Apply Advanced Coating Technologies for Corrosion and Wear Protection (42 hours)

Apply Advanced Coating Technologies for Corrosion and Wear Prevention

This course module aims to provide students with knowledge and practical skills on using advanced coating technologies for corrosion and wear prevention. The module covers electrochemical, sol-gel, and plasma-based coating processes together with their applications in corrosion and wear prevention.

The module is structured to enhance the knowledge of participants with lectures and lab demonstrations conducted in the well-equipped process and testing laboratories at SIMTech, followed by facilitated discussions for participants to identify and choose pertinent wear and/or corrosion-related problems encountered in their work. During the practice (hands-on) sessions, participants get to work on a specific relevant project of their choice under the coaching of topic experts to apply the knowledge and skills learnt in this module to address practical problems in their workplace.

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.
