if u dont want to wats ur time..go to licensed (LAE)
it easy to get a job as a LAE rather than competing w other degree holder for Technical Services Engineer (TSE).
if u hv a license, it valid worldwide if i`m not mistaken. Aviation industry need more LAE than TSE.

I would prefer MIAT as their student always attached w MAS. I did my practical training at MAS at saw many students from MIAT do some maintenance routine there. In my opinion, thats a great exposure and experience!!

If u do not love 'hand-on' part, then go to university/college. Pursue Aeronautics Engineering Degree...u will learn how to design aircraft, the work principle of avionic instruments, aerodynamics and all related to concept and design. But the disadvantage of doing this, u will be lack of hand-on training.

Added on December 29, 2007, 1:00 pmFrom what I've understand, roughly around 4000+ sent in their applications to AK early this year, only hundreds get interviewed, and later on, only 30 were selected per batch (please pardon my stats if its wrong). That gives the success rate to roughly only 0.75% per application -- that's less than 1%!! (Before this I thought I've had around 20% chance, then later after reading this thread.... around 2% chance... and now.... "meep" )

I am in he same boat as you.Im considerin enrolling for the AME course in Nilai UC. U will be an mechanic in aircraft,similiar to mechanics for automobiles. I also love the physics related concepts and have an interest in aircraft.

I would enjoy the theory part but i have the same fear as u as well. The mechanic part...the assembling and fixing. I dont have much interest in the mechanical part.
I always have ppl askin"do u remove and assemble ur bicycle?" "do u remove parts and assemle them again?" its some what annoying.
But i enjoy figuring out how things work.

Then definitely U should go for a degree/dip in Aeronautics Engineering...
U will learn all the theory and will comeout as a 'designer' and not mechanics...

yup, choose wisely.
if u r more to design an aircraft, u must have enough information on the job prospect as in M`sia currently we are not the aircraft manufacturer but more on consumer. Thats why we need more LAE/AME as every aircraft need to be maintain in order to satisfy airworthiness requirement. If not, aircraft will be grounded and operator will lost millions if such case happen.

Yup..u can check MAS, AIRASIA...middle east also good prospect.

if u have Dip, u will appointed as AMU if i`m not mistaken. For the apprentice, the allowance shud be RM800 like u said. Of coz nowadays MAS will bind U to work for them for few years as they already invest on U...in MAS, their staff is a valuable asset!! For engineer (they called it TSE - Tech Services Eng.) basic salary RM1998 for 2 years (probation period), then once establish will gain extra RM1000-3000 (depends on Cat 1 or Cat 2) tech. allowance...Not to forget, their beneficial...Perghhh....something i cannot resist!!

Added on January 1, 2008, 2:24 amThats y...there is only a few number of Tech. Services Engineer (must be a Degree holder) in MRO center, but they need hundred and even thousands AME/LAE. So, if lucky enough, u will get the job if not.....what to do.

Guess wat, i`m studied Aeronautics Engineering and undergone my internship as Tech. Services Engineer at MAS. My father is a LAE. Already applied w Sepang Aircraft Engineering (SAE), but still waiting their answers. SAE just resume their bussiness on September, so there is a lot of vacancies. Check their website. My former colleague already switch from MAS to SAE as he is now appointed as ASM (assist sr manager)...

hmm...when will MAS open intake for Trainee TSE.

Dont want...living cost there so high. Actually, its a great opportunity to join SIA as SIA is the first operator to maintain A380 so there will be many things to learn but currently, i want to serve my country first.

aLL THE bEST in your studies...
If u get hired, definitely u will attach to AVIONICS section...so get used and prepare yourself with avionics instrument. might help u a lot in future...

well the choice is in your hands. If u still want to further study and interested in designing/fundamental of an aircraft then go for degree, if not...go for internship.

hmm... if he apply for Technical Services Engineer (Avionics) also need 4-5 year aa? But agree w U, Once in..its hard to turn back because aviation field is so big...and keep updating....because it is regulated.

most ppl doesnt know about Technical Services Engineer (TSE). I just share my opinion. As wwwah85 will have a degree, so i dont see any problem if he can apply for TSE (avionics) instead of study again for LAE... Of course it is not the same w LAE. u just misunderstood w my words. I didnt mean bcoz of this field is 'regulated', u cannot turn back. Of coz u can go if u want too...
i mean its regulated industry....of coz ppl dont want to waste their time studying about all the requirements, regulated but in the middle doestn`t want to continue.
