The students will undergo a nine months training programme at Singapore Airlines Engineering Company starting from March 2008 and on successful completion of training they will be absorbed in Singapore Airlines.
During the nine months of training at Singapore, students have to undergo an established training programme where they will be taught aircraft structural repair, modification process, aircraft system fault analysis and rectification on different types of modern passenger aircraft operated by Singapore Airlines.
These students will then be employed in the line and base maintenance of Boeing and Airbus series of aircraft
