REVIEW HIGH SPEED LASER WELDING AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING (45 HOURS)

We are revamping the full qualifications for the Graduate Diploma courses. Applicants can still sign up for the individual modules under the specialisations.

This module provides the participants with the fundamental knowledge on laser welding, laser cladding, modeling & simulation, as well as process monitoring & control. Furthermore, materials selection, metallurgy and welding processes linked with industrial applications are included in this module.

Participants will acquire knowledge and skills on different welding and cladding technologies based on high energy laser beam. They will also gain new insight and understanding on the effect of laser beam welding processes (laser beam welding, hybrid welding, laser cladding), welding defects, weld design, modeling & simulation and process monitoring & control, weldability of aluminium alloys, nickel base alloys, titanium alloys, stainless steels and Ni alloys. The course includes case studies and lab sessions to enhance the adoption of the technologies in the real production for the participants.

SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC)

The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) was first introduced during the Singapore’s Budget 2020 and then recently expanded to a larger group of employers in Budget 2022. It encourages employers to invest in enterprise transformation and capabilities of their employees. Eligible employers will receive a one-off S$10,000 credit to cover up to 90% of out-of-pocket expenses on qualifying costs for supportable initiatives, over and above the support levels of existing schemes.

Submission of SFEC Claim

Employers are required to submit their SFEC claims manually via its microsite if they fulfil any of the following scenarios:

Employers have sent their foreign employees (excluding foreign employees who hold Long-Term Visit Pass Plus) for training on a SFEC eligible course;

Employers have sent their Singapore employees for courses conducted by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)’s appointed CET Centres and they are not eligible for additional enhanced course subsidy, such as Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES) and/or Enhanced Training Support for SMEs scheme (ETSS);

Employers have sent their Permanent Resident employees and/or employees who are Long-Term Visit Pass Plus (LTVP+) Holders to attend courses conducted by SSG’s appointed CET Centres and they are not eligible for the Enhanced Training Support for SMEs scheme (ETSS).

Employers can only submit the claims for SFEC after their employees have completed the training course(s). Click here to download the SFEC Claim e-guide.

NOTE: You will require a Corppass account with "EPJS_User" role assigned prior to login to your account to manage your claims.

If you are unsure whether your company is eligible for SFEC, you may submit an enquiry to Enterprise Singapore (ESG) via here for their response.
