hmmm NPCO sounds fun...
Talking about driving license, i already have my class 3 so there is a conversion course right? who is eligble for the conversion, NPC officers only? And i've never really seen a CPL driving around unless its like to ferry those CSOs in the vans. So if i have a license, will i be 'misused'? Its ok if you don't want to answer the last part
Pass in english as in O levels or is there another test conducted?
You all say that after my BPT i'll be most probably promoted to CPL, why most probably only, any specific criteria i have to meet first?
Thanks again

1. Yes but very few. OCT, IMO, will not let you experience your SPF life, as they tend to be posted to do office duties due to their rank.
2. After BPT you'll get posted to different units where you will receive more specialised training. (Eg. SOC go SOC course, NPCO go NPCO courses etc) Progression will depend on your appraisal 9-12mths after you POP and get sent to your unit. Prior to your promotion you'll go for a 1 week course after which you'll most probably have your Sgt rank.
3. IPPT you'll need a silver to be qualified for the more interesting vocations.
Whatever you do, don't apply for the Field Instructor post, which will make you miss out on the ground life.
NPCO will be fun if you like to experience the real world, where drug addicts, kiddy bengs and illegal immigrants will be your prey.
Good luck.Hi
Thanks Sagara for your reply.
I asked about the OCT course just to measure if it was worth fighting for during my NS. You see, i intend to join the SPF after doing my degree which means its as a SO. So i thought if OCT is done in NS then i don't have to do it again right. But then again another reason is to be on par with my friends in OCS
haha joking only...
You said that NSPIs get to do mostly admin work right, so what about regular SOs, do they get to do investigative work?
Interesting vocations ah... like? The only interesting vocation i know other than NPCOs is the STAR unit, but its only for regulars right. So there are other interesting vocations?
Back to rank structure, after BPT is CPL or rankless(SC?)? or is it after the course(NPCO etc.) then CPL.
Haha i hope this is not a 'private' thread, others who have other things to share, contribute generously...
Thanks

Hello,
I'll be enlisting soon with the SPF for my NS (quite excited actually) and since i know close to nuts about the training structure and other stuff of the SPF i thought i might post some question here.
1. Are direct enlistees allowed to go for OCT course if they perform well? I read from the sfp website and from some of the older posts in this forum that the OCT course is open to those who come from bmtc only. currently i have two friends doing their basic police training and they say its possible to be selected for OCT, however the odds are like 2 out of 400?
2. What is the training/advancement structure like at the HTA? Like for now my BPT is 13weeks. What happens after that. Is there like a police version of sispec after the BPT. What rank will i hold.
3. How much IPPT play a role in terms or being selected for courses or promotion?
I have a Dip and my pes status is A. thought u might need these to answer my questions.
Thank you all in advance for the replies to come!
