I will explain to you one by one.
Level 1: To be the selected to proceed to level 2.Meet the requirement set in the application or better. (Colour Blind will test at level 3).
Level 2: To Pass the written Test. English Test and IQ Test.Normal English Test, for thoes who have good english there is no problems with it. e.g. The door is ______. closed, close, closing. Haha Simple?
IQ Test, this is testing your IQ including Maths, English. The writting part is the worst. Asking the question that OMG, 10 questions I able to answer one only... (really) but the rest you try to write something on it as I do cause in aviation although you do not know the answer you have to put a answer for it also. There is chances to get correct.
*In the English test it consist of valves, fuel flow. That time when I 0% knew about the thing, I though is about car simple thing. But after study in aviation, question are some related. But you will not notice is bring from aviation but car. Hehe
Total Time : I forget already, maybe (1hr 15 or 1hr 35minutes for both papers together-2 papers at one time.)
After this you must wait results for the interview. If you does not get it, than sorry you are elaminate from the program.
Level 3 : To Pass the interview sessionWhat I tell is what happen to me at my time 2007. And Im second batch who attached to this program.
Firslty will be a Colour blind test. If you failed than you can direct walk back, no need to proceed for interview. (This happen before for a Chinese student who like aviation but colour blind.) you will be group up in a 10 people group. Than went into a room and start with a test which is to find out ur personality.
Second, There will be a group discussion. It give you limitted time like 40 minutes for 10 of you to discuss and present it. Marks given for cooporative. So make sure you do together and really discuss. So make sure what you think first before speak cause this is also a mind challenge. You will donno what you are talking. Take the initialtive to talk and please speak english that can be understand by people. No Malay language please cause marks is given.
Third, After that you will be oder to choose 2 from the 10 listed on the paper. For my time is, Repair Electronic stuff, Become a Leader, and bla bla bla forget edi. Cause all papers are prohibited to bring out same as aviation examination. Than the interview start. Really they will ask you questions about aviation and the form you fill up. Questions are like :
-What you control to turn the aircraft.
-What is black box. many many more....
-killer question : Why you choose this course. Haha prepare for it lah.
After this you wait for your results to come out. If you get if congrat. If you failed and still like it, so choice, MIAT, Nilai or somewhere...
