From Osaka to Perth - Ayano’s programming her path into IT

I’m Ayano Sasakido from Japan. Before coming to Perth, I worked as a web designer for three years in Osaka, Japan.

What course are you studying, and at which TAFE campus?

I’m studying the ICT40120 Certificate IV in Information Technology [Programming] currently and will start the ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology [Advanced Programming] from next semester. My teachers are supportive, and I enjoy the hands-on practical aspect of my course.

How have you found the facilities on your campus so far? 

The facilities are clean and well equipped. I’m enjoying my classes because there is a lot of hands-on practice.

What career path are you planning to pursue after completing your studies at TAFE?

After completing my studies, I would like to work here in an IT related job.

How long have you been living in Perth?

It has been one year since I came to Perth. I love nature, so I often visit the beach and have a picnic at the park during summer.

Do you have any advice for students who are considering studying a course similar to yours at TAFE?

If I were to offer any advice, I would say that preparation and review of classes is important.
I would recommend TAFE to my friends because the college staff and lecturers are supportive if you are struggling with anything and need assistance.
