-no need to worry for the course fee maaa... becoz when you pass the interview and the written test, company will sponsored you from your study fees until your uniform. food and accomodation also provided. there are many company. all my batchmate got sposored.

-they will come to sabah to interview the sabah candidate. same goes to sarawakian.

- for diploma, you'll have to pay around rm 30k for one sem.

- question that they ask is normally basic question.

1st : introduce yourself.
2nd: why you choose this career?
3rd: who encourage you to join this industry?
4th: what do you expect 10 years later?
5th: who is MISC top person?
6th: how big is MISC fleet?

bla2. juz basic question.


in previous post , u mention about writing test , could u tell us more specific it asks ?
within what we had learnt in spm or out off spm (general knowledge about marine ?)

I got so much free time now , so it's good for me to preparetion.
Any suggestion of what sort of preparation should I have ?

they interview in BM or English ?

# Male & Female
# Single

'(Mathematics/Additional Mathematics), (Physics/General Science)'
mean one(either math or add math) of them need to at least to get B to fulfil the prerequisite or both (math and add math) needed to get B?

since I didn't take G.science , so I guess physcis must get at least B , right?

do they have some sort of examination or test to measure our physical and metal healthiness ?
I'm worried that my physical stamina not good enough as I dont have exercises habit but that I think I could overcome it by doing excise now laugh.gif

Support Level

I dont understand the term above , may u please explain to us ?

we do have female cadets. but small number only maa... 222 male cadets then 9 female cadets. if you're looking for gals, this is definitely not you career line and not the place.

even though I love female but I think my interest toward the marine studies should overwhelm the issue biggrin.gif

I rejected ALAM offer last time but now think it back like jus wasted. Haha, since recession in msia, if u grad as seafarer sure no problems. Cause u don need find the job but they already give u the job with a good benefits.

Anyway,
To be successful for sponsored, i have few opinions here.
*Make sure u have a medical fits(Which no sickness o illness) if not harder u get in.
*Is an advantage if u dont have any vision problems(Colour o vision blind) which mean perfect eyesight is preferable.
*I think geography and race is one another factor which u cant ask they why. I think u will know what this mean.
*And lastly, make sure u take this line as ur future, if not dont do it, once u break the contact, i think u will stay just like hell, u need pay back much more than they amount they spent on u.
* And if u not the one tough and rough, which maybe u easy get sick and bored with a job, better don try ~

That my advise ^^ Good luck to all~

pardon me...I just want to be realism towards this matter ...

racism is what I anticipate,

but how is the chance of non-malay being selected compares to malay during interview ??
in other words, how high the chance of a chinese like me being selected to be sponsored??

how the real life environment ?? is there any racism or overbearing of seniors towards juniors inside the institution ??
I want to make sure I won't stick in racism environment for decades ...

-----------
regarding the application form,

-Identity card
-school leaving cert
-examination cert
-co-cu cert

and I need to send ..

-examination cert: SPM result alone or along with form4/5 examinations results or both??

-co-cu cert: all co-cu certs I got or the general co-cu cert(Sjil Penilaian ku-ko) by our own school ??

thanks smile.gif

nope! the form only will be released after SPM results are released. If i'm not mistaken, the application closed on 31st march last year. interview & written test(will be conducted on the same day. some interview 1st, then written test) around mid Apr-May.

first intake should be around Jun-July. hoho. I manage to study in matric for one month and rest for 2 weeks before entering ALAM.

thanks for the reply mymardept.

You must be one of the mardept officer.

do you haveexample of logbook that engine cadet need to fullfill when he is going for onboard training?

the MEBP programme juz started this year. the first batch are going to finish around this march. if i'm not mistaken, there is the same course available in Singapore Polytechnic. btw, can you explain more about dynamic positioning engineer?

there is something i do not understand. it is about the combine ticket. can you explain more on that thing?
*
hey. why not u email him ??

btw, I got a question regarding the working hours/situation of marine engineer in actual life..

as we know, the engine room is HOT and NOISY and slippery too ...

but how many hours the engineers need to work inside the engine room per day ??

Man, I feel that it must be a very very tough job if had to work under that kind of situation longer than 10 hours per day ...
