Fitriyah Machfud has unlocked the door to better job prospects.
She honed her literacy and numeracy skills in our English, Maths and Digital Skills programme to back an ambition to become an administrator.
Fitriyah, 43, worked as a tax accountant in her home country of Indonesia before immigrating to New Zealand. She turned to Future Skills Academy to enhance her English skills. At the same time, she was working at a sushi restaurant and studying Administration and Technology elsewhere.
All the academy staff were patient and willing to explain things to students, she says. “My teacher Pary was very helpful in supporting my study and work. She supports all students, is a teacher in class and is like a friend outside class.”
Fitriyah says Future Skills Academy gave her a valuable introduction to planning.
“Without my tutor, I couldn't have thought of higher studies."
“Perfecting the art of welding has been one of my main goals.”
“I am so proud and captivated because I got a good job.”
“Within two and a half years, I've been able to completely change industry role.”
“The course I am studying at Future Skills Academy has opened other avenues for me."
"Being able to study in a comfortable setting with others was a wonderful experience."
"I enjoyed studying with others who were in the same roles and sharing my knowledge with them."
"It’s good to finally have a recognised qualification."
"Royal Oak campus is a very lovely place, making me feel right at home."
"I had to turn things around by giving back to the community."
"The teacher was so supportive and always ready to help."
