spm will have to undergo training for for around two years
while bridging usually around 6 month

trainee position in mas is not for those with license
they only take freshies from spm and now they only take Felda worker's children and some staff's children
unless you have a type rating there's no way u can get into mas
if you have an EASA license u can convert ur license at DCA by taking air legislation exams

as for air asia u still need to have experience as an LAE to apply
im not sure with basic license holder as they themselves got their own TAME program

in my opinion the best to start working is to start of from GA company, collect the experience then join Airline if you wish
or else u can always work overseas

i did say u can work overseas
provided the country that u are going to work in recognize EASA license
upon graduation im not sure how is it going on in NUC but if you finished all the easa modules and the OJT requirements
you will get the license

its hard to work in Airlines if you only have the basic license because they have their own training program so they will accept a type rated LAE only, type rating is usually given by the company. As for GA they dont have their own training program so they welcome those with basic license

if im not mistaken, you can take your own type rating from certain training school, i dont have much info on this so better to ask Jazzy on this

im still under training..otw of getting my basic license
about the license after graduation, i think you have to ask weikeat90 on how NUC provide OJT for your workschedule
to get easa license u need to pass all the exam/module and certain years of experience(workschedule).
The exam is provided by NUC but im not sure how u are going to collect the workschedule,
in this case i think its much better to call or email NUC directly to ask about the OJT
look in the first page theres a lot of information there check out the "ELGD"
and the diploma, its not that useful in becoming LAE

georgepang
yup its quite hard to get in the 145 organization unless you have a type rating on certain aircraft
but its not hard at all to get in GA with ur basic license
as far as i know, u have to pass all the examination in 5 years time not sure about the OJT though

im not sure
coz i didnt look around for vacancies coz i dont have any intention to leave mas yet

weikeat90,
so the easa exam is not part of the course is it? u still need to pass the exams on ur own? am i right?
do u mind telling me whats ur plan to get ur license?im just curious

owh, meaning u have to work as a mechanic/junior tech first then become Lae, it seems very similar to Miat's program except Miat is more towards Bcar section L while NUC prepare u for EASA.
anyway, thanks for clarifying

so, to git0926
there's ur answer, u dun get ur license once u graduate, u have to complete the exams and collect the 5 years experience
do check this as well APR TAME Program

Just want to share the Joy with you guys


My newly acquired Aeroplanes 2 License,
Gonna have a great Raya Celebration this year

having a degree is nowhere near becoming a lame,
simply said its just a waste of time and effort
but with that degree you can be a tech service engineer

just a rough figure
u study 5 year for a degree
than another 5 year to become an lae ( 2 years for part 147 program)
roughly almost 7/10 years before u become lae
while u dont actually need a degree to get the license
tech service engineer is considered higher ranking than lame, some sort of
diff is lae do maintenance hands on aircraft
tech service engineer look up aircraft performance, issue drawing, mods, calculation here and there (very much like normal engineer does, knowledge in aeronautical or aerospace is a must)

so if u have a degree, might better just be a tech service engineer
if u want to become lae, having a diploma and start working as a junior technician is enough already
if u have a degree u still have to become junior tech and go through the same process
unless u really2 want to be an LAME

but in another point of view, a degree is not useful to become an lae, but once you're a lae, the degree can help you to climb into management (become superintendant or manager)

the 10 years i meant was getting license via bcar ( cos thats few of friend are doing)
i missed out the part that miat is already 147, but ive edited my post
anyhow it depends on what you want to be,
if u plan to become an lame, ur degree is basically unuseful
but if you become tech service engineer, u'll make full use of ur degree

how long is the miat degree/66 course?
just wanna ask, coz i dunno this part, how does an easa basic license holder becomes a certifying lae?
coz i see a lot of airlines require only type rated lae, and if we talk about ga, most ga in malaysia uses prop engine
i've been thinking about it quite long

falcon16
i forgot the fact that miat is already part 147
so i guess its good to join the program
just check more on how to become a certifying lae from a lwtr license
and share it here

here's one place u can see the question

yup, heard of that too

download this johnmax
http://www.mediafire.com/?t2p93lzc7ympmlq

you cant straight away become lae in MAS if you only have LWTR, in order to get the company approval, there's only two possible way, which is through the training school or through 'mechanic development program(mdp)' which is offered to the junior tech with lwtr.so if u have lwtr, mdp is the only way, im not sure how frequent the mdp is
coz there is a case, student from APR with lwtr applied for the company approval, they pass the approval oral exam, but their license is freezed and cant be issued because they are not using the approved route to get the approval

not that related to the post, but im just sharing

jazzy,
i have a question here,
since DCA is going for EASA syllabus , will CAA UK recognise the EASA license issued by DCA?
meaning can we work in EU using EASA licensed that DCA issue?
and another thing, does DCA recognise modules that we take from british council?
let say if i got airframe license, to convert to easa B1 i need to take few modules for C and E,
can i take the C and E modules at british council and convert to DCA EASA license?
im not sure whether you know the answer or not but im just trying my luck

i still remember during my interview, i didnt prepare anything except for reading the bernoulli theorem
and just before going in the interview room, one of my batchmate showed me what aircraft MAS have and luckily i memorize it coz the interviewer did asked me what a/c Mas have

easa is always better, u can work overseas easily, at the same time u can easily convert to malaysian DCA license. u need 5 years experience for the license, but then if you are IN A PART147 APPROVED TRAINING PROGRAM,the experience will be reduced to 2 years

if you take dca easa 66. it is basically the same process, but the license is only valid in malaysia and maybe only a few other countries

sorry, my bad

actually, your diploma program was meant for you to become junior tech, but you want to become LAE, thats why it is complicated, i dont think there is an easy way for you to become lae unless you enroll on the real lwtr program, most of mas junior technician are Miat graduates, then only some of them will get their own license, its possible to become lae but the route is a bit longer

with the adaptation of easa, it had become worse, now u need 5 years of working experience

IMHO the easier way to obtain the lwtr is to enroll in the apr tame program, http://aeroprecision.com.my/
or METC http://www.dilog.com.my/t1/index.php where you are actually working for your lwtr instead of a diploma

for tech service, you need a degree
