DIMENSIONAL MEASUREMENTS AND METROLOGY (45 HOURS)

This module is also referred as “Precision Measurements”.

This module aims to introduce the fundamental concept, theoretical and practical knowledge of precision dimensional measurement technology and nanoscale measurement technology for applications in the precision engineering industry, and as well as other related industrial sectors. Specifically, this course covers the fundamentals of measurement errors, error analysis and uncertainty, geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) for measurement purposes, precision measurement systems for dimensional measurements (with a coordinate measuring machine) and surface roughness measurements (with a stylus profilometer and focus variation optical microscope), precision machine tool calibration (by a laser interferometer), confocal technique and atomic force microscopy for nanoscale dimensional measurements.

Why This Course

Specifically designed according to current local industry needs
Highly practical and intensive
Latest knowledge and state-of-the-art technology
Case studies highlighting industrial applications
Professional trainers with industrial experience

Who Should Attend

This module is designed for

Measurement system designers, engineers and technical leaders
Quality inspection technicians, engineers and supervisors

Long Term Visit Pass Plus (LTVP+) Holders

The LTVP+ scheme applies to lawful foreign spouses of Singapore Citizens with (i) at least one Singapore Citizen child or are expecting one from the marriage, or at least three years of marriage, and (ii) where the Singapore Citizen sponsor is able to support the family.

All LTVP+ holders can be identified with their green visit pass cards, with the word ‘PLUS’ printed on the back of the card.

¹ Under the Enhanced Training Support for Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) scheme (ETSS), subject to eligibility criteria shown below.

SMEs that meet all of the following eligibility criteria:

Registered or incorporated in Singapore

SME-sponsored Trainees:

Must be Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents.
Courses have to be fully paid for by the employer.
Trainee is not a full-time national serviceman.

Further Info: This scheme is intended for all organisations, including non-business entities not registered with ACRA e.g. VWOs, societies, etc. Only ministries, statutory boards, and other government agencies are not eligible under Enhanced Training Support for SMEs Scheme. Sole proprietorships which meet all of the above criteria are also eligible.

² Under the SkillsFuture Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy (MCES) for employer-sponsored and self-sponsored Singapore Citizens aged 40 years old and above.

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.
