Any updates about the latest information of license conversion? From EASA to DCAM? Meanwhile, is there anyone already completed their logbook / work schedule and get their EASA license while working in SAE? Or any MRO / Airlines in Malaysia? I seriously need some help man, just graduated from EASA part 147 training school.............

Ahhh thankssss someone still replied on this good old forum, I'm a freshman & heading to SAE for 6 months OJT soon, but I have no clue about how to complete the work schedule, will the company provide logbook and task by task for freshman? Or we need to print the work schedule by ourselves? I've just completed all B1.1 13 modules and practical training.. only got EASA Cat A logbook format on my hand, at least have a guide which task should be done, but don't have Cat B1.1 format though..

Rumor has it local MRO / Airline companies didn't wait to recruit fresh EASA students anymore, they just preferable DCAM fresh graduates... =X

Thanks for the reply!

1. I've done my basic training in HAECO / TAECO, no there's no collaboration between TAECO with SAE. I applied by myself, already applied few airlines but no responses at all, since SAE is approved 145 so I'll give it a try, start from 0 once again, now I'm just hoping after 6 months OJT they will absorb me as official employee so I can continue collect my working experience... 2 more years to go to apply my license, but I understand that 2 years is just a minimum working experience requirement, probably need 3~5 years I guess.. after that probably still need SOJT.. and type ratings endorsements...zz

2. Alright~ May I know did you bought Cap741 by yourself?
I got a lot of questions actually.. About those logbook tasks you just simply finish the task and get stamping and signs by engineers? Can Local DCA approved engineers sign the EASA logbook? Or must need EASA license holder only can sign EASA logbook?

Initially I wanna apply Singapore MRO JAMCO but what I got from my senior who currently working there, they told me still have to depends on local engineers, see their face, to decide whether they wanna sign those logbooks or not.. some of my seniors are contract workers (2 years), JAMCO just assigned them to some airlines in Singapore just to work in operation team, major tasks are only cabin refurbishment, can't really complete the work schedule in two years my seniors told me.. so I decided collect working experience in Msia first.. since home is here

3. Noted with thanksss

***That time I was still thinking of converting license from EASA to DCAM once I got the license, DCAM changed the conversion policies last year and I was still half way on my training, there's no way back, I never expected things have escalated that quickly and totally out of my imagination.

What I heard the stories was (not sure if it's true), DCAM said since EASA not allow DCAM convert to EASA license, why must we-DCAM allow EASA convert to DCAM? Ok ok change the rule, no more EASA conversion to DCAM in future! Or maybe just there are too many EASA license holders in Malaysia and already reached a saturated level???

Right now HAECO still have a fixed 4 EASA batches a year, most of the students are Malaysian.. wish them luck..***


I admit that it's abit late for me, I choose to become LAE as my ambition as I really enjoy doing those troubleshooting BITE test stuff~ At the beginning I was thinking of getting EASA would be a better option compared with DCAM if I wish to work overseas someday in future.. at least not like DCAM cannot convert license into international license, correct me if I'm wrong. That time my thought was, instead of getting local license, why not directly get one of the highest requirement license in the world? I've spent 4 years to completed my degree after that only realized becoming a LAE doesn't require degree (kinda blur seriously) so I continue extra 2 years in 147 training organization to continue pursue my dream.. I met some uncle at the age of 32 still on going their EASA basic training in my 147, now I'm already 25, guess not too late. SIGHHHH

Thanks for the replies! Will update with you guys soon!

Wow~ is it possible to get their contact?

Think twice bro, it is not as easy as you think, I had the same thought like you, after finishing my Easa part 147 training only realized this field need a lot of hard work & dedication.. degree isn't really an option if you wanna pursue your LAE dream, I wasted my 4 years just only getting a degree lolz, go for TAME program

Bro, If you insist of becoming LAE, there is no need diploma or degree (refer to previous 1~15x pages you will know the answer), what company care about is your WORKING EXPERIENCE, not DIPLOMA or DEGREE unless you wanna get degree for a backup plan like work in office or management team, if becoming LAE is ONLY your plan, then you should STICK to your plan and don't change it anymore~ the road to become a qualified LAE is tough, start from a tech with low salary, thousands of hours of hard work, work under extreme pressure & high ambient temperature with time limit task, the struggle is real, hustle is also real, & that's what I'm doing.. because ambition is priceless
Go get pure part 147 DCAM class finish all papers & years of working experiences that you required, roughly takes 4~6 years to finally get your license I guess

Latest update, as what I got the newest information from DCAM, for those new LAE comers, now they require at least a DEGREE education level only can become LAE Certifier, you can make your inquiries directly to DCA..
