What You Will Learn

Achieve Your Aspirations In The Aviation Industry. 

Be a high flyer in the aviation industry! Attain specialist and management skills sought by international airlines and airports worldwide. Experience flying in the B747 and DA40 Aircraft Flight Simulators. Acquire air traffic management skills when you role-play as an air traffic controller in the Virtual Aerodrome Laboratory. Apply the knowledge and skills to reallife scenarios when you work on industry projects and engage in stimulating internships with leading aviation companies. Take your abilities to new heights with the opportunity to earn your Private Pilot Licence with the Singapore Youth Flying Club.

My three years in RP have equipped me with essential knowledge for university studies. It has enabled me to be a more confident person. RP’s PBL pedagogy has prepared me well to take on research assignments and presentations in NUS.
