George Wong
Coming to New Zealand from Hong Kong, George completed his
secondary schools studies at Opihi College and wanted to stay on in
Timaru, New Zealand. He enrolled in Aoraki Polytechnic's Diploma in
Information Systems Development (ISD). He is now well on his way to
a Degree at CPIT.
"I left school and went straight to Aoraki Polytechnic; it's so
great to have a local tertiary education provider which meant I
could stay local. I really liked the practical way of
learning and the support you get from the tutors at Aoraki, we even
got to go out into industry on work experience. I don't believe I
would have made it through to the bachelor level if I didn't
complete my Diploma with Aoraki first. Not only was my Diploma
recognised as the first year of my CPIT degree but the support and
one-on-one teaching you get at Aoraki set me up with the knowledge
and study skills I needed to get me through."
I'm look forward to getting my degree finished and
starting my career!
