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 that matches the needs of an ever-evolving industry. From 2018 to 2020, we offered the Attach-and-Train (AnT) Programmes in Artificial Intelligence (Games) Software Developer, Embedded Software Developer, and Cybersecurity Software Developer.
Since 2009, a variety of current and past programs have been offered. Today, DigiPen (Singapore) is one of the training providers for Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) Technology in Finance Immersion Programmes (TFIP).
Current Continuing Education Programs
Technology in Finance Immersion Programme (TFIP)
As a developer working in the finance sector, you will be trained in one of the key technical specializations for leading financial institutions such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, or software engineering. DigiPen (Singapore) will provide you with strong foundations and a robust background in your specialization that will serve you well in many different professional settings.
Machine Learning (Micro Credential)
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.
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. 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.
DigiPen (Singapore) is a program partner with SIT in delivering the Machine Learning micro-credential.
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.
