- Quick Answer
| If you are… | Start with | Why |
| A non-technical professional | OOm Institute or NTUC LearningHub | Both take one day, need no coding and cost under S$350 after funding for those aged 40+ |
| A business owner automating workflows | Intellisoft or Temasek Polytechnic | You build working automations in n8n and similar tools over two days |
| A manager deciding where AI fits | OOm Institute | Workflow mapping, a pilot proposal and AI usage rules are part of the day |
| Working full-time and can’t take leave | SMU Academy | Weeknight and Saturday sessions |
| Comfortable with Google tools and Make.com | SUTD Academy | Bring your own workflow |
A note before you read.
OOm Institute runs one of the eight courses in this list. We scored it with the same method as every other course, and every score is shown so you can check our working or re-weight it for yourself.
All fees include 9% GST and were checked against each provider’s own course page on 07 October 2026. Funding depends on SWDA eligibility.
What Should an Agentic AI Course Actually Teach You?
An agentic AI course should teach you to set up AI that carries out a multi-step task on your behalf, using tools and your own documents, with clear points where a person checks the result.
A generative AI course stops earlier, at getting good answers out of a chatbot. That difference matters when you compare courses. If a general AI suits you better than an agentic one, see how AI courses in Singapore compare.
A prompt engineering course teaches you to write a better prompt.
An agentic AI course teaches you to hand AI a goal, such as “check this new policy against the old one and draft the staff update”, and let it work through the steps.
In my view, a good agentic AI course for working professionals covers three things.
- You learn to pick a workflow worth automating
- You build or set up the agent yourself
- And you learn where a human has to stay in the loop
A course that only does the middle part turns out people who can build automations but can’t tell their boss why, or when to switch one off.
So how do you judge which course teaches all three parts well? Here’s the method we used.
If you’re after broader AI skills rather than agentic AI, our list of the best AI courses in Singapore covers options from beginner courses to university programmes.
How We Scored the Courses
We scored each course out of 100 on seven criteria, using only what the provider shows on its own course page. Every course got the same treatment, including ours.
The weights reflect who this article is for.
If you’re non-technical and time-poor, hands-on practice, no coding and cost matter most, so they carry the most points.
| Criterion | Points | How we scored it |
| Hands-on agent building | 25 |
|
| Fit for non-technical learners | 20 |
|
| Net fee, Singapore Citizen aged 40+ | 15 |
|
| Time and schedule | 15 |
|
| Workplace application and governance | 10 | Points for choosing which workflows to automate, building a business case, and covering ethics, risk or governance. 10 if all three are stated |
| Trainer transparency | 10 |
|
| Funding and verifiability | 5 |
|
A few rules kept the comparison fair. We included dedicated agentic AI or AI agent courses that individuals in Singapore can sign up for, with a live course page on the check date.
We left out ratings and reviews, because most providers show a rating for the whole institution, not for the course itself.
We didn’t attend the other providers’ courses, so their scores reflect what their pages say, not what happens in class. When a page leaves something out, such as a fee, the course scores zero for that criterion and we say so.
A course run that starts before 30 November and ends after it can’t use SFEC (Enhanced) either, so it falls between the two schemes and gets no SFEC support at all. If you’re booking a run in late November or early December, pick one that ends by 30 November or starts on or after 1 December.

So what is each course actually like?
A Closer Look at Each Agentic AI Course
1. OOm Institute, Agentic AI & Automation for Workplace Efficiency (89/100)
- Best for non-technical professionals and managers who want to apply agentic AI to their own team's work in one day.
This is our course, so I’ll be direct about both sides.
Over the day you work on a problem most teams will recognise. A process document gets updated, but old copies are still floating around in shared folders, emails and team chats, so people end up following different instructions.
You use Claude and ChatGPT to sort that mess out. You get AI to find what changed, set up a simple assistant your colleagues can ask questions, and draft the staff update from the changes you’ve checked.
You also save a routine task as a reusable Skill, so you can run it again in a fresh chat without explaining it from scratch.
Then you watch the trainer let AI handle the task from start to finish, with a person signing off before anything goes out.
Agentic AI course at OOm Institute Tanjong Pagar learning centre
You map a workflow and mark where a person must check the output, write a pilot proposal with a measurable target, benchmark a manual process against an AI-assisted one, and draft responsible AI usage rules. You’re assessed the same day with a short written test and a practical.
🤔 Where it falls short. This course spends the day on deciding where agentic AI fits and how to run it safely. If building the agent is what you’re after, our 1-day Claude Cowork Bootcamp and ChatGPT Work Bootcamp pick up exactly where this course stops. You bring one real task and leave with a personal AI agent built around it.

