Course Overview
Why Take a Part-Time AI Course While You Work?
AI tools are now part of daily work in Singapore. According to the IMDA Singapore Digital Economy Report 2026, more than four in five workers use them on the job, yet only about one in three has had any AI training in the past year. The most common reasons? Their employer hadn’t sent them, they didn’t have the time, or they weren’t sure which course to pick.
You don’t need to pause your career to keep up. This course runs in short blocks that fit around a full-time job, and every lesson uses tasks you already do at work, such as writing, summarising, research and reporting. You finish with a capstone project and a WSQ Statement of Attainment.
Upcoming Intake Schedules
When Can You Attend Classes Around Work?
Intakes run on weekdays and weekends, online over Zoom or in person at Paya Lebar. Every intake covers the same 7 lessons and 1 assessment. See the dates and class times for upcoming intakes:
Missed a session because of work? You can attend a makeup session or watch the recording. Only makeup sessions you attend count towards the 75% attendance you need to complete the course.
