Anyone know which are the days for the new VSC training? Is the new training 6 months or 8 months?
Which are the days normally? Mon and Thu? Twice a week?
Also monday and thursday.
Just went for it today.
wow..used to be 6 months now extend till 9 months...no joke.
One must make sure you have the time before commit. :)
I just the longer training is because it is more comprehensive now.
But as training is now in HTA way out in Chua Chu Kang it is tough to get recruits.
When my intake passed out there were 55 of use. Now... You dun even get 20 at the start of an intake..
IMO, the low intake could be due to the long processing time for new recruits...as you know, people make other plan or join other volunteer groups when they waited for too long. VSC admin could speed up the processing and recuritment process. This might helps :)
Yeah they should speed up the process! I'm still waiting for their letter haha. Training was supposed to start in July, but there aren't enough people yet I guess :(
was wondering when the next batch is coming in.
not even sure i will see the next batch before i pass out from trg in oct.
IMO, a couple of things to consider...
(1) Need to understand why less people want to join?
(2) How come taking so long to process application for those interested?
(3) Where are the recruitment drives and programs?
(4) Lastly, in fact, most importantly..how to retain the people? Recruit and train but if no retention...all the effort gone into drain.
out of point but i can't see where else to ask this, Does SCDF takes in any volunteer for ambulance paramedic duties?

heard rumours the next batch coming in next week, do tell me when the next batch comes in, haha
There used to be 3 intakes in training every year. As 1 intake finshes a module the next intake comes in.
Now?? Maybe 1 a year..
Why so few? I guess there are loads of factors.
Sad thing is that the resign rate is pretty high as well.
May be due to disapoinments of 1 thing or another.
Just try to stay focus on what you are doing, believe that the little that you do goes a long well and stay true to your own course.
eh wah lao how come VSC CDAU all need to be above 18 and completed NS one... CDAU still need relevant experience...
See you new trainees on september 1st!
Woo confirm sept 1st? I haven't received anything yet heh. Normally what stuff will we be doing on the 1st training session? Quite psyched up now lol
I heard another batch coming in in november, not sure which batch is you. If is you, will send you letter at least one week before, and call you on your mobile too.
first is orientation! That means come and see people talk, and ask any questions you want to ask. Also need to give your shoe size, waist size. will get the receive training schedule for the whole course.
Next lesson should be sign some important documents, and they will tell you basic rules and conducts of police==> don't anyhow accept gifts/money, you catch Mas Selamat won't get reward $$$. A peculiar one i remember is no BGR with the instructors.
Quite sure first actual lessons will be PDT, so train up!
Woo ok! So if I'm in the sept batch i should be receiving a reply by next week (: Any tips on training myself up? :D
