Hi Emir, I tried replying to your PM but your inbox was full. As others have said, I think what SIA is looking for is interest and passion. I don’t have any background in aviation or engineering, instead my background is in finance.
As for the timeline, I applied back in May/June, and only gotten a reply in September. So if you have just applied, give them some time to get back to you. In the meantime, just do as much preparation as you may not know when they could get back to you! All the best!
