Built for the AEP - every programme we run is designed end-to-end around BCA and MOM’s Alternative Entry Pathway

About Us
SG Aston LLP is a Singapore-based training consultancy focused on the construction sector. We work with campus partners in Cambodia, and soon Myanmar and Bangladesh, to train and certify workers at source before they arrive in Singapore. Our team brings together decades of experience in construction operations, workforce development and regulatory compliance.
We design programmes around real worksites – integrating safety, productivity and worksite English – so employers can hire with confidence through the Alternative Entry Pathway.
