Anybody applying for this post, or anybody currently holding this post? I applied for it already through SPA website. I am an aviation geek, and a pilot is too far for me to reach right now. So this post is the nearest I can get to work in the field of my dreams

whats the basic qualification to apply?? apperciate further info..i m same like u...aviation geek and pilo os way far fr me

i heard can smoke when working

I got a friend working as Engr in Air Traffic Control..
at early stage, he was sent for training oversea for 6mths in Europe.
now he's stationed at Sabah..

in this field, you must be willing to travel a lot. if you're home sick type of person, dont go for this job. where got airport near to your place/hometown?

i'm not sure what type of post you applied. be prepared since the interview quite tough for technical level..

I am applying for the officer post, A41 grade. There will be exam, test, an interview and about one year plus of training at the academy. Currently studying like hell, reading everything I can find about ATC and the SPA exams.

great job. But once mistake you wil shitbrix

Hi bro,

I've been working as a contractor for them before, yeah, their job is pretty stressful man. You got to work in a shift also. Yes, there will be courses you must attend after getting the job, and must pass the exam. The pay is quite good also man. btw, your english must be very good, and you must do multiple things in a single time, and not to mention you must have great hearing also, as some of the pilot not speaking clearly because of their native tounge perhaps..haha. Most of all, you must be steady, and not easily stumble..haha. ...Btw, if you do anything wrong, even a miss flight (If I m not mistaken, forgot the term already), you will be investigated, and maybe suspended man..Its national security..About the smoking thing, If at night, and at the tower, can la, but if at the air traffic center, cannot man. You want to smoke, smoke outside..haha..

I know about the pressure and the risks. But I figured since I have a passion for aviation, things will work out ok. Calculated stress level, so to speak. I suppose that's better than working in a field with absolutely no stress at all, but you're working just for the sake of working, without any passion at all?

Passion is one thing, stress is another. Stress levels can never be calculated when you are really working. Anyways, good luck.

Join the TUDM reserves then you can be your aviation freak (part time) until age 55.

The job is definitely stressful, that I have to agree with. But hey, if you're really into it, once you start polishing your skills, trust me mate, you'll love the job. Where u at now currently anyway?

A very interesting job. Survey shows that air traffic controller is the number 1 most stressful job in the world

A teacher bro, so already in public service. So from here, it's from MOE to DCA.

Haha, nice nice. You know, you could actually call up the nearest ATC and tell them you'd like to come over to look at their operations. Tell them your interest in the field etc, and they'll give you the green light to go up for sure.

this topic caught me out of interest...Just wanna ask, what are the minimum qualifications required to be considered for this position?

And how do one apply for this kind of job in Malaysia?

I have always found it interesting since I watch Aircrash investigation series quite frequently...

Applying for Air traffic controlled? As long as you hold degree that is recognized by jpa you can apply for it. I'm a degree holder in air traffic management,
It's kindergarten!

Cutejams, the lowest qualification is spm with credit in few subject like bm and maths

Vines, and you are Malaysia airline flight crew? I was in FMB til last friday!

It's been confirmed by various sources that there will be a new intake this year for this post. Estimated registration at the academy in May. Anybody else applying?

hi, i just got an email from SPA to attend the Air traffic controller A41 exam at putrajaya on 28 april.
is it confirm that the registration (start course) at the academy is in May? it seems too fast cause after the exam, supposedly we are gonna have an interview before being selected...
