Thank u so much! Now I feel like I've made the right choice to want to join alam. What kind of questions do they ask during the interview?
*
when you attend the interview , from there you will know , who's going to sponsor you ,usually interview 1 will from shipping company another 1 is from alam ..
so they will ask about yourself , introduce , bla bla ..with confident,
then read an essay , then explain what you understand from the essay ,
then random question
and most toughest question , why do you want to join alam?
hahaha..
"the reason i join this career is because , i want to get the chance to see blalblabla"
haha

I'm really sceptical about whether or not this is even close to being true.. Can anyone shed some light on this?

for promotion
1st depend on your coc
2nd depend on seatime

example
youre holding class 3 coc
you join ship as 3rd officer
6 or 12 month you may get promoted to 2nd officer
but with that 12 month seatime
you already qualified to attend class 2 coc course for 6 month and pass the oral
youre holding coc class 2 now
join ship as 2nd officer ,depend on performance you can become chiefmate
once you have 18 month seatime using coc class 2 license
take 2 week revision courses , take oral exam
now youre class 1
youre most welcome to join ship as chief officer , the company will promote to you to master once they are confident with you.

depend on the size of vessel youre joining and what type of vessel
ship are registered .domestic , near coastal and also fg
example,
if youre holding class 3 coc , youre holding wko 500gt or more foreign going
if you have 12 month seatime , you can endorse for
below 500 grt domestic master , below 3000gt mate..

you will understand more once you join the industry

No worries,haha biggrin.gif I understand that becoming a seafarer u have hectic schedule. As for my questions, well i am still only worried if my age (24 y/o) will be a factor for the sponsors in ALAM. I am worried they wont sponsor me because I am not immediately after SPM.

2) I also heard about getting shipberth 12 months practical during the 2nd year of studies is very difficult. I heard nowadays company dont offer the 12 months seatime to cadets currently studying. Some even drop batch because they waiting for chance to get shipberth. Is this true??

3)Also, I am considering to undergo my cadet training at SMA ( Sarawak Maritime Academy). If u have any info on this academy (current cadets/facilities/education/sponsorship/fresh graduates) I hope u can share with us here. A

4)I was also reading about DPO( dynamic positioning officer). 1)Do u know anything about DP course(cost, which institute offer in malaysia) and 2)if DPOs easy to get jobs in maritime or O&G sectors.

I didnt know u are also 1 of the member in Persatuan Pelaut. Its a small world haha. Its really nice u guys are helping those unfrotunate to get jobs in the maritime industry. Keep it up smile.gif

1) please apply and attend the interview first , some of my batchmate is around 24 when they join alam .all of them are being sponsored .

2) if youre being sponsor with shipping company , they shouldnt be any problem .to find your own ship is not hard , make sure u score 3.0 and above during sem 1 and 2.. dont be choosy , if they pay u 200 usd , just accept it.. or maybe lesser..seamtime is much more important

3) i have no information for sma sorry

4) get your coc first , then u can go for dp basic in singapore ,cost price 18k . get 6 month seatime onboard dp vessel , then go for advance dp to become dpo ..dpo earning 500-700 usd per day ..dpo is very high demand now in malaysia due to oil and gas nation.

yes , im also helping myself , networking is important , help others , and someone else might help you..
im jump from company to another now ..you just need to know how to sell yourself to the industry lol

I read somewher that if you work 8 months or more (meaning 8 months at sea in a year) only then you can get tax free salary. Not sure if this is true. Need some other person who is expert to comment on this. Anyone??
