Academic requirements needed to become Pilots

Last Saturday, Afterschool's team went to a seminar called How to Become a Pilot, organized by Flyingschool.com.my at Silka Maytower Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. We learned a lot from the seminar as Captain Badrul shared useful information on the tips to become pilots.

The first thing that students must know when it comes to becoming a pilot, is the academic requirements. For your information, the academic requirements needed for local and overseas studies for piloting is different:

Academic requirements for Malaysian studies
