"Before coming to Australia, I was working with my family in the fields in India. I moved to Adelaide five years ago when my wife came here as a student, and I decided to pursue my passion for the automotive industry. I chose TAFE SA because of its high-quality practical training, which is essential in this fast-evolving field.
One of the things that excites me most about automotive technology is that it is constantly evolving. There are always new updates and innovations and I wanted to gain skills that would allow me to stay ahead in the industry. TAFE SA is far more advanced than many workshops running in the real world, making it the best place to learn.
The teachers at TAFE SA are highly talented and their industry experience makes a huge difference in how we learn. One of the most valuable things I have learned is that if you graduate from TAFE SA, you can work anywhere in the world in the automotive industry.
Currently, I work as a truck driver and spend my weekends at a workshop, gaining even more hands-on experience. Once I finish my studies, I plan to work in the automotive industry full-time.
For international students considering TAFE SA, I highly recommend it. Whatever course you choose, make the most of every minute with your lecturers as they are a goldmine of knowledge!
I have met students from other institutions and after working with them during placements, I realised how much more practical knowledge TAFE SA students have. This experience has proven to me that I made the right choice."
