Overview

Changi Airport is widely recognised as one of the world’s best international airports. Singapore Airlines is also one of the top airlines in the world. Building on our strengths as an air hub, Singapore has developed a leading aerospace industry that includes maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), manufacturing and other aerospace-related services.

Today, there are over 100 aerospace companies in Singapore. We possess nose-to-tail capabilities that include airframe maintenance, engine overhaul, structural and avionics systems repair. These core competencies, coupled with our commitment to quality and safety, have made Singapore a recognised one-stop solutions provider for airlines’ maintenance and repair needs.

The WSQ Specialist Diploma in Aerospace is an 18-month Work-Study Post-Diploma programme targeted primarily at local fresh Polytechnic graduates who aspire to pursue a career as a Licensed Aircraft Engineer (LAE). It aims to provide participants with theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to perform aircraft maintenance tasks safely and effectively using correct procedures and tools. Participants will also undergo live aircraft access practical training in performing aircraft technical faults recovery through system approach troubleshooting techniques. Preparatory examinations are incorporated to prepare participants to take modular examinations conducted by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).

The entry level job position is Licensed Aircraft Engineer (Trainee)[1]. Upon completing the programme, graduates may look forward to wage increment and role expansion in their workplace, subject to their work performance.
