In Singapore’s fast-paced and highly regulated construction and safety sectors, career growth isn’t just about experience—it’s also about staying certified, compliant, and competitive. That’s where SDU-approved courses come in.

If you’re a construction worker, site supervisor, safety officer, or project manager, earning SDU (Skill Development Units) isn’t just a requirement—it’s a valuable investment in your career. These courses, approved under the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) framework, help professionals maintain registration and sharpen their expertise in safety, health, and regulatory practices.

At Greensafe International, we offer a wide range of SDU-approved courses tailored to the evolving demands of Singapore’s built environment. Here are our Top 5 SDU-certified courses that can boost your employability, promote site safety, and support your long-term career growth:
