Ley Choon is a BCA Approved Training and Testing Centre (ATTC) incorporated in May 2011. We provide training and tests (skills assessments) for construction workers as a platform to equip them with the knowledge and practical skills to operate the hydraulic excavator and bulldozer machines.

Our experienced trainers are always on hand to address the needs of each and every candidate. With patience and dedication, they will help candidates meet the objectives to achieve good results. Construction personnel registered under the following pathways are qualified as “Higher Skilled” R1 workers under the Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM) Foreign Worker Levy Scheme.

We provide the upgraded course through the following pathways:

1. CoreTrade/ALP:

CoreTrade

The Construction Registration of Tradesmen (CoreTrade) Scheme was introduced to help the built environment sector form a group of workers to become competent and experienced with the requisite higher skills. These once basic-skilled workers will lead the construction workforce in raising quality and productivity levels.

ALP(Accelerated Learning Programme)

The ALP scheme was introduced to create a new pathway to facilitate the entry and retention of higher-skilled construction workers.

It is a 1-Day training course and an end-of-course validation. The end-of-course validation will be offered at BCA Approved Training and Testing Centres(ATTCs). The end-of-course validation is a practical test that takes 4 to 5 hours to complete and assesses a construction worker’s craft-skills. This is to ensure that the worker is competent and meets the required standards of a skilled tradesman.

Who can apply?

Those eligible for registration include locals, as well as longer-staying and experienced foreign workers who have been in the construction industry in Singapore, who meet the following criteria:
