- SFEC covers up to 90% of the company's out-of-pocket course fee after other subsidies.
- Check your company's SFEC eligibility and balance on EnterpriseSG.
- 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.
- 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 Nothing is withdrawn without this authorisation.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.

Mechanical design is close to Dr. Alfred Ang's engineering roots. Before he became a full-stack AI developer and Agentic AI solution architect, he worked in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, where he published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers and co-invented over 20 US patents, work in which precision and clear specification matter. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from NUS, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a B.Sc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, and he later completed a Graduate Diploma in Intelligent Robotics Systems at NUS-ISS, a field in which machine parts, assemblies and motion come together. He also founded Tertiary Robotics in 2015, offering Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Micro:bit and robotics products, and he is a Unity Certified User. Today he serves as Managing Director, CIO, CTO and Chief Instructional Designer of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd, the company behind Tertiary Courses, which he founded. His GitHub portfolio of more than 300 public repositories shows a sustained interest in visual and spatial tools: whiteboard offers vector shapes, flowchart elements and snapping connectors in the browser; sketchbookapp provides layers, symmetry and a sketch-to-AR feature on iPhone and iPad; and iotplatform connects Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi devices to automated workflows. He is also a Microsoft Certified AI Engineer Associate (AI-102) and an AWS Certified AI Practitioner. His arvr-playground project, a browser-based WebXR space for generating and reviewing AR and VR scenes from prompts, applies the same prompt-to-model thinking to immersive design.
In WSQ Generative AI for 3D Design, Dr. Ang treats AI as a fast design assistant that still has to answer to engineering standards. The course begins with AI-assisted machine part design and conceptualisation, turning functional requirements, sketches and reference images into design concepts and comparing alternatives. Topic two covers generative AI for sketching and 3D CAD modelling, including solid and surface modelling, constraints and dimensions, and topic three extends this to assembly design, where components must fit and move together correctly. Topic four creates exploded views and assembly animations with AI, which his robotics background makes especially relatable. Topic five addresses AI-assisted GD&T and standardised technical drawings, and the final topic covers orthographic modelling, AI-based design review and optimisation. Throughout, he asks learners to check what the AI suggests against tolerances, materials and manufacturability, because his industry experience showed him how small drawing errors become expensive production problems. He uses AI to speed up ideation, automate repetitive steps and flag potential design issues, while keeping the designer responsible for the final decision. As an ACTA-certified trainer and DACE-certified curriculum developer, he balances short demonstrations with extended practice, so each learner completes parts, an assembly and a set of drawings of their own. Participants leave with a structured, AI-assisted design workflow they can apply to real engineering projects.

Shahul Hameed Maricar is a certified ACLP trainer and MOE instructor with over a decade of experience in systems integration, product design and technical training. In his Generative AI for 3D Design training, he guides learners through AI-assisted concept generation, parametric modelling, assemblies and design validation, building on a career that spans 3D art, mechatronics, embedded systems and industrial design. He has delivered WSQ and corporate training in CAD and 3D modelling tools including Fusion 360, AutoCAD and Blender, alongside courses in product prototyping and design visualisation, and he programmes in Python, JavaScript and C++.
In WSQ - Generative AI for 3D Design, Shahul emphasises hands-on, project-based learning that combines design fundamentals with practical exercises. Learners begin with AI-assisted machine part design and conceptualisation, then use generative AI for sketching and 3D CAD modelling. They progress to AI-assisted assembly design, exploded views and assembly animations, and then produce standardised technical drawings with GD&T. The course concludes with orthographic modelling, AI-based review and design optimisation. His ability to make complex CAD workflows accessible helps learners from both engineering and design backgrounds keep pace. Participants leave equipped to create manufacturing-ready designs and to apply generative AI confidently in real-world design work.
Jyoti Chopra is an ACLP-certified trainer and design professional with expertise in CAD, BIM and 3D visualisation software, proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion 360 and 3ds Max. She has applied these tools in architectural, engineering and manufacturing projects to produce detailed technical drawings, photorealistic renders and functional prototypes. With professional practice and adult training experience, she has prepared learners for Autodesk certifications, and she has taught WSQ and professional courses in AutoCAD and 3D modelling with an emphasis on practical, portfolio-ready outputs.
In WSQ Generative AI for 3D Design, Jyoti focuses on AI-assisted modelling, design exploration and design-for-manufacturing workflows. Learners use AI for machine part design and conceptualisation, generate sketches and 3D CAD models, and build assemblies from design intent. They then create exploded views and assembly animations, produce GD&T and standardised technical drawings with AI assistance, and apply orthographic modelling, AI-based review and design optimisation. Integrating case studies with hands-on practice, her structured, applied approach gives participants the technical proficiency and confidence to apply generative AI effectively in design and manufacturing contexts.
