dude, you just missed the boat!
it was advertised awhile back including at AA website. I don't think they will be advertising for another intake in the immediate future... so lookout for other opportunities..

good luck.

Very true. Having a strong academic qualification does not necessarily mean you will succeed during the interview. It helps, yes.

Honestly, in this field, 'bookworms' are not suitable. It is during the interview process that the 'right' suitable candidates identified.

Having 'cable' helps in getting the interview but Not necessarily mean you get the 'job'... must maintain 'quality' mah....but then again I can't say about MAS way of doing 'things'...

yes, they were planning about it awhile back.. I met the person in charge of the faculty. however what I heard last was, it's scrapped. Don't know how true, will call that particular person to find out....

Congrats teddie.. honeymoon over... hard times coming up! hahaha..

Its all depends how you take things...
some say honeymon, some say otherwise.. whatever it is.. its just 4 yrs of 'hardship' before you earn the big bucks...

good n great things coming your way............. have fun!

I will!!!

So far there's no invitation yet, however the Enginering Training Head is away on duty travel and I am filling his shoes... may be yes, maybe no.. What ever it is, you gonna see more of me from November onwards for the next 4 years..

Happy Birthday in advance eh! What present!!!

We have actually drawn up your training program for the next four years starting November. However, engineering being engineering... paperwork problems, blah, blah, blah, the internal trainees which supposed to start this month, will start on november and the balance (your group) will start december... thats how I see things gonna be at this point of time... the ball is in engineering's court.

Yes, AK own staff for career development. Some have the necessary exposure, just need a proper development. Some of them can pass out within 2 years, average.

bonzaimy,
was that 'Mood' or 'Mod.'? which is short for modifications?
BTW, whats a TJT?

hey.. i got things to after office hours...
although there are invitations to do part time lecturing... see how lah..

crapzzz,
With regards to the 'right attitude' rather than asking the interviewee(teddie), you better ask the interviewer instead as it is the interviewer that set the questions, standards and expectations...

hahaha! That is what you thought! We were the ones that had the last laugh...

Turning the interview into an informal one is just a camouflage to 'see' the real you... It is more than it meet the eyes... Call it 'sneaky'

But at the end of the day, we all had fun while accomplishing the objectives.. thats the culture here...

They say it's better late than never...

The thread topic should be spelt "Licenced" rather than "Licence".
Also the Bahasa Melayu translation for "L.A.M.E.( Licenced Aircraft Maintenance Engineer )" would be "Jurutera Penyenggaraan Kapalterbang Berlesen".
Take note of the word "Berlesen" which is "Licenced"...

Well.. I was!
Sure.. no problemo.

1. The mechanical aptitude test is no different from an IQ test but it is made in such a way to see if you are mentally inclined towards 'mechanical' things. There is NO passing mark but the marks of the group are averaged and anything above average are considered eligible. We also looked at your school certs and your SPM results... before we finalised the list. And yes, the essay also carry weight in the sense that it shows your command of english and how structured you mind is in order to explain the process of, in this case, replacing a window pane.

2. The so call right attitude, kinda hard to put in words here, but from the moment you stepped in the room you are being watched and scrutinised. The way you dressed yourself up, greet, sit , talk and the approach in answering the questions will tell us who you really are. Your facial expression will also show how serious and honest you are with the answering... Its such an informal atmosphere that made you relaxed and show your true self.. teddie said we were laughing and making jokes...
Not many people are cut out to be an engineer, let alone an aircraft maintenance engineer. This is an entirely different ball game altogether and it takes one to know one, so in our guts we will know who are the right candidates. Having an excellent qualifications does NOT guarantee you a place.

I hope this satisfy your enquiry. Glad to be in the position to assist.

Not at all.
No, that is not the critical factor as we will looked at the certs during the interview session.

Nolah.. having the 'perfect' all rounded certs is not the criteria, as that is NOT what we're looking for. Although it helps us in establishing who or what you are. you will be called also if we're curious about you.. and we sensed that you may have the potential...

Correct! Anyone AT and above average, we will call! That is why the number of interviewee was more than a hundred.. slightly more than half that turned up for the aptitude test...

Prepare for the test? I dun think so.. How would you prepare for an IQ test?

That to me is 'overconfidence'.. personally, most guys ( and gals ) did quite well in the MCQ BUT, the essay was miserable.. I was disappointed with the standard of english.. although very few did exceptionally well, some even used bahasa words.. a few send it in without the essay being completed, some even have only one word, "Firstly.."
Come to think of it, the majority of you started the essay with 'firstly'...
On the whole the standard of essay was bad and I had to remark all the papers again.. I barely sleep that nite..

I do not know if there will ever be one next year OR the year after, however, you can always prepare for the next time. Please do improve your english. This a mandatory prerequisite requirement in aviation industry...

Like I mentioned earlier, the essay does have an effect on your overall results. I guess you have to be really good, right?

Now that you know your weakness, work on it ya!

No wonder you went 'offline'..

I

please.. not here! Thats the other 'side' of me..

Well, thats Tony! and the culture we have in AA...

ezi,
you gotta ask yourself what do you want.

If you enter MIAT, which is definitely OK, at the end of the day you will get your:

DIPLOMA IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY (Manufacture)

DIPLOMA IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY (Composite)

DIPLOMA IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY (Avionics)

if this is what you want... is this is what you want?
