Hey guys, I'm new here.
Between AlAM and SMA, which one is better? And why the fees between these two so different?

QUOTE(IVX @ Jan 31 2012, 06:03 PM) the cadet program still open or not..can I still submit my application? They will reopen the application after the SPM result is released. Minimum height is 158 cm(ALAM). Try Sarawak Maritime Academy.im about 150cm only and im 21 ..am i qualified?  Added on February 1, 2012, 10:44 pm QUOTE(Eternalbliss @ Feb 1 2012, 04:36 PM) Hi guys. i have decided seafaring as my career pathway about half a year ago. As for Sarawak Maritime Academy, you need to finish your 1st semester then only can apply for sponsorship (using your 1st sem result) <- That's what the SMA staff told me.I want to enroll into ALAM but apparently i dont have physics, so i am having difficulties enrolling. I am currently waiting for a reply from Sarawak Maritime Academy which is in about 2 weeks time. Anyhow I am actually here to inquiry all of you respective users: what channels or how can i secure a sponsorship before i enroll into any of these institutions? I am really having problems looking for a sponsorship as i know the Diploma in Nautical Studies course can only be completed if the sea training is completed which requires me to secure a sponsorship form a shipping company. Anyhow any channels to secure a sponsorship with a Singapore based maritime company would also be GREAT as studying Diploma in Nautical Studies in Singapore at Singapore Polytechnic is actually my first choice, though the application's closing soon. GREATLY APPRECIATE THE HELP AND ADVICE GUYS =) This post has been edited by xcoselete: Feb 1 2012, 10:44 PM |

QUOTE(Eternalbliss @ Feb 2 2012, 01:04 AM) The sponsorship given is offered by Shin Yang Group of Companies (which is the mother company of SMA) if im not mistaken. I would love to have other alternatives other than Shin Yang, not to say they are bad =) Yeah SMA is a part of Shin Yang company. If you look into Bumi Armada website, they also sponsor SMA students.Thank btw xcoselete.  This post has been edited by xcoselete: Feb 2 2012, 11:19 AM |

Aik why they gave you the conditional offer letter since youre using actual result? Like destroyer said, better you call ALAM for explanation. Btw, when did you sit for the written test?
Added on February 7, 2012, 7:44 pm Added on February 7, 2012, 7:36 pm so when did they gave u the letter? i already checked their website and found that they only have one intake per year that is 6 of august. is true? [/quote] They only open one intake per year. You're taking DME/DNS eh? This post has been edited by xcoselete: Feb 7 2012, 07:44 PM |

QUOTE(JT1160 @ Feb 7 2012, 07:59 PM) so those who passed the interview must wait for april interview also eh? No. Only those who failed and who are really keen to join this field can come again and sit for the written test that will be held in April. |

Still no idea bout it. I think it will be hard to get a sponsorship. Actually im waiting for the alam entry assessment that will be held this april. Just wondering, maybe I can confirm my acceptance of the offer of admission later than the given date? Btw, youre taking dns/dme?
