Continuing Education

The Continuing Education programs do not fall within the scope of ACCSC’s accreditation.

Info-communications technology (ICT) is a key enabler in every industry in Singapore, and the demand for ICT professionals is increasing every year. To meet this need and equip professionals for the fast-growing digital economy, DigiPen (Singapore) offers a dynamic selection of programs and micro-credentials that match the needs of an ever-evolving industry.

DigiPen (Singapore) has offered a variety of programs since 2009, and we’re one of the training providers for Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) and their Technology in Finance Immersion Programmes (TFIP). From 2018 to 2020, we offered Attach-and-Train (AnT) Programmes with specializations in Artificial Intelligence (Games) Software Developer, Embedded Software Developer, and Cybersecurity Software Developer.

Micro-Credentials

This micro-credential is part of SIT’s Competency-Based Stackable Micro-Credential (CSM) Pathway in Applied Computing which allows learners to earn industry-recognized credentials that can be stacked toward a full degree program at SIT.

DigiPen (Singapore) is a program partner with SIT in delivering the following micro-credentials:

Machine Learning

Get hands-on experience with data-driven decision-making and AI applications through SIT’s Machine Learning micro-credential three-month course. This program focuses on supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, as well as recommendation system development using Python programming.

While this micro-credential can be taken as a standalone course, it also contributes toward a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Applied Computing under the CSM framework.

Deep Learning Forecasting with Time Series Analysis

Unlock the power of deep learning and time series forecasting with this hands-on, three-month micro-credential program. Designed for learners eager to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and data-driven decision-making, this course covers advanced techniques for forecasting and analyzing time series data.

The program focuses on two core competency units:

Deep Learning Architecture Competency Unit: Dive into the fundamentals of deep learning, exploring neural networks, CNNs, and RNNs. Learn how to leverage these architectures for accurate predictions in time series forecasting.
Modern Time Series Analysis Competency Unit: Master the art of time series analysis, using methods like ARIMA, exponential smoothing, and cutting-edge deep learning techniques to forecast future trends based on historical data.

Advanced Generative Text Artificial Intelligence

Step into the world of advanced generative artificial intelligence with this specialized micro-credential program. Focused on the latest advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs), this course equips you with the skills to develop powerful AI systems that can generate and understand human-like text.

The program focuses on two core competency units:

Natural Language Processing Competency Unit: Gain in-depth knowledge of NLP techniques such as tokenization, sentiment analysis, text summarization, and named entity recognition. Learn to process and analyze complex language data for real-world applications.
Large Language Models Competency Unit: Explore the design, development, and implementation of advanced LLMs like GPT and BERT. Understand how these models generate human-like text and solve complex problems across industries.

Past Continuing Education Programs

WSQ DigiPen®-Ubisoft® Campus Programme

The first Continuing Education program launched as the WSQ DigiPen®-Ubisoft® Campus Programme in 2009, a unique collaboration between DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore, Ubisoft Singapore, and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (now separated into Workforce Singapore and SkillsFuture Singapore).

These Train-and-Place programs were launched to meet the economy’s growing demand for people in the interactive digital media sector. The program saw trainees undergo 10 months of learning and acquiring specialist technical skills under the mentorship of industry experts. Trainees chose from one of three tracks — programming, designing, or art — and spent five months gaining academic knowledge, followed by five months of on-the-job exposure. This helped to give each trainee a taste of industry life, and it also allowed them to apply their new skills in a professional setting.

Attach-and-Train (AnT) Programme

From 2018 to 2020, we offered three Attach-and-Train (AnT) programs (jointly supported by Workforce Singapore):

Artificial Intelligence Software Developer
Cybersecurity Software Developer
Embedded Software Developer

These manpower development programs, supported by Workforce Singapore (WSG) under their Career Conversion Program (CCP), aimed to equip professionals, managers, executives, and technicians (PMETs) with relevant, in-demand skills and expertise that would enable them to thrive in the digital economy.
