Last week a team from my school went for a working visit to Kolej Yayasan Melaka or KYM in short. There were 5 of us, and the trip from Kuala Lumpur was about 2 hours.
KYM is situated in the historic state of Malacca, offering diplomas and partnership degrees in multiple disciplines. Early this year the college embarked on a new vocational offering, the training in aircraft maintenance discipline, enabling the students to qualify for EASA aircraft maintenance license under part 66 rules. However, the college was and is not ready to meet the requirements of EASA.
EASA stands for the European Aviation Safety Agency, a ruling body the control the civil aviation in Europe. It set the standards and certify organisations according to the set of rules. The rule of part 147 control and certify organisation to become a maintenance training organisation. An approved 147 company is allowed to trained and examine students to the standard dictated by the EASA or the local authority. In Malaysia, the authority is DCAM.
My School is approved by DCAM under BCAR section L. We are moving to become 147 approved. As we are in better position compared to KYM, we are in position to help them
