I had been in Perth for a year as working holiday and loved living in Perth. In that time, I heard that TAFE provides high level of education and practical courses that I need for my career. So I decided to study here.

When I came to Australia to live I didn’t have strong English skills so I couldn’t speak well and I couldn’t understand anyone. I worked in a café as a barista. I watched the chef in the kitchen and he was happy to show me how a kitchen worked. It was from then that I really found my love for the kitchen.

TAFE is cheaper than university and provides more practical work than university. I feel more confident and ready to work than learning just theory and having no practice. Also, I feel that there is more contact and support from lecturers at TAFE. There is also a lot to learn from each assignment we work on. We go on site visits and are allowed to be creative and produce functional designs.

The best thing about my course is the hands on training and also the modern facilities and equipment. I really felt I received a high quality engineering education from TAFE. I gained new practical skills and not only theory-based learning. TAFE provides a globally accredited education that assists students to harness their skills and potential to be job ready in the future.
