Cadetship for SQ

Did a small research on Cadetship for Singapore Airlines, and found some interesting pictures and comments. Cadets selected has to go through a regiourous training for 15 months before Second Officer (SO). As SO, training continues for about 9 months and they are checked out as First Officers (FO). Training is tough, and not to mention the strict selection process during the interviews and medical checkups. The company selects the best that will operate the most modern fleet in the world!

After been accepted in the cadet program, they will be sent to OutwardBound Singapore (OBS) for 21 days to learn about teamwork and team building.



After that, they will be sent to Singapore Flying College (SFC) http://www.sfcpl.com/ to do their Pretech Paper, Performance Paper, ATPL, Post-Tech Paper and of course their first solo.


Bene Docere in Latin means (Teaching It Right)

After completing that phase, they will be sent to Western Austraila Perth, Janakot to get their multi-engine Commerical Pilot License with Instrument Rating (CPL/ IR) on Cessna 172R and Beechcraft Baron Be86. Training at Janakot is the toughest as cadets have to shuffle between sorties, lessons and self-study. Length of Training can last between 9-12 months. Length of training depends on indivdual performance and weather.





Finishing Janakot, they will come back to Singapore Learjet Tech Paper before flying off again to Brisbane's Sunshine Coast Maroochydore Airport. There they will do their jet training on the Learjet L45 for about 3 months.





Then it is back to Singapore again, 747/777/320 Tech Paper and 1 month of Simulator. They will most likely already known if they will be in SIA, Cargo or SilkAir.
