From accredited qualifications to customised solutions, we provide industry-relevant training that builds real operational readiness.
The Institute for Skills Training (IST) is the training and capability-building arm of Certis Corporate University. We design and deliver industry-relevant learning solutions that build operational readiness, for Certis’ own teams and for external organisations seeking training expertise in the security sector.
Our programmes span land, aviation, and maritime security, combining accredited Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) with customised training built around real operational contexts.
Whether you are looking to upskill your workforce, develop bespoke training content, or access specialist facilitation, IST brings the experience and infrastructure to make it happen.
We develop every programme in close partnership with industry practitioners, ensuring our training reflects real operational requirements — not just what's written in a regulatory handbook.
Our training environments replicate the actual settings your people will work in, from bank guardrooms to gatehold areas, while VR simulations prepare them for complex scenarios before they encounter them on the ground.
Our blended approach is designed to shorten training duration without compromising quality, so your workforce gets up to speed faster and stays operationally ready.
