The programme combined solid theoretical knowledge with extensive hands-on training in aircraft systems, engines and avionics. Practical sessions at approved organisations, including HAECO, gave me real industry exposure and valuable working experience. The instructors were experienced professionals who shared useful insights from the aviation field. This two-year course not only strengthened my technical skills but also built my confidence and discipline, laying a strong foundation for a career in the aircraft maintenance industry.

After graduating from secondary school, I worked for several years before discovering the surveying programmes offered by IVE. Through the Diploma of Foundation Studies pathway, I progressed to the Higher Diploma in Geospatial Science and Land Surveying, which became an important stepping stone in my academic and career development.
The programme equipped me with solid knowledge and practical skills in land surveying and geospatial science. Through classroom learning, laboratory work, and project-based training, I developed stronger technical, analytical, and problem-solving abilities while gaining a deeper understanding of real-world surveying applications.
Beyond academics, participation in extracurricular activities helped enhance my communication and teamwork skills. After graduation, I successfully articulated to Year 3 of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Green Engineering and Sustainability. Looking back, IVE provided me with valuable opportunities, a clear direction for further studies, and a strong foundation for my future career in the surveying profession.
