THE WAY TO ENTER AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE WORLD FOR 9M

My target for this post is for foreigners who are interested to enter to Aircraft Maintenance field but don't have further information with current Malaysia's aviation industries. For this post, I mainly will tell about the situation that happen in Malaysia. (As every countries may different criteria about Aircraft Maintenance.) In this post, you may found the post is same with previous post but I changed some academic information to MIAT UniKL as that institution is quite famous with their courses for international students.

Why my title got 9M this short-code? It is because 9M is Malaysia's aircraft register code number...