This is the most tool-heavy course on the list.
You build no-code chatbots in Agentx, Promptly and Flowise, work with n8n and Langflow, and finish with RAG (retrieval-augmented generation, which lets AI answer from your own documents) in Microsoft Copilot Studio, all using Singapore business datasets.
🤔 Where it falls short. The published outline doesn’t mention choosing which workflows to automate, building a business case or AI governance, so you may need to work those out yourself. Classes are weekday only, in person.
At a glance
- Duration: 2 days
- Venue: In-person classroom, Fortune Centre
- Assessment: Yes
- Net fee (incl. GST): S$390 for SC aged 40 and above and S$590 for SC aged 21–39 and MNC-sponsored PR

3. NTUC LearningHub, From Chatbot to Task-Bot: Unlocking Agentic AI Power (74/100)
- Best for anyone who wants a short, low-cost first step and prefers to learn online.
In eight hours you learn to spot where agentic AI fits across business functions, sharpen your prompting and build a prototype agent with Google Gemini Gems. It’s the only course on this list with a live online class as well as a physical one.
🤔 Where it falls short. You work in one tool, Gemini Gems, rather than multi-step workflow builders. The page doesn’t name trainers or cover governance, and no class dates were listed when we checked.
At a glance
- Duration: 8 hours
- Venue: Physical class or live online class (Zoom)
- Assessment: Yes. Pass required for the SOA
- Net fee (incl. GST): S$331.50 for SC and PR aged 40 and above and S$501.50 for SC and PR aged 39 and below
- Tools included: Google Gemini Gems

4. SUTD Academy, Certified Agentic AI Professional (72/100)
- Best for professionals who already use generative AI and want to build agent workflows with Google tools and Make.com.
You bring one workflow or operational problem from your own job, then design and build goal-oriented AI workflows using Google AI Studio, Google Opal, Make.com and Claude or Codex. The course also touches on governance, safety and human-in-the-loop checks. It’s run with AgileAsia.
🤔 Where it falls short. SUTD Academy recommends some prior generative AI or prompt engineering training, and no intake was open for booking when we checked. Note the big fee gap by age. Singaporeans aged 40 and above pay S$317.50 under the Mid-Career Enhanced Subsidy, while those under 40 pay S$817.50.
At a glance
- Duration: 2 days
- Venue: SUTD Academy
- Assessment: Not stated
- Net fee (incl. GST): S$317.50 for SC aged 40 and above and S$817.50 for SC under 40 and PR

5. SMU Academy, Agentic AI and RAG: Designing Interactions with AI (71/100)
- Best for product owners, UX and customer experience professionals who can only study after work.
This course looks at agentic AI and RAG through a customer and user experience lens. You learn to design conversational flows, test AI experiences and handle ethics, privacy and bias.
It’s taught by Dr Sungjong Roh, Assistant Professor at SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business, and it’s part of SMU’s Industry Graduate Diploma in Data-Driven Customer and User Experience Management.
🤔 Where it falls short. The page doesn’t name the tools or confirm that you build an agent yourself, so it’s less hands-on on paper than the others. It’s also more about designing AI interactions than automating your own workflows.
At a glance
- Duration: 3 weeknights (6.30pm to 10.45pm) plus 1 Saturday (9am to 6.15pm)

