SkillsFuture Career Transition Programmes (SCTP) in Smart and Sustainable Facility Management

Module 1: Digital Delivery of FM (Course code: 79034 – M1)

Duration: 52 hrs over 3 months

• Introduction to Facilities Management

  This course introduces the concepts and principles of facilities management, asset management, risk management and the basic principles of building legislation under the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act.  

• BIM for Facilities Management

  This course bridges digital project delivery and operational performance. It covers core BIM Fundamentals, explaining how design models become rich asset data sources. You'll learn to define essential data by developing Asset Information Requirements (AIR). Finally, we focus on implementing this data within a BIM-Centric CMMS, enabling proactive maintenance and data-driven decisions across the asset lifecycle. 

• Integrated Digital Delivery for Facilities Management

This course delves into the use of Integrated Digital Delivery (IDD) to integrate processes and stakeholders through advanced info-communications technology (ICT) and smart technologies, hence improving FM outcome.

Module 2: Planning and Management of Smart FM (Course code: 79034 – M2)

Duration: 66 hrs over 3 months 

• Smart FM Systems Overview

  This course covers the principle, processes, framework, hardware and infrastructure that contribute towards Smart FM system. The technical considerations and feasibilities of adoption of hardware into a building will be discussed. 

• Design for Maintainability

  This course introduces the concept of Design for Maintainability (DfM) outlining its key challenges and benefits. The maintainability of a building from the various key aspects, namely the Architectural, Landscape, Structure and M&E will be covered. 

• Energy Conservation Strategies for SMART Buildings

  This course covers the various innovative energy conservation strategies and their applications in a Smart Building. 

• IT in Smart FM

This course covers the use of IT to manage and maintain Smart Facilities, incorporating the usage of AR, VR, MR, drones, machine learning and digital twin. The usage of IT in predictive maintenance will also be discussed.

Module 3: Integrated Facility Management (Course code: 79034 – M3)

Duration: 66 hrs over 3 months

• Computerised Management and Maintenance System

  This course enables learners to use Computerised Management and Maintenance System (CMMS) to better manage building premises using computerised database of information. 

• Building Management System

  The Building Management System (BMS) system is a computer-based system that operates, monitors and controls a building’s major Mechanical & Electrical  system and equipment. This course introduces the hardware and software associated with the BMS, and discuss the interoperability of the different building systems. 

• Procurement of FM System

  This course introduces the practice and approach towards an outcome-based Integrated FM contract, from pre-tender through post-tender stages, to drive better performance and FM value.   

• Web-Based Hands on Simulation Tool

This course allows learners to appreciate and experience how changes in building systems parameters could impact building performance.

Module 4: Green Building Design Criteria and Green Mark (Course code: 79034 – M4)

Duration: 28 hrs over 0.5 month 

• Certification Course in Green Mark Accredited Professional

Learners will gain an in-depth understanding of BCA’s environmental sustainability legislative framework, underlying performance standards and BCA Green Mark assessment systems. Focus will be placed on green building design considerations and technologies, where the participants will learn the methods of identifying, evaluating and selecting cost effective solutions towards a more holistic green building performance.

* Participants will join public run of GMAP 

*Module 5: Workplace Learning (Course code: 79034 – M5)

Duration: 480 hrs over 3 months (Full Time)

Learners will be placed in a Built Environment firm to enhance the knowledge learned in the other modules and gain practical skills in workplace setting. Learners will gain industry experience, and build professional networks to help advance their careers

* Only those who have successfully completed Modules 1 to 4 are eligible for Module 5.
