Coordinates: 1°20′3.86″N 103°40′17.40″E / 1.3344056°N 103.6715000°E / 1.3344056; 103.6715000 The Specialist Cadet School (abbreviation: SCS), formerly the School of Infantry Specialists (SISPEC), is the military training centre for specialists (NCO-equivalents) in the Singapore Army. The school is situated in Pasir Laba Camp (PLC) in the western part of Singapore. For several years before 2005, it was located at Pulau Tekong when its new premise was undergoing construction.

The school currently has a total of twelve staffed companies, which are divided into three schools. These companies are named Alpha to Mike (excluding the letter I). The Advanced Specialists Training Wing (ASTW) has become the Specialist and Warrant Officer Advanced School (SWAS); hence it no longer falls under the umbrella of SCS.

In 2010, SISPEC was renamed to Specialist Cadet School (SCS) to reflect the wider scope of the school, as it no longer provides Specialist training only for Infantry units.

The Specialist Cadet School was established with the primary objective of training specialists to fill various junior command and control positions in the armed forces. The school is specially equipped with necessary facilities and qualified instructors for the moulding of army specialists. The Specialist Cadet School complements Officer Cadet School in the cultivation of soldiers who display good leadership potential and the capabilities to become key appointment holders in the ranks of the military.
