why - for ur info, people from MIAT/APR/etc do not hold any DCA license when they graduated
those people only hold diploma/degree but not LWTR, the most important

save cost - MAS would save a lot if those people have LWTR

outsource - because MAS own TAME program still cannot fulfill their requirement
employment rate also low because MAS want people with LWTR not diploma/degree
i never heard anything about MAS signing contract with MIAT to hire their students
can you show me any links

-----------------------------

from my experience
all miat student who enter MAS/AA, they were hired as JUNIOR TECHNICIAN aka aircraft mechanic

i have never found any miat students who graduated and then enter mas as LAE
while in MAS, those guys study on their own and then sit for DCA exam
when they got their LWTR, they'll submit it to the company
after that, the company will put them under MDP, mechanic development program
in MDP, they will go for various courses
and that's basically how people not from MAS TAME become LAE

IMO, u guys are getting wrong info about MIAT
graduating from MIAT don't guarantee you LWTR
but MIAT will help you to go sit for DCA exam
-special tuition on LWTR (don't know still got or not)
-helping u guys preparing work schedule
-negotiate with DCA

-----------------------
correct me if i'm wrong

agree with u
there a few ex-students of miat currently working in eurocopter
the pay is quite good, better than MAS
but, u need to do all the job avionic/mechanical (as a mechanic)
jack of all trade
but they have different engineer for avionic and mechanical

other aviation company that i know
-spirit aerosystem, subang
-ctrm, malacca
-eagle, malacca
-aero composite, malacca
-HM flying school, langkawi
-MFA, malacca
-??? flying school, kelantan
-airfoil, kota damansara
-transmile, subang
-berjaya, subang
-subang general aviation
-SAE (i don't know their latest status)
-GE, subang
-honeywell, subang
-AAR, subang
-1 company in kedah, making components for boeing
-SME, sg buloh

there's a lot of job opportunities for u
but if u guys targetting LAE only, MAS and AA

ONLY MAS n AA hire LAE in malaysia?!?! nvr seen a MIAT grad hired as a LAE in MAS?! 
dis means tat after so many effort, time n money spent in colleges ended up havin a slim chance of being hired as a LAE in malaysia...THATS A BIG WASTE N QUITE A TURN OFF FOR ME
this SUCKS!

btw, tarecore thx 4 the infos bro!

I think you guys have not grasp how the aviation industry and the licensing system works in Malaysia.
Despite numerous account of explanations by those involved, still some of you have this very narrow view of how things are...

I suggest (since reading and discussing bears no fruit) you guys talk to someone from the industry, learning institutions or even the authority.

I'm kinda tired reading and responding to a similar questions over and over again. That goes with the other too, I think.

wat u mean? im jz assumin frm wat tarecore said, since he said LAE are only available in MAS n AA, isnt it vry low employment rate in MALAYSIA? 
frm wat i heard, LWTR exam nid 4 years exp to sit for, so after graduated frm MIAT we still nid to work at MAS/AA to gain exp n work schedules for bout 2years..
bt after gained the LWTR, MAS oni take LAE wif type rating...isnt the employment rate so low in MALAYSIA?! 

im dilemma...zzz

for me, taking LWTR exam need a lot of preparation, commitment, passion and time
it's not like spm
that's why i'm lazy to go for it

so do u hold an easa license??

nope, lol
i'm just a junior tech

EASA is easier
but the cost quite high
around rm350 per exam

DCA is cheaper
but it's very hard to pass

how about u azameel, going for DCA/EASA?

im a tame in mas
so just follow the training school
started off with easa but now doing bcar
going to dca mid or end of this year,
if thing goes to plan, which is always not

i think u should become an lae, u have a lot of knowledge on all this licensing,
imho with experience as a jt, it should be much easier to take the lwtr

men this coutry sucks...well at least the avation industry...to be a Lae i should be in mas or airasia...well mas is out of the question now.... and airasia wants diploma holders from tafe or miat....

tafe=no easa based program and too many indians
miat=well cant tell my problems in this forum cause some people are rather sentive

the coutry needs more LAE in the coming year and even now but there are very limited ways to become a LAE in the first place......
oh god save me from this madness....

TAME, which batch?
good luck with DCA

nilai college has this course.. its under EASA syllabus.. exam all from AST (air service training).. i am 2nd batch students..

So, MAS will take thier Junior Tech to join TAME right?

Cause I heard the LAE is come from this path.
