user network access and connectivity support. The course continues with AI-enhanced network monitoring and performance management, AI-assisted performance analysis and reporting, and AI-powered network testing, reliability and compliance validation. Along the way, participants reinforce core networking concepts such as LANs, WANs, wireless, remote access, cloud networking, virtualisation, and IPv4 and IPv6, leaving able to use AI to design, configure, monitor and troubleshoot modern networks.
