introduction
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.
Why This Course

Upon Completion of This Course
Upon Completion of this Course
Electronic Statement of Attainment (SOA) certificates (in OpenCerts Formats) will be issued by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) to participants who have attended and attained competency in the Singapore Skills Framework training modules.
Participants must also meet the following criteria to receive their SOAs:
- Achieve at least 75% course attendance;
- Take all assessments; and
- Pass the course.
Find out more about the WSQ SOA certificate.
Note: Trainees will have to bear the full course fee upon failure to meet either one of the criteria.
In addition, please note that participants' SOA certificates will display the Skills Standard title, not the course title. For this course, the certificate will indicate the Skills Standard: Evaluate Advanced Surface Coating Technologies to Satisfy Corrosion Prevention Requirements. |
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.
