Congratulations on completing your studies and pursuing your dream of becoming a pilot! It’s great that you’ve done your research and selected AATA in Senai as your flying school. It’s also commendable that you recognize the importance of pursuing a degree or diploma alongside your pilot training.

Enrolling in AATA and obtaining your CPL license is definitely a crucial step towards your goal. Becoming a pilot requires not only practical flying skills but also a strong educational foundation. A degree or diploma can enhance your knowledge, skills, and overall employability in the aviation industry.

Considering the current job market and the waiting time to secure a job in the airlines, it’s wise to have a backup plan. Pursuing your degree or diploma while waiting for employment is a smart approach. By doing so, you’ll be able to utilize your time effectively and expand your qualifications. This will make you more competitive when the opportunity to join an airline finally arises.

Managing part-time studies alongside your pilot training can be challenging, but with proper planning and time management, it is definitely manageable. Make sure to create a schedule that allows you to balance your flying school commitments, study time, and personal life effectively.

Ultimately, combining your pilot training with part-time studies will provide you with a well-rounded education and increase your chances of success in the aviation industry. It shows dedication, versatility, and a long-term perspective on your career. So, I encourage you to proceed with your enrollment at AATA and continue pursuing your degree alongside your pilot training. Best of luck on your journey to becoming a pilot!

Hi, Ive just completed and received my som results few weeks ago and my longest dresm is to become a pilot. I have been researching flying schools and have decided to enroll into AATA in Senai. However, I do recognise the importance of pursuing a degree or diploma. Ive also done my researched and noticed a lot of flying school graduates are still in a long line of waiting to join an airline and are currently unemployed. My plan was to join AATA first, attain my CPL license, and while waiting to secure a job in the airlines, I can pursue my diploma or degree. Do you think this is advisable or a smart way to go about it? Always open to advice.

Hi Sir,
I’m graduated from Bachelor’s degree of engineer. However, I’m planning to take CPL/IR frozen ATPL course at age of 32. And to be an airline pilot after completed the course. One of the problem that I mainly concern is airline company (such as AirAsia, MAS…) do not hiring pilot who is above 34 years old (Maybe I’m 34 after completed course). Do airline companies set age limit as hiring requirement? Thank you

Agree with you but for someone without any qualification I think any degree or diploma would do because this will unlock every job opportunities that a spm leaver wont be able to apply

Hey man -I was in your shoes before – personally as someone who got rejected from the last cadet intake only for the pandemic to hit – go for data science and information systems – they’re the only ones hiring these days – and you study for 3 years only – if you like challenging yourself and question your sanity every day – go for engineering haha – but above all go study something you like – cuz a degree needs a lot of passion for it.
