The RSAF inaugurated the Air Force Training Command to centralise its people development efforts and enhance cross-service training integration.
Air Force Training (AFTC) is an amalgamation of the former Air Force School, Flying Training School, and UAV Training School. It serves as a centre of learning excellence for the RSAF’s people development efforts. The training schools and squadrons under AFTC consist of the Flying Training Institute, Air Warfare Training Institute, and Air Engineering Training Institute.
Established on 17 July 2009, AFTC was officially inaugurated on 22 March 2010 by Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen.

“In AFTC, our airmen will develop strong vocational competencies, to operate well in an integrated environment – alongside other Air Force vocations, as well as with their counterparts in the Army and the Navy. This entails a better understanding of operations, capabilities, and working culture across Services.”
