3.Not eligible for Colour Blind

*Not offered for January Session (Mean that there is only offer once a year, intake will direct took from the intake of July for January Session. For thoes who register at January Session, there will be no offer of this course.) Total semester is 5.

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION INTO POLITECHINIC
Application can be made after SPM results is announced that week. Advertisment can found at Newspaper and Internet here.

There are 3 level to compete to get the course.
Level 1 : To be the selected one to proceed to level 2. Reason too many competitor.
Level 2 : To Pass the written Test. English Test and IQ Test.
Level 3 : To Pass the interview session.

I will explain to you one by one.

Level 1: To be the selected to proceed to level 2.
Meet the requirement set in the application or better. (Colour Blind will test at level 3).

Level 2: To Pass the written Test. English Test and IQ Test.
Normal English Test, for thoes who have good english there is no problems with it. e.g. The door is ______. closed, close, closing. Haha Simple?

IQ Test, this is testing your IQ including Maths, English. The writting part is the worst. Asking the question that OMG, 10 questions I able to answer one only... (really) but the rest you try to write something on it as I do cause in aviation although you do not know the answer you have to put a answer for it also. There is chances to get correct.
*In the English test it consist of valves, fuel flow. That time when I 0% knew about the thing, I though is about car simple thing. But after study in aviation, question are some related. But you will not notice is bring from aviation but car. Hehe

Total Time : I forget already, maybe (1hr 15 or 1hr 35minutes for both papers together-2 papers at one time.)
After this you must wait results for the interview. If you does not get it, than sorry you are elaminate from the program.

Level 3 : To Pass the interview session
What I tell is what happen to me at my time 2007. And Im second batch who attached to this program.

Firslty will be a Colour blind test. If you failed than you can direct walk back, no need to proceed for interview. (This happen before for a Chinese student who like aviation but colour blind.) you will be group up in a 10 people group. Than went into a room and start with a test which is to find out ur personality.

Second, There will be a group discussion. It give you limitted time like 40 minutes for 10 of you to discuss and present it. Marks given for cooporative. So make sure you do together and really discuss. So make sure what you think first before speak cause this is also a mind challenge. You will donno what you are talking. Take the initialtive to talk and please speak english that can be understand by people. No Malay language please cause marks is given.

Third, After that you will be oder to choose 2 from the 10 listed on the paper. For my time is, Repair Electronic stuff, Become a Leader, and bla bla bla forget edi. Cause all papers are prohibited to bring out same as aviation examination. Than the interview start. Really they will ask you questions about aviation and the form you fill up. Questions are like :
-What you control to turn the aircraft.
-What is black box. many many more....
-killer question : Why you choose this course. Haha prepare for it lah.

After this you wait for your results to come out. If you get if congrat. If you failed and still like it, so choice, MIAT, Nilai or somewhere...

OMG. The selection is a lot harder than Tame Mas

LWTR is License Without Type Rating you cannot work on aircraft yet, you need to have the type rating.
Let say if you got a A licence from DCA, you cant work on any aircraft yet, then you take the 737-400 type rating,
now u can work on the aircraft already, but only on the task you can approved (Airframe), you cant work on the engine.If you take the C license, now u can work on both of A and C, if you want to work on other aircraft
eg 777-200, you need to take the 777 type rating, which means u will get more coverage, and more allowances.

Both Easa and Bcar license is called LWTR,
but the type rating is issued by the company eg Mas, Air Asia etc.

So after you grads, you still need to undergo training, it is the type rating, and company courses

If im not mistaken, converting from Easa to Bcar license is just the matter of sitting for a Air Legislation paper.
For Bcar license, we need to change to Easa later on, cause DCA are in the way of converting to Easa

For Mas they only take LAE with type rating only.

If you got an Easa license, you can easily look for jobs overseas

which company is this? i thought the basic is 2k+, +Rm1000 technical allowance +Rm1xx Shift Allowance +RM50 Laundry Allowance

+ Dunno what else, first type rating wont get allowance

If u got a wide body license for (second type rating n above), i heard the allowance is RM1000
and for narrow body is Rm500

This is a big no-no in aviation, if you dont know, ask someone who knows (not in exam), never hesitate, you'll be playing with hundreds of life, you must get it 100% right, you shouldnt be playing with chances

a quote i heard from someone

QUOTE

The difference between a doctor and an LAE
-If a doctor messed up, one life would be gone, If LAE messed up, hundreds of life would be gone

yup,(for EASA) you study B1, once you finished it you have to take the conversion exam (air leg) than you will get the LWTR im not sure which one is the fastest, maybe we have to wait for lestat race to finish

but basically it should be around 5 years in average.

to obtain the type rating, we need the recommendation from the foreman, than we will have the type courses, than we should then take the exam by the company, there is written and oral exam.but if we work at ASU, getting new type is easy, since time is limited in ASU so they prefer lae to have multi coverage

the more type rating you got the more allowance you got,

Oh really? Says who? hmm.gif

i have no solid reference, but thats what i heard from training school and from a lot of people in MAS
thats why i started of with Easa license, but then revert to Bcar since mas training school couldnt get part 147.

and they said it is easa regulation
plz correct me if im wrong

My last conversation with the technical training manager of MAS, he said MAS will be reverting back to BCAR Section L when they're going to re-start apprenticeship training.

I used to work in MAS

I am an LAME.

