For Students (K-12 and Tertiary)
AI Singapore (AISG): The national programme has a dedicated AI Student Outreach Programme supported by the Ministry of Education (MOE). It offers a 3-level certification (Literacy, Foundations, and Google Professional) for students from secondary schools, JCs, ITE, and polytechnics.
University Programmes: Local universities like NUS, NTU, and SUTD have integrated AI and data science into nearly every faculty, from computing to business and humanities.
Code Gakuen: An arm of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), this initiative offers coding and computational thinking programmes, many of which now include AI fundamentals for younger students.
For Professionals and Career-Switchers
SkillsFuture Singapore: This is the primary gateway. You can use your SkillsFuture Credits for thousands of courses. Look for those badged under the "SkillsFuture for Digital Workplace 2.0" or specific AI categories.
Professional Training Centres (e.g., Vertical Institute, Infotech Academy): These providers offer a range of career-focused, SkillsFuture-eligible courses, from 1-day "ChatGPT for Professionals" bootcamps to 21-hour "AI for Seniors" programmes and advanced "Generative AI" professional certificates.
University Continuing Education: NUS (SCALE), SUSS, and SMU Academy all offer professional certificates and short courses in AI, data analytics, and generative AI, which carry significant weight with employers.
Global MOOCs (Coursera, edX, LinkedIn Learning): Many courses from global leaders like IBM, Google, and Microsoft are available, with some being SkillsFuture-claimable.
For Seniors and Retirees
IMDA's Digital Skills for Life (DSL) Framework: This national movement is designed to ensure no one is left behind. It includes modules on "Using Generative AI" in a simple, safe, and practical way for daily life.
National Silver Academy (NSA): Managed by C3A, the NSA lists many subsidised courses for seniors (50+). Look for titles like "AI Tools to Make Daily Life Easy" which are often held in-person at community centres.
Public Libraries (NLB): The libraries run numerous "Digital Experience" workshops, including introductions to AI tools, often for free. Check the NLB's "LearnX" programmes.
For Business Leaders and SMEs
IMDA's GenAI Navigator for SMEs: A diagnostic tool to help you find the right AI solution for your business needs.
Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG): Provides access to the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG), which can co-fund the adoption of pre-approved AI-powered software (e.g., for HR, marketing, or finance).
AI Singapore (AISG) for Business: Offers programmes like the "100 Experiments (100E)" where AISG will fund and co-develop a company's first AI-based solution, effectively de-risking the initial R&D.
