Erm guys, i am here to ask a few questions regarding this Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course. I just finished my SPM and is currently awaiting result, and i'm quite interested in this course offered by Nilai University College.
Nilai stated that course was newly released and we're the pioneer batch. From there, we can obtain our diploma + our EASA license under a 2 years program + 6 months of trainee program. I would like to know the other alternate routes of taking up this course at different college/unis. Any1 mind to enlighten me?
Btw, is this course more like a mechanic in aircraft? I mean i love aircraft and stuffs like that but i'm not so much into the engine part. Of course that is one thing that we have to study so is it still advisable for me to go? I love physics related concept and aircraft, but on the other hand i am afraid that i do not have too much interest in the mechanical part. However, that's what i think only, i believe i can still cope with it if i want to. So can anyone enlighten me by giving a more detailed idea about what is the modules of the course? thanks
It might be a good course..or just a trap..
Many of us seriously doubt the "we can obtain our diploma + our EASA license under a 2 years program + 6 months of trainee program"
because the min period to get ur easa license is 3 years working on a LIVE aircraft if I'm not mistaken, so I really suggest you to ask everything clearly from Nilai college's counsellor if you wanna join. Regarding the different uni's n colleges, whatever course you take, dip or degree, you'll still need that few years exp on a live aircraft to obtain your easa license. unis & colleges don't just give you a license like they give you a degree.
here's a website for the modules that you'll need to go through,
