I guess I'm guilty of that

Afraid of saying the wrong things as my knowledge in this subject is also quite limited so I thought I could just learn from reading the discussions here. Very informative indeed reading this thread.

Yes I agree with that, and about asking for advice/guides/pointers, I don't know where to start, too many to ask for me especially since I had not even completed my air legislation module yet which is why I decide to stay low for awhile as my knowledge is very limited especially when compared to seniors here like maryjane or you

About the last sentence, should be good work attitude, ability to work in a team and just generally how a person look at problems and solutions?

Hi guys, just dropping by. Currently in my 3rd year in APR, undergoing Module 12 with Terry Chan in KK and just as you said, I'm enjoying it very much. No regrets at all taking rotary wings and it really sparks my interest in heli's. The theory of Flight and all is so much more different than a fixed wing but very, very interesting indeed.

APR recently participated in the education fair in KK over the past 2 days and received more than 80 applicants, tomorrow would be the assessment, wonder how many people would turn up? Many of the applicants are SPM top scorers

Can't beat me, got A in English, Maths, Add Maths and Physics, but got a G for Sejarah

Correction, b1.3 is turbine rotary haha. b1.1 will be taking Mod 11 and 17(propeller) while b1.3 takes mod12, without 11 and 17.

By the way, just saw this on Facebook, this news seriously takes the cake on the problem we have in this industry, which is every 'education' institute is trying to jump on the Aviation bandwagon to earn a quick buck.



Things are getting a little ridiculous now

Thought of popping by here real quick. I went for the APR course in late 2011 and got my DCAM B1.3 license last year, am currently working in the industry now as a LAME and just got my first type rating recently as well. Cheers and good luck to others interested in this field, but all I can say is, it's pretty much crowded here now which wasn't the case when I first started APR in 2011

I don't understand your statement. You're saying in order to sign aircraft for release you need a Degree as well? Doesn't make sense no?

Thanks guys!

Not sure if you're still interested in the field, but here's my 2ct.

Well, I am from APR and there are many people I know personally who obtained their license from APR and are now working in the industry whereas MIAT I heard they just started taking their DCA exams in-house but not too sure of that. I'm not a student of MIAT so i do not want to comment too much on that. Degree/Diploma is not required to be an LAE but it might be useful if you're eyeing for managerial positions. Other than that, maybe some leverage when discussing about salary? But in terms of an LAE's responsibilities and job scope, diploma/degree is not required, just the license.

I took nearly 6 years to obtain my license due to multiple factors including failing and retaking certain exams multiple times, and the fact that APR was not approved to conduct examinations yet until I was about to enter my 3rd year, and also assessment waiting times. But I do know certain people who did accomplish everything within the 4 year schedule but you must be really hardworking. I also know quite a number who just gave up halfway and are in other fields now.

All I can say is, do your research properly, plan your finances(APR ain't cheap) and all the best

In APR retaking exam for internal(4 year course) and external students different. Not too sure for external student retake fee, but internal at my time was RM100 and for essay is RM50 only. Not too sure now how also after the recent announcement. Not sure if it will affect other 147 exam fees or not.
