We the candidates of DCAM Part 66 AML call for DCA Malaysia to review the current AN 1101 Appendix 2 paragraph 1.4 to include amendment of a period from 5 years to 10 years for passing the first module to make up a complete DCAM part-66 AML.

The reasons behind this petition are:-

• Difficulty in booking for examinations due to limited seat available as compared to numbers of candidates pursuing for examinations slot. Situation where examination slot taken up within minutes of `open for booking’ has been prevailing since the beginning of e-exam system.
• Apart from difficulties in booking for exam, there is another restriction imposed to candidates whereby the candidates that failed 3 attempts consecutively will be barred from booking for a year. This restriction is not stipulated in the AN 1101 but imposed by the examination provider.
• Self-study candidates is the most affected by the current e-exam and 5 years validity system, besides the fact that we are the industry workforce that needs to divide our time between work, study and family.
• EASA has been practising 10 years validity period for modules passed, since 2011. Since DCA has been accepting UK AML for conversions which use EASA system. It is a fair request for us to be given the same privileges when pursuing AML using DCA system.

The effective date of the amendment should be from January 2011, since the affected candidates have been pursuing their DCAM Part-66 AML since first day of the implementation of AN 1101.

Herewith we sign this petition for kind consideration from your good office.
