i wud go to miat if i were u, even if miat is a fortress surrounded by a jungle..
the only thing is just that, if ure not really into the aircraft maintenance, u can choose either to become a lecturer-->theyll send u to oversea and u just name which country u wanna go, or there was once of Miat fren(coz i was Mas/miat trainee), he had a chance to do so, but he turned it down but he choosed his dream to be a pilot, so Mara fully sponsored his training at flying school at kelantan, forgot the name la, and once he passed n got his atpl,he  have recieved offer later from MAS n they hired them..so miat is a good working prospect imo, the thing is just that u can see some babi hutan at the outer fence surronding miat, its kinda funny tho

vunshiung your chinese?
how old r u?taking spm or stpm?
i am chinese too thinking of taking aircraft maintainance.
now i am considering nilai and miat.don know which wan is good.

It seems like this thread has become about MIAT and the MIAT thread has become about LAE.

...bt miat management suckz..so better think twice la..haha...

Well for one thing, the people who decide whether you're an LAE or not is the competent authority DCA and not MIAT. MIAT is just where they train the aviation workforce in general, the mechanics, technicians, and ultimately cultured some potential LAEs. POTENTIAL LAEs. Not guaranteed LAEs right after they graduated MIAT.

Being an LAE might sounds appealing as it is but believe me when say it is not easy, it will be hard, and that's the truth. I know a person who took the exams with DCA for 22 times (yes, 22 times!) before they finally handed him the license. Most people would have already given up after one or two failed attempts. And even if you do become one, it's going to be a very tough job.

You gotta have a really strong heart if you want to get involve in this business. Yes, the pay is good. But with great salary comes great responsibility. So you have to ask yourself, are you really up for it? Will you have the strength to see it thru to the end? From enrolling in a training school to becoming a type-rated LAE? If you think you do then by all means go for it. Aviation is an interesting field and i encourage you all to be a part of it.

got ptptn ,dun worry.. XD.. problem is  u can get full loan still a matter..

I think you can start filling your application form after the SPM/STPM results came out. Did you know you can get the application form at the nearest MARA office? If you’re going for the July intake, you can start sending your application in April, and then they’ll call you for the interview in May.

vunshiung if u apply for miat or any other trainings schools do let me know,i think we can be batch mates
