    I plan to further my studies at university and move to Australia to become a Mechanical Design Engineer. I would 100% recommend my course. It has taught me what I need to know to succeed.

    It made sense for me to study in an area where I could work alongside my studies. There is a huge benefit to the HLA because you can study locally, there’s no course fees and you learn about the industry while you’re working. There are so many employment opportunities!
