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.

Security has a firm place in Dr. Alfred Ang's AI practice. He is CompTIA Security+ certified, an AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Cloud Practitioner, a Microsoft Certified AI Engineer Associate (AI-102) and Data Scientist (DP-100), and ITIL certified, and his work as a full-stack AI developer and Agentic AI solution architect spans system architecture, security, observability and performance optimisation across AWS, Kubernetes and DevOps environments. He is Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd, where cybersecurity is one of the areas in which he designs and delivers training. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from NUS, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a Certificate in AI Ethics and Governance (Senior Professional) from NTU, after earlier work in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries. His GitHub portfolio includes tertiarytraining, a training environment platform that runs Docker-based WordPress, Ubuntu and Kali Linux labs in the browser with role-based access, OAuth and idle auto-shutdown; itsupport, an IT service desk demo with a credential-leak guard and a strict Content Security Policy; workplacesafety-scorm, an e-learning module built around a narrated security-awareness video; and skills, which includes a secret scanner. He is also an ACTA-certified trainer and DACE-certified curriculum developer. He also holds a B.Sc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers and co-invented more than 20 US patents, and is a certified PMP.
In WSQ - AI for Network Security, Dr. Ang shows learners how to put AI to work on the everyday tasks of defending a network. The course begins with AI-assisted analysis of network threats and vulnerabilities, using AI to examine traffic, system logs, device activity and security alerts for suspicious behaviour and emerging threats. Learners then carry out AI-powered network risk assessment and management planning, before designing and implementing AI-enhanced security measures such as network segmentation and access controls. The final topic covers AI-assisted security incident documentation and response, from prioritising incidents to writing clear reports. Drawing on his Security+ grounding and his experience running isolated lab environments, he teaches learners to treat AI as an analyst's assistant, not an authority: outputs must be checked against evidence, sensitive log data must be handled carefully, and false positives and missed detections must be expected and managed. He also discusses the risks that AI itself introduces, including prompt injection and data leakage, drawing on his AI governance training. Sessions are hands-on, with realistic scenarios that let learners practise detection, assessment and response. As a WSQ course, it also prepares learners for assessment. He also shows how AI can help draft security policies, playbooks and user awareness messages, while stressing that every recommendation must fit the organisation's own risk appetite and regulatory obligations. To see his security-minded projects, learners can view his GitHub portfolio at https://github.com/alfredang and connect with him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/angchewhoe/
Agus Salim is an IT systems engineer and cybersecurity professional with a background in network administration, IT support, systems integration and cloud infrastructure.

His credentials include PMP, CompTIA Security+, CEH and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
Agus's expertise lies in networking and security rather than AI specifically, and that strong networking foundation underpins WSQ - AI for Network Security. Having taught core networking technologies, protocols, LAN and WAN configuration, IP addressing and network monitoring, he helps learners understand the traffic and logs that AI tools analyse. He guides participants through AI-assisted network threat and vulnerability analysis, AI-powered risk assessment and management planning, designing and implementing AI-enhanced security measures, and AI-assisted incident documentation and response. His clear explanations and hands-on activities keep the focus on applied skills learners can use at work. Learners leave able to apply AI to network defence with a clear grasp of what it is detecting.
Truman Ng's expertise lies in building secure cloud architectures, deploying network automation and integrating AI-driven security solutions for large-scale organisations. A senior IT and cloud systems professional with over 20 years of experience in networking, cybersecurity and enterprise IT management, he holds PMP, Huawei HCIE, Cisco CCNP and AWS Certified Solutions Architect certifications. He has delivered numerous corporate training programmes in IT infrastructure and security, giving him a clear sense of the challenges security teams face when defending complex, hybrid networks.
In WSQ AI for Network Security, Truman shows participants how AI can analyse network traffic, system logs, device activity and security alerts to surface suspicious behaviour and potential control gaps. Learners use AI-assisted workflows to analyse threats and vulnerabilities, assess network risks and plan their management, design and implement AI-enhanced security measures, and document and respond to incidents. His sessions also address network segmentation, identity management and security automation across hybrid environments. Participants gain practical skills to build and maintain resilient network defences aligned with international security frameworks, using AI to detect and respond to threats faster.
Achim Ludwig Dietzenbach is a CISSP-certified cybersecurity and infrastructure specialist with experience in IT management, network architecture and information security. He has served in leadership and consulting roles across Europe and Asia, helping multinational organisations design secure network infrastructures and implement robust cybersecurity frameworks. He holds multiple global certifications in network security, project management and cloud computing, is an ACLP-certified trainer, and is recognised for an analytical, structured approach to risk mitigation and system hardening. His core strengths lie in network defence, access control and threat management rather than AI development.
In this WSQ course, Achim brings his network defence expertise to applying artificial intelligence to network monitoring, threat detection, vulnerability assessment and incident response. Learners use AI to analyse network threats and vulnerabilities, carry out AI-powered network risk assessment and management planning, design and implement AI-enhanced network security measures, and document and respond to security incidents with AI assistance. His grounding in vulnerability analysis, encryption protocols and security policy design helps learners judge whether AI recommendations are sound in a real network context. Participants gain practical skills to identify, assess and defend against cyber threats while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
