SAF Warrant Officer School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SAF Warrant Officer School (SAFWOS) is a training school of the Singapore Armed Forces that trains warrant officers.[1] It is located within the Pasir Laba Camp complex. In the new scheme, Third Warrant Officers (3WO) of all services aspiring to promote to higher ranks in the Warrant Officer Corps are trained here. On graduation, they receive their rank as Second Warrant Officers (2WO).

SAFWOS is a tri-service school, which has the stated aim of bringing warrant officers from all three services together in a great "melting pot" where ideas are exchanged and cohesion is developed. Apart from training new warrant officers, SAFWOS conducts other courses as part of continuing leadership training for existing warrant officers taking up new appointments such as Battalion Regimental Sergeant Major. SAFWOS, Specialist and Warrant Officer Advanced School (SWAS) and Specialist Cadet School (SCS), are part of the Specialist & Warrant Officer Institute commissioned in 2007 and re-organised in 2010.

SAFWOS; SAF Warrant Officer School, has been renamed as SAFWOS Leadership School since 17 January 2018 to be inclusive of the Military Expert Corps (through train), who also undergo leadership training and development at the direct- and organisation-levels. #WPWL
