Institute of Technical Education (ITE) graduates serving their national service as air force technicians can soon earn a diploma qualification while they are enlisted.

About 20 trainees from April next year will be the first to undergo a programme by ITE and the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) that allows them to work and study at the same time.

The work-study diploma in aircraft maintenance engineering - the first of its kind for full-time national servicemen - will be conducted over 2½ years.

The course will equip trainees with skills in maintenance of aircraft structures and systems, and also serve as an alternative route for ITE graduates towards a career in the aerospace industry.

Similar to ITE's existing work-study diplomas, 70 per cent of the course curriculum will be delivered through on-the-job training at RSAF, and the remaining 30 per cent will comprise theory and practical training at ITE.