- Support: SWDA funding, SkillsFuture Credit, MCES, ETSS, PSEA
6. SMU Academy, Agentic AI and RAG: Designing Interactions with AI (71/100)
- Best for operations and innovation staff who want a structured week of morning classes.
Over five mornings you learn where agents fit into business workflows, how to spot processes ready for automation, and how to design and test agent workflows with visual builders and rule-based logic. It also covers accountability, transparency and risk before you deploy anything. Three instructors are named.
🤔 Where it falls short. It’s the most expensive course here after funding, and five weekday mornings are hard to fit around a full-time job. The page names ChatGPT and Gemini but is vague about which agent-building platform you use.
At a glance
- Duration: 21 hours plus a 1-hour assessment, over 5 mornings
- Venue: In-person classroom, MAGES Institute
- Assessment: Yes
- Net fee (incl. GST): S$585 for SC aged 40 and above and S$885 for SC aged 21–39 and PR

7. Temasek Polytechnic, Agentic AI Foundations for Non-Technical Professionals (57/100, provisional)
- Best for admin, HR, logistics and customer support staff who want to build real agent workflows.
On paper this is one of the strongest courses for non-technical learners. You map business processes that could benefit from agentic AI, set up Google Gemini Enterprise agents and n8n, and build workflows that plan and carry out multi-step tasks.
It also covers risks, limitations and how to compare tools on governance and organisational readiness. You leave with a practical action plan.
🤔 Where it falls short. The course page doesn’t show fees, dates or trainers, which is the only reason it ranks this low.
At a glance
- Duration: 2 days
- Venue: In person, Temasek SkillsFuture Academy
- Assessment: Yes. Pass required for the certificate
- Net fee (incl. GST): Not shown
- Tools included: Google Gemini Enterprise (Agents), n8n
- Coding needed: None
- Support: Not shown
8. Singapore Polytechnic PACE, Agentic AI in a Day (57/100, provisional)
- Best for professionals who want one day of hands-on building in n8n and Langflow.
You learn how agentic AI differs from generative AI, how agents use memory, orchestration and tools, and then design a simple agentic workflow in n8n and Langflow to automate a business process. It’s a good match if you mainly want to see how the building works.
🤔 Where it falls short. The page doesn’t show the fee or trainers, and it doesn’t mention governance or how to choose what to automate. There’s one listed run.
At a glance
- Duration: 8 hours, 9am to 6pm

