This comprehensive article explores the significance of CoreTrade, its impact on levy concessions, and the opportunities it presents for both construction workers and employers.
Understanding CoreTrade: A Catalyst for Levy Concessions
What is CoreTrade and Why Does it Matter?
CoreTrade, endorsed by the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), is a comprehensive training program designed to enhance the skills and competencies of construction workers and supervisors. It goes beyond basic training, providing a pathway to advanced skills and certifications that significantly impact the construction industry.
Key Features of CoreTrade:
- Advanced Training: CoreTrade Courses offered by Aesperon Construction are designed to provide advanced training, covering a diverse range of topics that align with the latest industry demands.

1. The Levy Concession Advantage: How CoreTrade Lowers Costs
Understanding Construction Worker’s Levy:
In Singapore, construction companies are required to pay levies for their foreign construction workers. The amount of levy depends on the skill level of the worker. Higher-skilled workers attract lower levies, and this is where CoreTrade becomes a game-changer.
How CoreTrade Lowers Levy:
- Higher Skilled Workforce: CoreTrade Courses elevate the skills of construction workers. As workers progress through the CoreTrade levels, they attain higher skill classifications, leading to a reduction in levies for the employer.
- Levy Concessions: The Singapore government offers levy concessions to employers with a higher percentage of skilled and certified workers. By enrolling construction workers in Aesperon Construction’s BCA-approved CoreTrade Courses, employers position themselves to benefit from these valuable concessions.
- Strategic Cost Management: Lowering levies through CoreTrade is not just about compliance; it’s a strategic approach to cost management. Employers can optimize their workforce, reduce operational costs, and gain a competitive edge in the industry.
