Help with advise

Hi guys , i would like to ask some advise here,I am currently studying in ngee ann poly 2year , 23 years old .

I went ahead and applied STAA's CPL/IR course prior to that , I didn't had any knowledge if this tiger programme .

I completed the compass test , STAA's interview , awaiting email for them and waiti for clearance from my CLASS 1 and CLASS 2 license.

I don't wanna waste any more time already , no offense , paying for the course is not a problem for me . Further more I don't have a diploma , only 4 o level credits and a higher nitec in marine and offshore technology with 3.92 gpa and certificate of merit.... I am really confused and discouraged by the other threads about STAA's graduatees .
Please advise , I am very keen and passionate on being a pilot as a career

Integrated ATPL? You need a minimum of 1500 hours to get an ATPL. How can they offer such a course, unless it's really just a CPL/IR with ATPL subjects completed (the so called frozen ATPL).

Integrated doesn't mean ATPL, means you get a CPL/IR, and you completed the 14 atpl exams.

As for you Godfred, you should go complete your diploma first, looking at your education history, the airline or air work companies will shoot your resume to shreds when they see you have bad 'o' level results, diploma incompleted, and a ITE diploma with nothing to do with aviation.

Remember end of the day most airline candidates are your typical diploma/degree, 'A' level/degree holder with a stunning testimonial from NS and CCA achievement record.

So far, no, they frown upon such, the airline recruiters use the term "buy-the-paper" for certain diplomas, and some Australian universities.

Unless you went to a government, state, MOE, etc. school, the diploma or degree is as useful as a wing above the critical angle of attack.

But correct me if I'm wrong

Polytechnic ------> private degree
Private diploma----> private degree

Wouldn't it be on par ?

superconst, i called sfc earlier and they mentioned those who were successful in their interview would have gotten a call by now. No call means unsuccessful. Sadly, i'm one of them. Taking it in a positive note, time to reflect where we went wrong etc. Not the end of runway though. Keep the dream alive aviators wannabe

I've just sent my CV to SFC a few day ago. No word from them yet. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt.

They aren't interested in the CV, they are more keen in the sgd$300 fee they charge for the selection process......

Boy boy, it's $300 for the selection fee. But I'm pretty sure some rich man son will cough up 300k to play pilot....

Hi guys. Congratulations to those who were successful for the interview. Did SFC give you guys a start date?

Does anyone know if Tigerair recruits people who already have their CPL/IR for their MPL Programme or do they only want people with minimal flight time?

No idea dude. They seem like they got no preference as stated in their ad on SFC but it's already taken down.

Anyone here who is starting on the course?
