Queries on SPF Direct-Entry Inspector

[lkml95]

Hello Forum,

I graduated from NTU last year and have thought of applying for SPF's Direct-Entry Inspector since my university days. Similar to a separate thread in this forum, I am a female and wear spectacles/contact lens to correct my vision. I am also planning to go for Lasik surgery end of the year. I am currently in my second job and am planning to apply as a career change.

Just a few queries and would greatly appreciate if anyone has any answers to them, so that I am at a better place to make an informed decision:

• During the 9 month training program at HTA, would it be a 'Book in on Sunday and Book out on Friday situation' or are trainees able to return home daily? I have heard that females need not require to stay in.
• Should I go ahead for the corrective eye surgery, would it affect my medical examination?

Thank you!

Afaik you would have to stay in during the 9 months regardless male or female. But I heard from a friend that ICA DEI is stay out for the entire 9 months but I cannot confirm it. SPF/CNB are both definitely stay in (Fri book out Sun book in) as per what my friends in both services mentioned

As for the eye surgery thing I can't comment

Care to share why you would like to sign on for the above, as your concern with regard to stay-in sounds like a veto factor to your decision

Also only person who can advise whether lasik will affect or not is SPF. Shouldn’t take what people say her as certainty, as nobody will be accountable if u receive wrong info.

I have certain family responsibilities to attend to before and after the typical working hours, hence it could be a decisive factor to my decision.

Thanks!
