QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Following are the answers to our most frequently asked questions from prospective international students.

1. The amount listed in the FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS section only covers tuition for nine months. The amount does NOT include living expenses, food expenses, travel expenses or visa/student pass fees. This amount is for ONE school year. As RBTCS does NOT offer scholarships or sponsorships, we strictly abide by the amounts stated in the enclosed letter. You may leave your funds in a banking facility in your home country as long as you are able to access your funds, as needed, while in Singapore.

2. RBTCS is a two-year ministry training program commencing in 30th August and concluding in end May of each year. RBTCS has one semester break in the month of December. However, a student may not enter RBTCS after the August registration date for the current school year.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS MUST SUBMIT ANOTHER FINANCIAL DOCUMENT UPON APPLYING FOR THEIR SECOND YEAR OF TRAINING. Upon completion of the second year, the student will receive a Diploma in Christian Education.

5. RBTCS does not have dormitories. You will therefore be responsible for obtaining housing and childcare when you arrive in Singapore. We suggest you plan to spend one or two nights in a hotel until you can secure housing.

6. Singapore has a very good public transportation system. Therefore, it is possible to live in Singapore and not purchase an automobile.

7. We strongly suggest you procure health insurance in your home country, and check to be sure you are covered while attending school in Singapore. You will be required to have health insurance coverage while you are a student at RBTCS.

8. Although RBTCS does not require the T.O.E.F.L. English language test, there will be many tests, reading assignments, term papers and speaking assignments required within a limited amount of time. You MUST be proficient in both speaking and writing the English language to attend school in Singapore.
