Hi guys... Anyone here taking UK CAA papers ? Want to know if I can continue taking exams under different part147 organisation. Like those offered in TAFE college and d'aviation. Thanks.

[SIZE=7]

i suggest u to enroll APR-ATC apply for TAME program... its one of the DCA approved training school.. they'd offer b1.1,b1.3 n b2... my big brother was 28 juz like u...he enrolled n had been selected for TAME program july intake recently n same goes to me huhuh  .. but to apply for mara loan u must be between 18-25 years old.. if u doesnt hv any financial problem it'll be fine bcoz they really concern about ur financial since u dont qualify for the mara loan.. but u can try yayasan negeri loan ... heres the link for application  http://www.aeroprecision.com.my/training/application.htm
u can also check their fb page https://www.facebook.com/pages/APR-Aviation...timonster=br_tf

the program is 4 years ...n the fees is affordable too..which is 90k ONLY.

seriously? ... it depends on wht r u applying  for laa... if u apply TAME program denifinitely u gonna be LAME if u pass all the modules n done OJT .. if u apply for technician then ull be a technician... again if u apply for mechanic the u'll be a mechanics...

hope this will clear the air.

r u spm leavers? 

Hi Aurora,

I am also 28 this year and holding a degree in commerce and would like to change my career.
So my question is which is better in term of pay? LAME, technician or mechanic?

And I also saw that APR has part time as well.
For part time the end result would be the same of a full time am I right?

Please help as I am really interested in it.

Is it true that MARA loan only provided to age of 18-25 ages?

I'm not a bumi, but from what I heard, yes.

Let's brighten up this dead thread with an image



Currently going through my OJT's.

Thanks. Good for you. 

Another year of suffering and negative pay left though

Well, hoping the passion you have can compensate for suffering and -ve pay though.
Where are you do OJT?

MHS Aviation in Kerteh, they operate Eurocopter EC225 daily for offshore flights. And Yeap, kinda enjoying it here and I haven't even entered the Heavies dept yet. Won't get bored of seeing these helis everyday.

Wow that's good.
Well, im just starting re-ignite my dreams after a few years detour from it. Hopefully I can make it.  :D

And where do you currently stand from that dream?

Haha. Zero. Surveying a suitable option (plus fastest) to obtain it.
Currently in mfg factory, thinking that too young to settle down. Lets challenge myself further. 

I'll have to warn you that if you are to enter this field, you'll be starting back from zero again. Means you'll be classmates with SPM graduates. DCAM requirement for 2 years contact hours in class and another 2 years contact hours practical. Only decent option is APR, which is 4 years and 90k full time studying.

Yeah. I'm aware about that. 
Thanks mate!

Well. All the best then. I know a few guys like you as well, finished their degree in Electrical/Electronic, joined the workforce for 3~5 years then entered APR and start from zero again. Really mega respect to these people 

Just a question. I have a friend that alsoa of doing this career with me. Willing and have same passion with me.
Unfortunately, he has a color blind condition, partial of course. Graduated with degree of mech eng.

What's your advice/opinion? his chances of getting employed afterwards?

Honestly I'm not too sure about the colour blind part...