My sources in DCA said that as far as EASA is concerned, there are no requirements as such for us to change/convert. Our BCAR Section L still works and applicable(which I fully agree). TheBCAR Section L is part of MCAR. We need to change/revised the MCAR first, which will take 'some time'...
Even IF DCA were to adopt EASA-66, it is obviously with changes/modifications to suit our requirements and situations, and it is STILL will be DCA's AMEL.
We're NOT part of the EU. There are issues with the EU and there reasons why the need for them to use a common standard, hence the EASA-66.

Hard is not if your english is good, cause people who knew this course is less and people think polytechnic is low education so the pros will not concern. Like us, your english is far beyond, 100% you welcome in cause other is not so good. My group 10 only 2 can speak english, me and an indian now also my batch. the rest gone...

I mean is in examination, not in real aircraft. Don't tell me that you do not know and you want to leave it blank? As Mr.Satish told us to do.

i mean comparing with tame mas which is only
1.To be selected
2.aptitude test (math,english,IQ)
3.Interview
4.Medical Checkup

and i think few of my friends did the interview in malay

owh, for the exam, of course i know, luckily for us now there is no more negative marking,
last time, there is, meaning if you didnt answer you'll loose 1 mark
if u answer wrongly, you.ll loose 1.5 mark
so that time you just cant shoot if u dont know the answer

IMHO tame in any airlines is the best(even if the training school is a bit messed up), everything is there for u,
all u have to do is complete the course and u confrim work with them, in fact im considered mas staff already with benefits, epf etc. its not the cheapest, basically its free, in fact im getting monthly allowance, but very little only, might need support from parents, an the payback is 10 years of bond, meaning i have to work 10 years in mas as an lame, if i breach the contract i have to pay the bond which cost RM167k for the 10 yrs

for mas tame there is no more intake, even after my intake they already took diploma leaver
lucky for me coz my batch is the last spm intake.

for aa im not sure on their program, i just heard they got their trainee of their own but dunno the details about it.

second would be the nilai, coz you'll be getting lwtr,
this is just my own opinion

yes AA and mas recognize bcar. coz they are following dca, in fact any company in malaysia recognize bcar

if u got an lwtr license, it recognize almost everywhere in the world, especially if u got the easa lwtr

some info for Nilai University College (NUC) aircraft maintenance course
Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance (NUC)
NIUC Aircraft Maintenance FAQ
EASA part66 Exam in NUC

Guys, Im planning to go sit for B2 courses in Switzeland. Its more reliable and shortcorse and only took 2 month to finish for module 5-14.Other than that module(B2 only) you have to sit for others month. Well, I just got the info yesterday from my friend and told my parent bout it and they said OK. Well, the ebst thing bout this course is, i can take whatever module that i wish to. I already completed module 1,2,3,4,7,6,8,9 and still got more halfway to go. Eventhough they conduct an exam here in Britsih Council, im still have a doubt about module 13. Yes, that's the toughest module in B2 and since the course offer for module 13 at outside is freaking expensive( can up 20 15k) I then decide to just jump into this course.

I want to know if there any of you guys or maybe some of your friends attended this course that been conducted in Switzeland before? And how is it? Easy to pass? And can DCA/QA simply rejected my certificate that i get after I've completed this course?

The ICAO Type II license which our DCA's AMEL is, is still readily accepted especially in the middle east.

IF you wanna work with 9M registered aircrafts, it is suffice to hold the DCA's AMEL.
And you you want to venture out.. go with EASA.

owh, thanks jazzy, that mean our bcar license will still work,
there is no need to convert to easa license is it?

Yes, they can. Especially places where they do it in a 'short' time. Quality vs quantity issues.

But if DCA reject my cert, I still can work with any other European airlines? Well, that's the main point now.

Hard is not if your english is good, cause people who knew this course is less and people think polytechnic is low education so the pros will not concern. Like us, your english is far beyond, 100% you welcome in cause other is not so good. My group 10 only 2 can speak english, me and an indian now also my batch. the rest gone...

I mean is in examination, not in real aircraft. Don't tell me that you do not know and you want to leave it blank? As Mr.Satish told us to do.

excuse me MR JOHN, tat mean i also don't know how to speak English la...WTH is tat...i same group with u what...hahaha

OMG. The selection is a lot harder than Tame Mas

LWTR is License Without Type Rating you cannot work on aircraft yet, you need to have the type rating.
Let say if you got a A licence from DCA, you cant work on any aircraft yet, then you take the 737-400 type rating,
now u can work on the aircraft already, but only on the task you can approved (Airframe), you cant work on the engine.If you take the C license, now u can work on both of A and C, if you want to work on other aircraft
eg 777-200, you need to take the 777 type rating, which means u will get more coverage, and more allowances.

Both Easa and Bcar license is called LWTR,
but the type rating is issued by the company eg Mas, Air Asia etc.

So after you grads, you still need to undergo training, it is the type rating, and company courses

a quote i heard from someone

erm..tat mean if tat time i just work as a contract staff(mechanic) in MAS,and i get my EASA license and still waiting for type rating,i still a mechanic?

khye89,
"LWTR is License Without Type Rating you cannot work on aircraft yet, you need to have the type rating."

Not entirely correct. There's no problem about working on the aircraft, it is just that you are not doing any CERTIFICATIONS with regards to release to service, the work and the aircraft.

Here is what I see the EASA licensing is all about.
In a nutshell, it enables technician/mechanics to have license and the authority to certify and /or release aircraft and aircraft related work. Just like the FAA mechanics. Are you an engineer? Not in EASA you don't have to. It's just a position and/or grade in the company that employs you.
