The founders of Heicoders Academy noticed that while the demand for tech talent in SG is skyrocketing, access to high-quality AI education is lagging. So, they built the school to bridge that gap.
Their signature Generative AI Course (WSQ-Accredited) allows students to build AI workflows using ChatGPT, Midjourney, Copilot, and N8N.
It’s also pitched as beginner-friendly for tech and non-tech professionals. However, we heard that some students felt it was too advanced for them.
As for the trainers, they’re industry practitioners like data scientists and software engineers; you’ll be learning from people who actually work in the field.
There are generous subsidies, too—SSG 50% to 70% off, PSEA, and SkillsFuture Credits. We love that this AI program is more affordable than it looks upfront.
Breaks down complex topics into digestible insights
“I recently completed GA100 – Generative AI for Automation and Productivity with Heicoders, and it was an excellent experience. As someone with zero background in AI, I was initially worried about how steep the learning curve might be. However, the course content was structured in a clear and beginner-friendly way, making it easy to follow along and apply concepts step by step. The instructors, Kong and Ryan, were fantastic. They not only explained the technical aspects in a simple, practical manner but also shared real-world applications that made the lessons engaging and relevant. Their patience and ability to break down complex topics into digestible insights truly stood out.”
