Fly Lah!

Hi I am relatively new to this forum and stuff...

But i would like to seek some input regarding on how to become a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer ?

I am a Malaysian and actually went to singapore to study a diploma in aerospace electronic now in singapore polyteching and will be graduating in 6 months time... Initially i planned to try to get an apprentice under SIAEC or STAEC ? Is that an advisable route to take ? the bond is roughly 6-8 years...

what are the possible other good ways to take in Malaysia ? I am not so familiar with the details and difference between DCA and EASA qualification... but is there like a program under Airasia or MAS for this kind of field ? apprenticeship or any sort ? Junior Technician ?

If there is in malaysia, any1 know where i can find more exact details about it especially the process needed to eventually get the licenses ??

Thank you so much in advance

long long long story

Have you not read our postings and discussions here?

Hello vjin17,There are two ways so far that I knew for you to get your LWTR.
One is by the CAA UK.you have to pass all modular exam.for more detail you can check through www.caa.co.uk and click on safety regulation>personnel licensing.
Two is by the DCA Malaysia which is now converted to DCAM Part-66.the way to get ur LWTR is the same as by the CAA.But it is cheaper.

EASA or DCA Part-66; you must satisfy sitting and passing the applicable module examinations then complete the required live aircraft experience before submission and application of license to the regulatory body.
You should know this by now. How you want to do it depends on yourself and how much time and $$$ you have and willing to 'invest'..

for me... if you have money 100k to "invest" then easy...& i may elaborate more ...if not... better you start work in this industry 1st using yr cert then you will know other ways getting license without spending money.. plus you getting paid..

MY ways

There is always two sides of a coin or there are more than one way to 'skin a cat'.. (no idea why anyone would want to do it)

The point is, there is an 'easy way', and 'harder way'.. a shorter path or longer path..
"easy/shorter" way would be enrolling in a TAME course offered by the ATOs.. can be costly but within 3-4 years you should get the Part 66 AML.

The harder/longer (but can be 'easy' on the $$$) is to start from the bottom, ie become a junior tech(at least), work your way up and take the B1/B2 exams part time. No issues with live aircraft experience because you're already working on it!
The only ATO at the moment that is GOING to offer this would be APR- Aviation Training Centre. Checkout their Facebook pages or call/email them with your enquiries.
The good thing with this is that you can plan your time and finance when to sit and finish the modules at your pace...
