Added on March 24, 2009, 11:45 pmdestoryer .. please ask those senior before u give any information regarding salary onboard ..

FYI .. AET is giving USD 200 only .. MISC is giving the same amount also but in RM currency .. so is around RM 650

I'm actually dont know much how the contract arranged ...
either onshore or offshore, I dont think as a sponsorship taker has the position to negotiate with ur boss/company where u want work ...
dont you ever wonder why there is  sponsorship in the 1st place ? , perhaps u can negotiate it when u are interviewing with ALAMs interviewer   
but it mainly depends on whether the company has saturated workers for particular positions ..if there is lack of offshore seamen, then u most probably will be working on offshore ...

again, it really depends on the policy of the agreement u have signed .
 
No, I'm not ...

ALAM is private institution, one of the best private institution that has advanced and complete facilities for marine eng. training in malaysia

PUO on the other hand, is fund by UNESCO and local govt., in term of facilities and quality, I think is almost same( but I can't be sure since I never see ALAM's ones, I just get to know by reading articles in websites )

talking lifestyle, just that if in ALAM u might get to know foreign mates...and ALAM students are bonded with contract while PUO-ians are not .
u should best ask TS on this ... 

about the salary, PUO fresh graduates usually have around rm 4000 to rm 5000  per month, some might get better offers like rm 6-8K....
(I get to know this by asking PUO graduated seaman, whom now works for  http://www.bumiarmada.com/ )

wow man, u sure did alot of research on this field. Thanks alot man, u clear most of my doubts. I really hope i could get into alam. Btw, i do come across some of the blogger post smthg bad about alam. Such as this, how true is that i wonder?

hey guys, i just went to the mara carnival this evening. I came across with a Ranaco Group which also provide maritime education include engineering. Here's their official website Ranaco Group The programs offered are also accredited by JPK, MARA, PSMB, DOSH, PETRONAS. So i guess those who failed to enter alam or PUO can still consider this institute as the alternative.

say... silverchain, does the intake system of Ranaco Group is similar to the ALAM? I mean does the studies is sponsored? By who?

Hi, i got a question here, i opted for Nautical Studies & Maritime Management, where do i go for the cadetship practical onboard a ship? MEBP program offered by ALAM is only for those graduated with an engineering degree right ?

Destroyer
I hv one Q, IF la~ IF my friend graduated from private uni in diploma in mechanical eng, can he go for ALAM and get credit transfer? Haha~

awww, the awareness about this kind of job is extremely lowwww!! thank you so much for the information!!!!!!!!

Just to repost my question as it remains unanswered..

Hey guys, does anyone here roughly have any idea about when will successful candidates be notified by ALAM??? I'm really worried...

this kind of job is unsuitable for who have sea sickness ..

tough job for tough men, certainly not for chickens

for you guys information . in order to register for oral examination, u guys need to do new seaman card that cost RM50 wang pos .. ^^

My friend is going for an interview at Bumi Armada for diploma in marine engineering tomorrow..

Any advice or suggestion?

In this kind of job, mus have swimming ability.
In case they ask, haha u will phail in that.
Worsen if they straight throw u in da water during performance test? haha I jus imagine, not sure how is it. But heard BumiArmada interview is easy no w0rries

hold on, the interview for the sponsorship program started already? If i didnt received any replies does that mean im not selected? huhu

I've got a question for you, how come we don't have a very very strong shipping company such as Japanese, Danish, German, English have?

Always asked this of myself, never could find an answer. Your thoughts are appreciated.

im asking on behalf of my fren..

he got 6As in spm,BM,BI,SEJ,Math,n few others.but no As in science subject(phy,chem,bio)..
he is  a little bit short.*or maybe im the who is tall*,average body weight n good eyesight

what are the chances of him getting into ALAM??he wants to be a seafarer badly

oh man, i seriously need to learn how to swim

So for example ,after you finish grad from ALAM you would be working as engine cadet?then rise to junior engineer?

so...destroyer.. how many years have u been in alam? and who's your sponsor?

So how about the junior engineer???Is it just for show?

btw, i wear spectacles. surely my name is placed in kiv tray?? or im just being paranoid? but they do prefer those without spec. right? wht does ur senior hav to say abt this?

oh man, i wonder who will be comin to sabah area to do the interview thing huhu. .

btw, i apply 2times, both nautical and eng. Bcus i think i wanna change coarse last minute. Will that be okay, wont be sacked? huhu

aww man ...there goes my intention to change the course if I have been there .Can I call the alam to get the confirmation if they get my application?

aww man, i think i shud call too. huhu

edited: just call, oww man today is a holiday? sob2

any1 here has received replies from ALAM? I'm so worried..... Because joining ALAM is practically my last resort... destroyer, could you tell me the chances of being selected if i got 7a's in my spm. and i'm 179cm. I'm really sorry but i don't know bout the minimum requirements. Could you tell me bout it? Thx.
