-wats with the first induction...the seniors will be there...?

I think you should think of Passing your 4th Class. Oral Exams are harder than written exams.

But if you want to know the fastest would be 8-10 years.

For you guys and gals embarking into the Seafarers industry, you better be prepared. It is not an easy industry, but if you play your cards right,in the end you will be thankful. I have been sailing for over 10 years.

If you're in it for the money. There aren't much rich seafarers since we all know how to spend money only.

If you're the type who needs someone to cry on always or check your phone every 10 minutes, don't join this career.

Being away from home for 6-9 months is harder than it sounds. Imagine your love ones asking why you can't come home for raya and they will never understand your explanation. Be prepared to let everyone down. But if you manage to make it past 5 years sailing, then you can see the difference in quality of life that you have compared to your friend. (if you pass your exams la)

If you're lazy and cannot do physical work. Don't join this career. You're first few months training on a ship, you will be ragged like a kuli only. Mopping and cleaning.

If you cannot respect anyone and follow orders, don't join this career. If you are rebellious and always think you're right, don't join this career. I know I am always right ! LOL

But if you are a poor boy like me and don't have daddy's money to spend, then maybe this is the right career. If you want to bring your life out of poverty and you are willing to sacrifice, then join the sea life.

Ask yourself, WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?

Added on March 31, 2011, 5:07 pmUsually its the other way around. A lot of my friends went from Marine to Mechanical and some to naval Architecture. But anything is possible when you have the money. I went into Business Administration after my COC class 1. I was a nautical student.

haha, im just worried i cant even pass the exam, its been 2 years since I study that spm subject.

Now im busy looking for my books in the store

Btw, the exam is the same standard as spm? super hard or?

aaaaaaa

does anybody know when we got to know whether we got selected or not?

I mean for the sponsorship.

Anyone else got interview at Alam Melaka campus on 20/4/2011?

yes i got it.and this my second time for alam interview

i got that slot too! agi5298, u've been thru this before?care to share some exp? btw i got call from ALAM at 12.30 today and i didn't pick it up haha.,now i been trying to call them to ask wassup haha

no problem. probably with that kind of result and if u keep up the hard work, u might as well become top student.


agreed. well said bro.

Hi..wanna ask about RETI - Ranaco Education and Training Institute. Anyone heard about this one? My brother got the offer there for diploma in maritime tech engineering. Is it wise for him to take this offer?

Sorry if i'm in wrong topic

i'm not saying bad bout anybody. juz that, some of my fren who sailed onboard offshore support vessel met guys from ranaco. so far they only met ranaco student able to climb up till rating only.

i'm not sure. i might be wrong. for foreign going vessel, i don't think i've met/heard ranaco cadet before.

ya lor, , is not to say anything bad about some body, but to be honest la, i have a few friends from ranacco, when they want to send their cv at a company, employees will see the first cv of where you learned previously, if the rannaco, hmmm ....

for that part, i blame the institution. not the student.

because maybe they're lack in facilities that when shipping co come for tour, they will think that ranaco cadets lack of competency since they're given improper training because lack of facilities.

last time when we asked ranaco booth guy during education fair, they also talk bullsh*t. they don't even know how it is to work onboard. i was like wth... but we just 'layan' that guy. better go to sarawak maritime academy.

guys thanks for the advice..i have no idea about this stuff
From what your saying it's better for him to consider another option beside this one

ok it is like this.i pass the entrance exam (which 99% i was sure i wouldn't have pass the exam but i gone through it) .after that they gave us an article and ask to prepare answers for given question.(for me about traffic jam) within 10 to 15 minutes.than they call us one by one to interview room.in this case i was the first person to be called on that day.i was very nervous but i manage to settle down and started my interview by saying"a very good afternoon sir".at first they ask me to tell about myself(in between they looking at my certificate file).secondly they ask little bit about maritime industry.(where i cant even open my mouth)but i manage to tell something about ship which i seen from movies.thank god.after that,they began to ask questions frm the article.i answer all of their question.(here actually they want to see how confident are we in our statement).hence they grab some of my point and ask more detailed answer where i think it didnt satisfy them.so just keep on telling the same answer with little alteration to them.finally they ended up saying that we will make a call if u pass this interview for the induction week.

i waited for one month and i didn't attend any call from them.then i called them and they said the induction week already going on.thats all, i failed

any way i will prepare better this time.by the way kasyfulrazihan is this ur second time?u r applying for DMS or DME(me DMS but i applied for DME last time)

so we meet on 20th april uh!

haha.,my bad.,i was on 21st not 20th.,this is my first time.,hope i make it through,good luck for all the other applicants too! i nvr been to melaka, hopefully i dont get lost haha