Which Agentic AI Course Should You Take for Your Role
Pick by what you’ll do with agentic AI on Monday.
If you’ll build automations yourself, choose the course with the most build time. If you’ll decide where AI goes in your team, choose the one that teaches you to pick workflows, set checks and make the case.
If you’re a non-technical professional, start with a one-day, no-code course that’s hands-on from the start. OOm Institute and NTUC LearningHub both fit, at S$312 and S$331.50 respectively for those aged 40 and above. Choose NTUC LearningHub if you need to learn online, and OOm Institute if you want governance and a pilot plan included.
If you’re a business owner automating workflows, look for named automation tools such as n8n, Make.com or Copilot Studio, and a course that lets you work on your own process. Intellisoft gives you the widest range of tools.
Temasek Polytechnic adds process mapping and governance once its fees are confirmed. If you’re sending staff, SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) and the Enterprise Innovation Scheme (EIS) can offset the cost at providers that accept them.
If you’re a manager, building matters less than judgement. You need to know which workflows are worth automating, where a person must check the output, how to run a small pilot and how to write rules your team will follow.
That’s the gap OOm Institute’s course was built for. If you also want to see the building side, SUTD Academy’s course is the stronger choice once an intake opens.
Already using Claude or ChatGPT At Work? Build An Agent In Your Own Tool
If your company has already settled on Claude or ChatGPT, you may get more from a day spent building an agent in that tool than from a general agentic AI course. That’s why OOm Institute runs two 1-day bootcamps alongside the course reviewed above. You bring one real task, use your own non-sensitive files, and leave with something working.
The Claude Cowork Bootcamp is about building an AI coworker. You teach Claude how you work, with your documents, rules and recurring processes, so you stop starting from zero each time. Over the day you set up Skills, Connectors, Plugins and Scheduled Tasks around one real task, then show your working agent at the end of the day.
The ChatGPT Work Bootcamp is about giving ChatGPT a goal and managing the work to a finish. You give it a substantial job, the context it needs and clear review checks, then manage it through to a finished output. You leave with a personal assistant set up with your instructions and sources, a tested method for a recurring task, one real piece of work and a 30-day adoption plan.
| Agentic AI & Automation for Workplace Efficiency | Claude Cowork Bootcamp | ChatGPT Work Bootcamp | |
| Start here if… | You’re a team lead, manager or employee who wants to see where agentic AI and automation can improve your team’s workflows, and how to adopt it responsibly | You want an AI agent that works your way. You’d rather teach it your documents, rules and routines once than explain them again every time | You start from what you want to achieve. You want to give AI a goal, review its plan and manage the work through to a finished result |
| You leave with | The skills to evaluate AI tools for your business, spot automation opportunities in your workflows and turn them into an actionable AI proposal, with responsible AI guidelines to match | One working AI agent you built yourself in Claude, using Skills, Plugins, Connectors and Scheduled Tasks, plus expert feedback on it at a live showcase | ChatGPT set up as your personal work assistant, with custom instructions and organised sources, one tested workflow, and one finished piece of work |
| Net fee | From S$312 after SWDA funding | S$708.50, no subsidy | S$708.50, no subsidy |
| See upcoming course schedule | See upcoming course schedule | See upcoming course schedule |
We left the bootcamps out of the scoring for two reasons.
- They aren’t SWDA funded, so the fee criterion would mark them down for something that isn’t about teaching quality.
- They teach one tool in depth rather than agentic AI in general, so they aren’t like-for-like with the eight courses above.
If you’re unsure where to start, the Agentic AI course comes first and either bootcamp is the natural next step.
So, Which Agentic AI Course Should You Pick?
Every course on this list teaches something useful. Which one is right for you comes down to what you’ll actually do with agentic AI once you’re back at your desk.
We weighted our scoring for busy professionals without a technical background, which is why cost, schedule and no-code setup count for so much. If hands-on building matters more to you, look at the hands-on column in the score breakdown instead, and you may end up with a different shortlist.
Whichever you choose, check two things before you pay. Look at the net fee with GST for your age group, and look up the course code on MySkillsFuture, since fees and intakes can change.
If you’d like to start with one day built for non-technical professionals and managers, our Agentic AI & Automation for Workplace Efficiency course, from S$312 after SWDA support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prompt engineering or AI experience before an agentic AI course?
Not for most beginner agentic AI courses in Singapore, which assume no technical background. A few recommend some prior generative AI practice, such as SUTD Academy’s Certified Agentic AI Professional.
If you’ve never used ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini at work, spend a week using one for everyday tasks before class. You’ll get more out of the hands-on time.
Do I need to bring my own laptop?
Usually yes, because most agentic AI courses are hands-on and you’ll sign in to AI tools with your own account. Some providers lend laptops on request. If you use a work laptop, check that it can open the AI tools the course uses, since company IT settings sometimes block them.
Can I use my own work files or company data in class?
Only if your company allows it, and never confidential or personal data. Many courses use made-up case studies for exactly this reason. Where a course invites you to bring your own task, choose one that uses non-sensitive files, or remove client names and personal details first.
What if my company hasn't approved any AI tools yet?
You can still take an agentic AI course, and it can help you make the case. Choose a course that covers governance and how to propose a small pilot, so you come back with a plan your manager or IT team can approve. Before class, ask your IT team which AI tools are allowed, so you practise on something you can actually use at work.
What's the difference between an AI agent and automation tools like Zapier or Power Automate?
Automation tools follow fixed rules you set in advance, such as “when a form is submitted, add a row to this sheet”. An AI agent works towards a goal and decides some of the steps itself, such as reading a messy email, working out what the sender needs and drafting a reply.
Many agentic AI courses use both, because agents often run inside automation tools like n8n or Make.com.
Can OOm Institute run an agentic AI course just for our team?
Yes. We run corporate training classes for a single company. Training your team together has a clear advantage for agentic AI, because everyone learns the same rules for checking AI output and can agree on which workflows to automate first.
Contact our team with your team size and we’ll help you work out the best funding option for your company.
Will what I learn still be useful when the AI tools change?
Yes, if the course teaches more than button-clicking. AI tools change every few months, but the core skills stay the same. Those skills are choosing the right workflow, briefing the AI clearly, deciding where a person must check the output and measuring whether it helped. Look for a course that teaches these alongside the tools.
