* Specialist cadet (SCT)
* Third sergeant (3SG)
* Second sergeant (2SG)
* First sergeant (1SG)
* Staff sergeant (SSG)
* Master sergeant (MSG) Master sergeants may be selected to attend the joint warrant officers' course at SAF Warrant Officer School to be promoted to second warrant officer. In the new scheme, they need to first go through the rank of third warrant officer, which is usually attained just before or after they go through the warfighter course from the Specialist and Warrant Officer Advanced School.
