Frequently Asked

Why civil servants choose this
over SkillsFuture-funded courses

We don't carry SkillsFuture funding. Here is why that works in your favour.

SkillsFuture-Funded Courses
This Course
✕ Curriculum submitted for approval months in advance. Content is fixed and cannot be changed based on who is in the room.
✓ Redesigned before every run. The mix of participants — their agencies, seniority, and challenges — shapes what we cover.
✕ In a fast-moving landscape, a curriculum approved 6 months ago may already be teaching outdated tools and approaches.
✓ Content is current. With AI reshaping every workflow monthly, we update our curriculum continuously — no approval process required.
✕ Exercises use generic datasets with no connection to participants' actual work context or their ministry's communication challenges.
✓ Exercises are oriented around the actual work participants bring to class. You leave with infographics relevant to your role, not a template.
✕ Group sizes are often maximised for subsidy purposes, limiting individual attention and peer critique time.
✓ Small cohort size. Every participant receives direct feedback from the trainer — an information design expert with deep commercial experience.

SkillsFuture funding is a useful subsidy — but the structure it requires works against the kind of learning that actually changes how you work. Our course is not SkillsFuture-funded by design, not by oversight. The flexibility to adapt to every cohort is the product. Departments sponsoring staff consistently return for subsequent runs.

About This Course

Information design is not graphic design — and the difference is everything

Most infographics in corporate and government reports fail — not because the data is wrong, but because they were built by people trained in aesthetics rather than communication. Visual polish cannot fix an infographic that fails to convey its message.

This course is facilitated by an information design expert, not a graphic designer. The distinction matters: information designers are trained to make complex data understandable, structured, and persuasive. Graphic designers are trained to make things beautiful.

  • 01Facilitated by an information design expert with deep commercial and government sector experience — not a generalist trainer.
  • 02Output-oriented: participants leave with real infographics built from their own data, not template exercises.
  • 03Every cohort is different — curriculum adapts to the participants in the room, their agencies, and their communication challenges.
  • 04Software-agnostic: you learn the principles that make infographics work, applicable to PowerPoint, Canva, or any tool.

Who Should Attend

For professionals who need to explain, inform or educate — visually

You do not need a design background. This course is for anyone who works with data or information and needs to communicate it to an audience.

Participants typically work in communications, policy, research, HR, operations, or data roles — across both public and private sector organisations.

Policy officers Communications teams Research analysts HR professionals Operations managers Data teams Corporate trainers Training managers

Learning Outcomes

What you will be able to do after this course

Diagnose what's wrong

Identify why an infographic fails to communicate — and know exactly what to fix. Move beyond "it doesn't look right" to precise, structural diagnosis.

Choose the right visual form

Know when to use a chart vs a diagram vs a process illustration — and how to decide what information to include and what to leave out.

Tell a story with data

Structure information with a clear narrative arc. Move your audience from data to insight to action — not just present numbers.

Apply the visualisation process

Follow a repeatable method from brief to finished graphic. No more starting from a blank canvas with no framework.

Work across mediums

Design infographics for reports, presentations, social media, and print — adapting structure and detail to each context.

Use any tool effectively

Understand which software is right for which job — and why knowing the principles matters more than mastering any single app.

The next run is 27–28 April 2026, 9.00am to 5.00pm both days, at Amara Singapore. Early bird pricing (S$1,799) and group pricing (S$1,699 for 3 or more) are available until 30 March 2026.

Yes — and many departments prefer it this way. SkillsFuture-funded courses must submit a fixed curriculum for approval months in advance; the content cannot adapt to participants. Our course is redesigned before every run to reflect the specific mix of agencies, seniority levels, and challenges in each cohort. Departments sponsoring staff for this course consistently return for subsequent runs. Invoices are addressed to your agency's finance team directly.

You are welcome to use or adapt the following for an internal training request:

"I would like to attend the Infographics Design: Data Storytelling workshop by Maitre Allianz (27–28 April 2026, Amara Singapore). The course develops the ability to communicate data and information visually in reports, presentations, and public communications — a skill directly applicable to my current work. It has been attended by officers from HDB, MSF, MOM, and Singapore Press Holdings. The fee is S$1,799 (early bird, by 30 March) or S$1,699 per person for groups of 3 or more. Invoice can be addressed to our finance team."
