Hi zizdnyll, wonder if youre still around.
How is the entire process to join? Just apply at the website and wait for them to contact and go for interview and tests?
if self sponsored, dont we need to look for a company to sponsor us in future? (Confused what some are saying here)
The process of joining is not all that complicated really. I will be only talking about the process of joining at Akademi Laut Malaysia (ALAM). First you will need to to apply online.
1.Download the application form (Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet) and once it is completed email it back to them with the other supporting documents. Choose what course you want to enroll in (Diploma in Nautical Studies or Diploma in Marine Engineering). In the application form, there will be a question asking you whether or not if you will still want to join ALAM as a self-sponsor even though you did not get any sponsors.
2.If you are selected, they will send you an email. During "interview day", you will have to first sit for a test.
Only if you pass the test will you be called for the next session that is an aptitude test, mainly to try and determine your personality and whether or not if it suits the type of people the company that is going to sponsor you is looking for. Then, finally there is the interview that consists of a one-to-one interview followed by a group discussion. After this is done, you may go back home.
3. Wait and see whether if you receive an email from ALAM notifying you that
a.)You have been offered a place at ALAM.
b.)With what course i/e Diploma in Nautical Studies (DNS) or Diploma in Marine Engineering (DME)
c.)If whether or not you have received any sponsors. (If none then you would have to pay if you still wanna join ALAM if I am not mistaken)
If you are self-sponsored, you only need to look for a company to sail/work under in the future. From what I have been reading you will be definitely be offered a job because there is demand.
Cheers and Good Luck
