Have you heard of the word, “aviation”? Aviation refers to flying using an aircraft, but it is also associated with the activities and industries related to flight, such as air traffic control.
Aviation is a blooming and enriching industry but more often than not, a career in aviation gets sweep under the rug when people bring up potential career paths for SPM leavers. Unlike medicine or engineering, no one really mentions aviation unless they’re familiar with it. So what happens to those that want to know more?
No worries! Our guide today will help you understand better of the aviation industry and the path it can lead you if you’re interested to further your studies in this field.
Careers in Aviation Industry
Pilots and air stewardess aren’t the only ones working with airplanes.
If you’re interested in aviation, besides other employment opportunities, you also have the chance to work as Licensed and Non-Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Personnel. Likewise, you can also work towards enriching yourself and upgrade your qualifications towards engineering and managerial positions by acquiring other qualifications such as MBA.
Where Should I Go?
If you’re interested in a career path in aviation, consider Allied Aeronautics Training Centre (ALLIED)!
ALLIED is a great choice because they are an approved maintenance training organization, which means they’re 100% compliant with CAAM requirements.
