SKILL EVALUATION CERTIFICATE (KNOWLEDGE) – SEC(K)

AN ALTERNATIVE UPGRDING PATHWAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE

BCA has introduced the Multi-skilling scheme to provide an alternative pathway for the industry to upgrade their experienced workers. Registration of eligible construction workers under the scheme has commenced since 1 Jul 2012.

The Multi-Skilling Scheme complements the CoreTrade Scheme, which caters to workers specialised in key construction trades. It aims to build up a pool of workers who are competent in multiple construction trades to carry out more than one type of work tasks on-site. Employers will have greater flexibility in deploying multi-skilled workers, hence reducing the downtime and improving their productivity.

Foreign construction work permit holders (WPH) registered as multi-skilled worker are also considered as higher-skilled workers under the tier-levy scheme with extended period of employment.

ELIGIBILITY TO REGISTER AS MULTI-SKILLED WORKER

Applicant will need to fulfil the following criteria to register under the Multi-skilling scheme:

  1. Has a minimum of 4 years construction experience in Singapore
  2. Possess 2 acceptable certifications with these conditions:-

  2. Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) certification (for Malaysian WPH only)
For 2nd Certification
  1. Acceptable SEC(K) trade certification in a different trade from the first certification

During registration, the employer will need to produce the 2 certificates and documents showing the WPH's years of working experience in Singapore
