UPON GRADUATION

What is in store for me after I complete BIC??
Once you have completed BIC, there are a variety of roles for instructors here at CAMP CHALLENGE – from Team Instructors to Station Masters – all of which you will be able to find out more about during BIC. Also, you will automatically be included in our Instructor Development Programme (IDP). Click here to find out more about our IDP

Does attending the BIC course mean that I am already hired by CAMP CHALLENGE, or will you conduct interviews and select candidates based on their performance?
After completing BIC successfully, you will officially be an associate (part-time) instructor with us. We will require you to be registered under the Ministry of Education Instructors Registration System.

What are the working hours and shift hours?
The working hours vary according to the programme timings. Typically, for a 3 days 2 nights camp, instructors are required to come in the night before for a briefing, the logistics preparation, and stay over for the programme the next day. Day 1 would start at 7.30am, end about 12 midnight, then instructors will wash up and sleep. Day 2 would be the same and day 3 would end at about 5pm. That is a typical programme. Different programs have different requirements.
