Course Fee and Funding
Fund Your Brain Gain
This is a SkillsFuture-funded course. The full course fee is S$999.00. Your nett fee depends on your citizenship, age, and whether you are sponsored by an SME employer. Additional offsets like SkillsFuture Credit and SFEC can stack on top of your nett fee.
1. SSG SUBSIDY TIERS
Pick the row that describes you. Subsidies are applied at registration; no separate application is needed.

You do not need to be a developer, but you do need to be comfortable with a command-line interface and editing text-based configuration files. If you have never used a terminal, completing a basic terminal tutorial before Day 1 is strongly recommended.
The Agentic AI course gives you a broad introduction to AI agents using commercial platforms (ChatGPT Agents, Claude, n8n, Make, Zapier). This course goes deep on one specific tool – OpenClaw – which is free, open-source, self-hosted, and uses messaging platforms as its interface. If you want breadth, start with Agentic AI. If you want tool-specific depth with an open-source stack, this is the course.
OpenClaw itself is free. The main ongoing cost is LLM API calls – typically fractions of a cent per task depending on the model. Tencent Lighthouse hosting costs approximately SGD 10 to 15 per month for the 2C4G tier (sufficient for daily use with 2 to 3 channels) or lower for the 2C2G testing tier. This is significantly cheaper than commercial agent platform subscriptions.
Telegram is the platform used throughout the course. The course locks to Telegram so that every learner deploys, tests, and demonstrates their agent on a single, reliable channel that everyone in the room can support and troubleshoot together. The Telegram Bot API is also the most straightforward to configure, which keeps the technical setup time minimal. Other messaging platforms (Discord, WhatsApp, Slack) can be connected after the course using OpenClaw’s broader integration documentation.
Yes. OpenClaw is open-source software released under a permissive licence. You own your deployment entirely, including any custom tools and workflows you build. There are no platform fees, usage limits, or vendor restrictions.
