Counting the list of approved schools, it is a surprise that we have a total of 16. For a small country, the number is rather too high.

When you hear someone mentioned, "malaysian aviation school", what picture do you think will crop up in the majority of the people. My experience showed, it is the school for pilot.

However, that is not what we intent to discuss, we will talking about the maintenance training school under EASA 147. The school is handling training leading to license for aircraft maintenance.

There are 5 training schools at various stage of conversion to EASA 147 school. Prior to January 2010, Malaysian Civil Aviation Department was using BCAR section L. With EASA 147, the licensing system changed.

The following are the approved malaysian aviation school giving courses leading the licenses:

1. MAS - Malaysia Airline is the leading airline in Malaysia and it is providing training for ab-initio training as well as license training. They are approved to conduct courses for B1-1, B2 and A1 courses under EASA (Malaysian) 147. The airline is also an approved examination center for the approved courses.

2. Dilog - Another strong contender, a company formed with the support of MAS. The company is also approved by Malaysian DCA to conduct basic courses for B1-1,B2 and A1 courses plus being an approved examination center.

c. APR Aviation Training Center- The information given shows that the company is in the conversion process from BCAR sectionL to EASA 147.

d. MATA - Malaysian Aviation Training Academy is in the process of changing to EASA147.

A few weeks ago, I came across an advertisement for the Trainee Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. It was by APR. The program is a 4 year intensive training for DCAM part 66 license category B1. It stated that the program comprises of classrooms sessions, workshop practices and hand on practical experiences on operating aircraft.

The prerequisites includes SPM, age between18-25 and physically and mentally fit.
