30 Kenneth, Philippines (2015 scholarship recipient) Information Technology I chose to study at Sydney TAFE not just because of the building designs, it s about the education program they provide to students. Sydney TAFE provides an education system which is more focus on hands-on skills rather than theory, and the best part is that it doesn t matter what marks you get from your class as long as you re deemed Competent by your instructor you will pass. It lessens the competition between classmates, rather it gives them the urge to help each other so everybody could pass. 28
