Mr. Varghese sir, I seconded the motion

Papers without Working experience is USELESS!..Point blank Period!..

This has been asked before:
Can EASA-66 certificate of completion be used to apply/convert to DCAM's AML?
The answer is a definite NO. It is NOT a licence, hence not applicable for acceptance and conversion.

Hello Torx. But isn't the purpose of taking the EASA-66 is to get the EASA licence? So, it shouldn't be bother whether it is used to apply or convert into the DCAM AML? I'm just asking. hehe.

True! But what is being offered by the local institutions that offered EASA-66 training is just the THEORY part. You are left 'hanging' without the proper live aircraft experience which is the mandatory part prior to the issuance of the EASA-66 licence. It is very difficult to gain employment in the industry with just a certificate of completion of EASA-66 syllabus and a diploma in aircraft maintenance which no entity in the aviation industry has endorsed. You are not ready to work 'hands on' and company like MAS has to do a 'bridging' programme (an 8-9 months process)before you are ready to be a 'trainee junior technician' that will add another 2 years before you are deemed ready to work with minimal supervisions. Company like AirAsia has got no time to train you, they need a ready and capable workforce to achieve their goals and make more money! This is where the training institutions has failed.

From my point of view, it is grossly misleading to be offering a diploma in aircraft maintenance PLUS (a half baked) EASA-66 or (DCAM Part 66 for that matter) and yet you are not deem 'acceptable' and competence enough to be offered a job in the industry.
This is the bitter truth.

Thanks for your explanation Torx. So, if I have passed several paper from the EASA Part 66, it still will go down the drain?
