The certification programme aims to train 200,000 Professionals, Managers, Executives, and Technicians (PMETs).

Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat How and SUTD President Phoon Kok Kwang witnessing the signing of an MOU for the new cyber-security programme.

“I’m confident the number is much higher. Our universities and polytechnics are collectively producing over 900 graduates with cyber-security specialisation each year.” But that is still not enough, he said. Students can use SkillsFuture credits to subsidise the fees, while NTUC members can apply for further subsidies under the Union Training Assistance Programme.

Its iTrust Research Lab, set up in 2012, is now recognised as a leader in cyber and cyber-physical security research, Professor Phoon added. The course also offers a chance to take the Qualified Information Security Professional certification programme offered by AiSP.
