The CET Academy was launched by the Acting Minister for Manpower Mr. Gan Kim Yong on 21 October 2008. It takes over the operations of the Centre for Professional Development (CPD), established in 1985, and was rebranded to spearhead NP's effort in offering adult education and training, and championing lifelong learning.

The Continuing Education and Training Academy offers courses and training programmes for professional upgrading and retraining. The Centre trains more than 5,000 people annually through 300 courses each year.

The use of notebook computers has become an integral part of the learning experience in Ngee Ann.

Blackboard is the web platform used for Mobile eLearning.

The only course that does not require students to have their own notebook computers is Health Sciences (Nursing). However, Nursing students are required to own a PDA.

Students enrolled in Film and Media Studies courses, as well as those enrolled in the Audio-Visual Technology(EE) and Multimedia and Animation(ICT) courses are required to own Apple notebook computers.
