BCA Approved Training and Testing Centres (ATTCs) provide training and skills assessments for construction workers, who would like to be upgraded through the following pathways:
- CoreTrade Scheme
The Construction Registration of Tradesmen (CoreTrade) Scheme was introduced to help the built environment sector build up a core group of competent and experienced workers in key construction trades and supervisory roles. These workers will, in turn, anchor and lead the construction workforce in raising quality and productivity levels.
- Multi-Skilling Scheme
The aim of the Multi-Skilling Scheme is to build up a pool of experienced workers that are competent to carry out more than one type of work task on-site. This gives employers the flexibility to deploy multi-skilled workers on-site, thus improving productivity.
- Direct R1 Pathway
The Direct R1 Pathway allows workers with higher skills, who may not have acquired the necessary years of local construction experience, to upgrade to become “Higher Skilled” R1 construction workers.
- Continuing Education and Training (CET)
CET aims to continuously upgrade the construction workforce to support improvements in productivity, quality and safety.
- Skills Evaluation Certificate (Knowledge) (SEC(K))
This scheme aims to raise the skills, productivity and safety in the construction sector.
- Certificate of Successful Completion (CSC)
A Certificate of Successful Completion (CSC) is recognised by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) for crane operation licensing purposes. A CSC can be obtained for Tower Crane (Saddle Jib) Operation, Mobile Crane Operation, Crawler Crane Operation, and Mini Crane Operation.
There are 29 ATTCs located across Singapore. Contact details and the list of trade tests, skills assessments and CET courses offered by each centre can be found below.
Loss of Trade Test Certificates
If you have a new worker who have just reported to work in Singapore, as an employer, please register him for Identity Verification at BCA. Upon successful verification, the worker’s copy of In- Principle Approval (IPA) will be endorsed and original skills certificate issued to him.
There is no replacement of certificates. E-statements will only be issued to verified candidates who had passed the test conducted by the BCA. The statement is only for trade test certificates issued by BCA.
Applicants for BCA’s Request of Statement can contact BCA ATTC here.
