Going to OOC

Not sure what will lead you to going Out Of Course (OOC)? To be honest, most of your commanders aren't too sure either.

The policy for OOC varies from company to company. Typically, most companies will try to avoid putting cadets out of course, and will do all that they can to ensure that the cadet manages to complete the course. This is done through Remedial Training or external attachments.

If you miss out on activities such as Live Firings, or if you have a long term Excuse Camo status, you may not necessarily be put out of course. Ultimately, the decision lies on your OC and your CO.

However, in some cases, your commanders will still end up having no choice but to put a cadet out of course. Below are a few possibilities:

  • Cadet missed more than 10% of training, and there are no available opportunities to attach the cadet out to another company to complete the training that he had missed
  • Cadet has a long term status that makes him unable to undergo training, such as a 14 Days Attend C (Medical Leave) status
  • Cadet wants to go out of course for reasons such as retaking 'A' Levels as a private candidate
  • Cadet has integrity issues such as cheating/forgery, resulting in him being put out of course
  • Cadet has failed the course veto factors — IPPT for Foundation Term and SOC for Professional Term
If you end up fail your IPPT for Foundation Term or if you fail your SOC for Professional Term, you will face the dreaded Performance Review Board, where the Commander SWI will assess what to do with you. Potentially, he may grant you a grace period to clear your IPPT/SOC, and then you may join the following Pro Term/CAT Term course as a cadet again.


If you OOC before completing Foundation Term, you will have a Private (PTE) rank.

If you OOC after completing Foundation Term, you will have a Corporal (CPL) rank.

Typically you will not OOC during CAT term. However, if you fall ill and end up unable to attend CAT term, you will probably have to go for the next CAT term again. Of course, though, you will still get your 3SG/ME1 rank together with your batchmates.

      Yes, depends on ur pes
      Where u go after u ooc is determined by when u ooc n your pes status
      If u ooc found term cuz u fail peer appraisal but pes fit, u will be likely sent to recourse found term or storeman spec course
      If u r not pes fit then u become asa, and if ur unit need admin spec they might ask u go for the course
      If u ooc close to end of pro term n still pes fit, u become the operator/pioneer cuz u received the training of ur vocation, u r still pes fit and u r not a spec

      All those talking abt becoming ncc spec or admin spec in plc r those who ooc in infantry n not pes fit.

      If u ooc scs, becoming a spec is really up to ur luck.
