not that i'm aware of.

as far as i'm concerned, lecturers of any kind, IPTA or IPTS, dont need to go some special training colleges just to become a lecturer.

as for ur cousin, she can start by getting a degree.

Depending which area you wanna venture in. e.g. you wanna be E&E lecturer, obviously take up any certs related to it.
But then one thing for sure, in edu line, things move pretty slow because you need to obtain the appropriate qualification to teach at colleges and unis. by the time your friends are all done with their studies, working and earning quite okie, you are still struggling to get at least a masters. however, with patience, eventually you'll be earning not bad too later. Im doing my masters now because I wanna go into the teaching line as well.

WHAT A BOARING JOB....

yes, being a lecturer here is good. i think msian still lack of academicians. either in private or local uni, is a good prospective.

of course ada future. Can make quite a lot of money as well.

boaring ? (boaring or boring ?)
It's actually not as long as you have the passion in teaching.

U just study hard and get a good result ok.

How about lecturing at monash sunway or nottingham? my cousin got an offer as lecturer (about to complete her phd soon from singapore's nus), monthly pay about RM7k net. She think the money is not that fantastic but she is in it for the future, as in the experience clocked with monash or nottingham will be useful for future career advancement.

i told her better stay in singapore and lecture in polytechnic, will earn at least S$5k per month. well, its her future though... any lecturers from monash or nottingham wanna comment on the work environment there? politics? etc etc...

of course...my lecturer change cars every few months. each time changing to a much expensive car

.. not bad..like dat i also wanna work as lecturer d..your cousin in monash or nottingham to get 7k?

got shortcut to get masters in science also..1 yr only..my boss interviewing candidate for scientist then quite a few applicant got their degree and masters very fast...23 yrs old got masters in science d with some kind of private university or college..but not sure which...

But to move the ladder, one would need to build up research publications. Which is what good uni trains phd students to do, and is what monash looks for cos they started to be research intensive 2 yrs ago.

i dont really mind what kind of lecturer i am as long as get a lot of money... need to be lecturer then only can get a lot of publications unless u work as phd student for many many yrs...

Er...i think no link between being a lecturer and being able to get lots of publications. Rather, to become a lecturer (or assistant professor in usa context) in good university, u need lots of publication. And a good lecturer should have lots of publications.... it rhymes

If u r talking about a couple of thousands, yes...but not more than that.

owh u'll be surprised...

i want to be surprised. How much?? Eh suddenly after reading this thread. Im beginning to get more interested in Lecturing. Teach ME

lecturers income does not come from salary alone. u think with RM5-7k salary u can afford a bungalow, several big cars and all the luxuries?

(and no, i'm not talking about anything illegal )

if u look at lecturers' salaries, u wont find anything special. but what u should ask them is their income tax. then u'll realize how much the lecturers REALLY earns.
