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...

Received the same email as well. Really surprised me because when I applied, it was around 1 year ago. Are you going to the exam? I think if you passed the exam then only will be called for interview.

want to know how they work? just watch 'united 93' film. a good film about 9/11.

Yo saperin!! Me too!! See u there dude!!

me too...uhuhuh

I saw united 93' i can vouch for it also

is there anyone go to A41 2nd stage test... want to know your story.... i'm still waiting for 2nd test A29

any limitation on the eyes part ? anyway i failed to get class 1, rejected by doctor due to astig from applying the pilot course.

ATCO use class 3 medical certificate.... not much different... just the period to do the recheck on certain med. check..... requirement same as class 1...

Anyone going for the third interview at putrajaya next week for gred A41? Need some guidance and tipss

how u apply this job? spa website?

Yeps you can do it at the spa site

I really hope that the gred is J41.. but its A41

ATC's gred is A41

try watching Tokyo airport drama. currently airing in Japan. the story tell more detail what air traffic controller do.

good luck!

oo. about what they asked?

Bumping this old thread. There will be an exam session for this post next week 30th November 2013, Saturday. Those who applied can check online but there is no place stated yet. I will be going. Anybody else?

hi spikey2506,
did you receive any letter regarding the exam?

No not yet. But in my status permohonan it says Melepasi tahap oleh suruhanjaya, something like that. and from the exam schedule it says 30th Nov

I see. melepasi syarat means already secure place for the exam. am I correct?
hopefully will get shortlisted. reading through the posts seems you are getting closer to work in job field of your dream.
congratulations!

stumbled upon this thread because im getting sms from SPA for the examination as well..

i got it too...what should i study...please help this is my first interview/job exam. ..

mine as well.
Just be prepared.. good luck mate!

no wonder it is the most high paying job for gov't servant

It will be like your typical SPA exam to enter govt service. But with some aviation questions. Read a bit on aircrafts and also the airlines industry in Malaysia. Maths questions are more towards testing ur IQ.

me too going for the exam on 30th Nov!! hoping for the best!! Good luck to everyone selected for the test

all the best for soon to be ATC's candidates

i'm taking d test too tomorrow, my 1st time taking any SPA test

Bump again~ I've passed the first and second stage. The final stage will be in March, which is the interview with SPA. Anybody else from LYN going?

Gudluck guys

Yep i got the final stage to..
Guys is there any chances i go to sabah sarawak rather than klia...
Just asking..i prefer to stay at borneo..haha

They need the most number of personnel in Klang Valley (KLIA, KLIA2, new Air Traffic Management centre in Sepang) but you can also be posted to Kuching and KK, both with control centres. But for the first posting I think it will be in Klang Valley.. They want to give you the exposure first.

thanks spikey.i think i like the job..but i plan to work in industries first before i enter the government..
if i work as atc..is there a lot of malaysia atc who have pass the international license test?
haha.maybe i can cabut for a while to work at international than comeback to malaysia(if i got the job..hahha)
thanks

where can I apply for this job in spa website?
I cant seem to find it. Just graduated from civil engineering under JPA.

Silfer
Refer to SPA website

that is just the description of the job right? but thanks

Top left, Pendaftaran Pekerjaan Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (SPA8i)
Bahasa Malaysia wasn't that hard man

oooooooo.... Thank you very much
because I din bother to click that.

Just sharing my experience during my interview. My SPA panel was Dato' Mohd Zain Mohd Dom. Unlike other SPA panels, he surely knows his aviation stuffs. The DCA panel only asked one question. The rest came from Dato'. The questions are:
Describe what do you know about this job.
How do you handle the pressure if an aircraft declares mayday and needs ur help in landing?
If u give a wrong instruction and the plane is about to hit terrain, what is the pilot's responsibility?
Your instructions contradict with the instructions from the plane's onboard safety systems. Which one should the pilot follow?
You say you really love aviation. What if after 19 years you lose your interest and becomes bored with the job. What should u do?

any age limit for the job? what's the starting pay like for degree holder?

Just an update here. I managed to pass the interview and currently waiting for the offer letter from SPA and DCA. Looking forward to share my experiences during the training and also eventually when I am finally working later.

No age limit, but training can be really taxing so you might wanna take that into consideration. Starting pay is the same as other govt posts, but ATCOs enjoy some allowances not available to other govt services.

May I know what is the starting salary ?
