MULTI-SKILLING SCHEME

An Alternative Upgrading Path for the Construction Workforce


The Building and Construction Authority will be introducing a new
Multi-Skilling Scheme to provide an alternative pathway for the
industry to upgrade their experienced workers as Higher Skilled
workers.
The new Multi-Skilling Scheme complements the CoreTrade
Scheme. CoreTrade recognises workers specialising in key construction trades, whereas the Multi-Skilling Scheme registers
workers competent in multiple trade skills. Multi-Skilled workers
offer greater flexibility in deployment on site and help to enhance
productivity by reducing productivity downtime.

What are the requirements to be a Multi-Skilled worker?


1. Having 2 acceptable certifications:a) For first certification:
Any SEC or Skills Evaluation Certificate (Knowledge), SEC(K), certifications ; or
Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) certification, for Malaysian work permit holders.
b) For second certification:
Acceptable SEC(K) trade certification in a different trade from the first certification.
2. Having a minimum of 4 years of construction experience in Singapore.

Continual Educational Training Requirements


For the bi-annual renewal of registration, multi-skilled workers would be subjected to Continuing Education
& Training (CET) requirements.

Application for registration as a Multi-Skilled worker may be submitted to BCA online at http://
