are you sure this school even offers this course? or you just drop by to add points into your number of star points?

How about City of Bristol College in UK? It is also a part 147 institution. The fees is cheaper than AA if Im not mistaken.

Its of no use going to UK or any other countries to study aircraft maintenace...coz its a waste of money...better do it locally but its better off if you get into airlines programme...

If u're in for da money and really wanna study overseas and you think you're capable of being in the above average group...then go for accountancy, a business degree or even law/medicine.. Big companies look for overseas graduates and pay them very very well...

studying aircraft maintenance overseas but in the end still need to obtain DCA's LWTR, might as well invest those cash...
As a matter of fact, the truth is that not many who graduate with a diploma/degree in ac maintenance are doing well...
Its better to get into the airline's sponsorship programme..
wasting 7 years of ur life for a license, might as well be a doctor..

Just through my experience...I hope there wont be anyone regretting...

I think one of the main reason that people are going overseas to study this course is because they wanted to study in a part147 institution which doesn't exists in malaysia. In other words, they can obtain the license faster than doing it locally. Not to mention, not everyone get the opportunity to join a airline sponsored programme.
I have a question here, you said that "not many who graduate with a diploma/degree in ac maintenance are doing well", does this include those who studied this course locally? such as nilai, miat, tafe etc.

After reading so many comments from the sifu here, passion seems to be the main motivation. But I'm kinda wondering if money give you any motivation? Because up until now, I don't believe that money can be taken out of the equation.

Personally, if you want my advice, I'd say go to GA.
What is GA?

You are studying about aircraft, to be exact, maintenance of an aircraft. Study about tools, structures, procedures, safety, laws etc, all of which related to aircraft. Nothing is easy in this world.

I have 1 question here, after I finished my EASA modules from a Part147 organization, I have to work for 2 years to gain experience before I can get my license. Is it true that I must work in a Part145 organization?

I wanna ask some questions to the sifu here. I'm currently doing EASA Part 147 B1 module. Do you guys recommend me to take the B2 standard for exams like module 4 and 5? Because my lecturer told me that I only need to take module 13 to get the B2 after I done my B1 course (with mod 4 and 5 in b2 standard). Any of you recommend me taking both B1 and B2? Or should I just focus on one?

I'm thinking of taking mod 13 and 14 after i got the B1 license as well as a few yrs of experience in the industry. So, what i'm thinking is, at that time, wouldn't my mod 4 and 5 not effective anymore?

So that means my module will be valid as long as my license is valid?

I still couldn't get a clear picture on this. Are you trying to say that if I want to obtain B2 license after I got my B1 license and a few years of experience (say, after more than 5 years from passing the 1st module), I need to retake the exams for module 4 and module 5 even though I've passed it?
