Free AI courses in Singapore, and where SkillsFuture fits

Singapore does not run one free national AI course. Instead, SkillsFuture Credit gives Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above money to spend on approved courses, and the government publishes a curated list of AI courses by level. If you want to start today without spending credit, the free LearnWithZavi courses below need no signup and give a free certificate for each course you finish.

Every fact about government schemes on this page is taken from the official page it links to. LearnWithZavi is independent, is not affiliated with the Singapore government, and is not a SkillsFuture-approved provider, so SkillsFuture Credit cannot be used on our courses. They are free anyway.

SkillsFuture Credit

SkillsFuture Singapore

  • An opening credit of 500 Singapore dollars for Singapore Citizens aged 25 and above, usable on all courses listed on the MySkillsFuture portal, with no expiry.
  • A mid-career credit of 4,000 Singapore dollars for citizens aged 40 and above, usable on selected courses only, with no expiry.
  • Can be used on top of existing course fee subsidies. You check your balance and claim with Singpass before the course starts.

Worth knowing: Only approved courses listed on MySkillsFuture qualify, so whether a course ends up free depends on its fee, subsidies and your remaining credit.

Curated AI-skills courses (SME AI Skills Launchpad)

SkillsFuture Singapore

  • A curated list of AI courses grouped into AI-Aware, AI-Literate and AI-Fluent levels, plus partner-curated courses.
  • The AI-Aware level points to AI for Everyone (AI4E) by AI Singapore.
  • The Launchpad also mentions free AI masterclasses.

Worth knowing: The Launchpad is aimed at businesses, though the course list is a useful map for individuals too.

Questions from learners in Singapore

Can I use SkillsFuture Credit for AI courses?
Yes, if the course is listed on the MySkillsFuture portal. The 500 dollar opening credit covers all listed courses; the 4,000 dollar mid-career credit covers selected ones only. It cannot be used on LearnWithZavi, which is not an approved provider.
Are the LearnWithZavi courses free in Singapore?
Yes. Every LearnWithZavi course is free to read in full with no signup and no card, and finishing one lets you print a free certificate of completion or add it to your LinkedIn profile. LearnWithZavi is not accredited, so the certificate records that you completed the lessons rather than acting as a formal qualification.
Where can I find generative AI courses in Singapore?
The government's curated AI-skills course list groups courses into AI-Aware, AI-Literate and AI-Fluent levels. For a free, self-paced start on generative AI, Introduction to Generative AI below needs no signup.
I run a small business. Where should I start?
Look at the SME AI Skills Launchpad for government support, and take AI for Small Businesses below for free practical steps you can apply this week.
Do I need to code?
No. Every LearnWithZavi course is written for people who use AI rather than build it.
