It enables them to advance their studies without financial worries and receive a monthly salary.

Those holding NITEC or Higher NITEC qualifications and eager to join the Lifesaving Force upon graduation may find enrolling in a WSDip program appealing. This pathway allows them to simultaneously work, earn a salary, and pursue a diploma.

You will also stand to receive benefits from a range of perks and privileges, including:

  • Competitive salary range, inclusive of frontline / shift allowance
  • Annual increments
  • Performance bonuses
  • 14 to 18 days' vacation leave (inclusive of other leave types)
  • Medical and Dental Subsidies
  • Employee welfare benefits

  • Strategic Payment Scheme
  • Invest Retirement Package
  • Group insurance
  • Obtain a Fire Safety Manager Certification
  • Obtain an Emergency Medical Technician Certification
  • Obtain Class 3, 4 and/or 5 Driving Licenses

Upon completing the WSDip, trainees will continue to progress in the SCDF with more exciting career opportunities, as they are deployed to specialised roles with higher rank(s).

What you will be working on

Trainees under the course will join SCDF and become Fire and Rescue Specialists tasked with safeguarding lives and property in various emergency situations. As part of their duties, they will utilise their training to respond to fires, medical emergencies, and other rescue missions. Responsibilities include deploying firefighting techniques, conducting rescue operations, and providing medical assistance to those in need.

The hands-on training will comprise 80% of the course, allowing trainees to gain practical experience in real-world scenarios. The remaining 20% will consist of off-the-job training on campus, providing theoretical knowledge and enhancing skill development. Joining SCDF offers not only the opportunity to serve the community but also the chance to make a significant impact by safeguarding lives and property during emergencies.

As a WSDip Programme trainee, you can expect a comprehensive career pathway that includes the Fire and Rescue Section Commander course and Emergency Medical Technical training. After completing the relevant training, trainees will undergo the 2.5-year WSDip Programme while being stationed at a Fire Station. Frontline officers are eligible for allowances of up to $30

What we are looking for

  • The WSDip program is a workplace training initiative available for individual who are ITE graduates.
  • NITEC Certification with a minimum GPA score of 2.0; or any Higher NITEC Certification.
