hi, may i ask if i finished the diploma programme and search for cadetship to do OJT and will be hired as fresh grad with 4-5k salary?

Approximately how long does it takes to finish the course and become a seafarer?

wow.. the salary is much higher compare to LAE..Approximately how long does it takes to finish the course and become a seafarer? Any other university proviede this courses beside ALAM?

Most student in ALAM is malay right? so as seafarer?

We need good eyesight (without optical aid) to become a seafarer?

hmm.. this career is quite interesting for a spm leaver.. currently considering diploma in aircraft engineering want to be pilot but gt short sightened but this career is quite interesting too .. will put into consideration..

The cons are staying away from home and family (cadet 1 trip 12mth ) and will be boring at ship .. Pros is no need collect OJT, work sche,log,type rating etc straigth can start ur career after diploma

Thanks(destroyer and linux) for the above replies and answers, wish you all the best in ur career

Cheers
