Not entirely free, you still have to pay for course materials like the t-shirt, handbook and ground school notes. Total is around $40 plus only. The rest is subsidised.Originally posted by sgFish:its free, but selection and progression is rather stringent. apply, get in, do your best =)

if you're in IP/IB they'll take you in straight away, but if not its rather hard sometimes, cuz they take people in with the objective of grooming future pilots for the RSAF, and RSAF pilot entry qualifications require at least A levels or a poly diploma, hence you require o levels now to show that you will get at least either of these qualifications in the future.Originally posted by Seth35:If no O Level How?

if you're signing on for RSAF and you have your diploma its should be no problem at all, but dunno about syfc. But if you're in a poly already they should accept you.Originally posted by Seth35:Now currently pursuing my Diploma in Electronics Engineering...
Is there any chance is it possible after my graduation if i do sign on 10 for the Air Force Programme... Will i be accepted due to my diploma...Or O' level is an important Pre-Requiste ?
P.S: I Don't have an O level Cert...But ITE Cert...

syfc or air force? syfc i'm not sure, you might have a bit of problem, but for air force, if you have a diploma and can qualify for a local uni, it would be no problem to apply.Originally posted by Seth35:Haha Yea...but How about GPA ? Will they see your grade ?
Being a Pilot...Ask those around me...They tell me its like Near Impossible to be one...
I was from course 138, heh sometimes i get confused with course 139Originally posted by sgFish:polarsnake: haha yeah missed that out, but its kinda negligible compared to the amount of money they spend on each trainee. btw which course were you from and who was your pri. instructor?
Yup the air force only bothers to look at your diploma, but for the case of SYFC they do actually check your sec school grades so there's your problem there. But I think you might be able to appeal. If you actually get into the YFC, becoming a pilot would be more smooth sailing.Originally posted by sgFish:syfc or air force? syfc i'm not sure, you might have a bit of problem, but for air force, if you have a diploma and can qualify for a local uni, it would be no problem to apply.
