Introduction

As the demand for increased productivity in the manufacturing industry grows, there is a rising need for highly skilled engineers to effectively adopt robotics and automation technologies. These engineers must possess the ability to assess manufacturing processes, identify potential challenges, and plan and implement appropriate automation solutions.

To address this need, SIMTech's Modular Programmes specialising in Industrial Automation aim to bridge the gaps in knowledge and skills within the manufacturing industry, particularly in areas such as robotics, material handling, automation system control, design, and simulation.

Why These Courses

The courses offer participants unique opportunities to learn and apply the skills necessary for planning, selecting, and implementing robotics and automation systems. Key features include:

  • Highly practical course content delivered in an intensive and interactive format
  • Introduction to state-of-the-art automation technologies and solutions
  • Case studies showcasing industrial applications
  • Discussions of real-world projects to enhance participants' skills in planning and managing robotic systems

Industry Relevance

These courses are designed for engineers, supervisors, managers, researchers, and technicians in the precision engineering, logistics, aerospace, and marine and offshore industries. They are particularly suitable for those involved in the design, planning, purchasing, and supply of robots and automation systems.

Sample of a Statement of Attainment (SOA) as shown below:
SSG SOA

The name printed on the Statement of Attainment (SOA) issued by SkillsFuture Singapore is the Skills Standard title, such as a Technical Skills and Competency (TSC) title, rather than the course title. This is because the SOA is aligned with the national Skills Framework, ensuring consistent recognition across industries and among employers. While the course title describes the learning experience, the SOA certifies the specific nationally recognised competency attained.

Pre-Requisites

  • Applicants should possess a degree in any discipline or a diploma with a minimum of 3 years of related working experience.
  • Applicants who do not have the required academic qualifications are still welcome to apply, but shortlisted candidates may be required to attend an interview for special approval.
