Asking about seafarer,

Hi, Maybe you know me

1) I want to ask that people who wear spec cannot get this course in ALAM?
2) How about study half way and change to this seafarer field?

Thank you, reply asap

hrmmm....

for the 1st question.

yes. you can enter alam if you wear spec. but make sure you choose marine engineering course. nautical studies need you to have almost perfect eyesight. almost same like pilot.

for the 2nd quest,

what course are you taking now. what make you interested to change to seafaring field?

I am from Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. Now my college does not comfirm my future with License Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME). As finish my senior still get nothing from MAS. If all be contract staff, useless is a part, forward degree, everything start from zero, useless is a part, than I with my friends will change career field from Air to Sea right now this March intake. Wasted 1 years and 1 year in Polytechinic. If they start a program for us to forward our study to LWTR or TAME, than it can consider. But the point now is everything is in a maze. Still do not know what path to go after leaving the maze of this course DAM(Diploma Aircraft Maintenance).

Going around is what I wanted cause is my one of my hobbies.

Im an advanturer, like to discover everyrthing by my self. Just matter is sailing or by air.

Choosing the air is the first but now it seem start faded away (need long long time to make my hobby a live). So sailing is good in money and also travelling the world. Same with Aviation, money is good by problems is alot.

I like engineering.

I have been attach to MAS since last year and now also in MAS OJT. I live aviation but the point is working as a jr.tech for my job is not what I want

o.O Ya must pass the interview.

Ya Can but is a matter of time factor. As A Jr.Tech of MAS staff, must wait for the LWTR course avalilable and to be selected. It take times...

If contract staff, sorry that chances is like 10 pages of Harry Potter Books... and to take our self, EASA part 66 CAT B got 11 papers, and each paper exam is import from UK and we have to pay our self 100%. And how about study meterials? Who will teach you? If went for courses money is a booming. You work and money is for study.... Is this what you want? Not 1 or 2 years, but is counted as 6 years above +++ depends OMG.

One more thing is when we start working, we tend to be lazy and stop learning. Did you agree??

We need extreme motivation to continue study when working. This will be the hardest time of all time. Overtime is a money earning point. But where is the time for learning?

Compare to METC (Malaysia Airlines Engineering Training Centre), for them all the syllabus is fix and toward directly to LWTR>LAME, and everything is FREE and for us all is vice versa.

Our syllabus is not fixed, and we must find the way to get license ourself. We need to search for the path by ourself. Cause my institution is still new. First batch just graduated. We are the white mouse, and when there is a program error, start changing....

So this is what I get if be Jr.Tech.

1) Work under MAS as staff Jr.Tech, coporation with formen and go for LWTR at MAS training school is free. After LWTR is LAME with Type Rating Courses.

2) Work under Mas as contract staff Jr.Tech, want to get course can need to pay(individual)...but depend on company want you or not. But chances are like 10 pages of Harry Potter Books...

So the next intake is around March 2009? After SPM release in between 1 week?

I can say that this is the most better career because it have scholarship for those who needed, and the money is also a nice firgures.
But the only thing is offshore.

destroyer, can you tell me the module you study?
Semester 1 until last semester. And what facility. What you do doring weekend?

Destroyer, I think I can't be your junior in seafarer, will stick back to where I belong now.

When I need someone to help there is. And he help me alot.

Aviation field to get license by own is hard especially EASA CAT B1&2. But I have people helping and motivating. I would like to continue.

As your salary is high enough, at the age like your senior linuxskate 22, 7K + -. I need that firgure I have to work hard now and minimum 25 years old only have 8K + -......

As you said, every jobs have it pros and cons.

No problems on this. Aviation always welcome to you. No age limit. (only you need to be able to read and write in english)

Study now for me is not easy hehe cause still fresh.

Stewardess,.... some ok some OMG>(dont want to think also)

Really Pilot earn more than engineer but is like marine will not always stay at home. engineer always at home, pilot 14days out. Marine 6 months.....

Ya, that is real. Like people who hire from other country in Mas RM60~Rm150/hour. Is that little or many? Just work 8/hrs per day with Rm60/hours for 20 days a month=RM9600....

Nono, im just a trainee in engineering. Under Poly OJT under mas. Pilot not sure cause 100% more than engineer. No pilot friend currently so cno story to tell.

4 stripes is captain, 3 stripes is FO. 1 Bar is trainee( cadet pilot). In mas i saw alot pilot including other country such as ANA(All Nippon Airlines). But no friends yet. And learn Radio under a B747 retired captain, but still did not talk about pilot. hehe

Yeah people who in India from mas $$$ is good. But mostly come back say no good. nice with 45k permonth. USD or RMY?

Like after I have my license, I cound not join seafarer anymore? Cause the age problems???

O.o, DONNO WANT OR NOT....

I saw at newspaper say not more than 23 years old..

Haha, congrats to all the selected one and don't be sad for the in waiting list.

I did't register for this time hehe. Still hoping the aviation. Goodluck guys..

Still waiting for the future aviation. Elaborate, hmm~. Nvm lah.
Shortcut is if i still survive in aviation than will not consider marine. Haha cause two also i like...

Yeah, go for it!!

Destroyer i think offshore now for training....

So silverchain, did you called the poly to reclaim your written test?

So you get marine engineering?

Just go. If you go, you still have 50% rather than didt go have 0%. Try your best and after you get everything than choose the right one.

Who get politeknik marine engineering at Ipoh?? The results came out at 15 Mei right?
