With pending A/L results I joined the Asian Aviation Center in 2011. Although there were many institutions which offered the same degree that I started the BSc (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, the affiliation with the Kingston University London seemed the best for my future.

As a self-starter and a hard worker, first year of study work seemed to me a lot easy. After the successful completion of my first year of study I was sent for an industrial training. This is when I realized my fullest capacity and realized how competitive it is in the industry.

The industrial training built my character and confidence and developed my soft skills, which helped me in my final year presentation work. At Asian Aviation Center I was awarded the Best Student Award in the first and the second years of study in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

Going to the United Kingdom and living on my own was a good experience. Hard work together with determination was the key for my success.I was always a self-starter didn’t think far ahead but took each challenge as it came. I didn’t aim for a first class but always wanted to give my best. I was among the very few students who achieved a first class degree from the engineering students at Kingston University London.

As a fresh graduate from the University, I am currently working as a Graduate Engineer. I would certainly give my very best to achieve the highest level as I have always done so.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (2011-2013)

Batch XXVII

From My child days if there was a dream that I wanted to achieve in my life it was to become an Aircraft Engineer. So I joined AAC in 2011 as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering student immediately after my A/L’s. I can happily say today that Asian Aviation Center was the initial stepping stone for me to get in to achieving my dreams. The main reason I selected AAC is the recommendation I received from ex-students and the recognition it had achieved over the years.

From the first day I started at AAC I learnt a lot, not only from what was on the syllabus, but if we had any doubts or questions that involved our field, the lecturers were kind enough to explain them to us. All these training gave me the ability to grow as a more rounded and capable person. It was icing on the cake for the two great years I had at AAC when I became the Batch Top for the year 2013.

The moments spent with the other students conducting several fun filled and educating activities were unforgettable .I am extremely satisfied with the time I spent at AAC .Thinking about my future it won’t be a road with rose petals obviously there’s a lot more hard work needed as a fresh graduate that steps out to the work place. Time has come now for me to make the maximum use of the knowledge and experience I gained from AAC to achieve my dream of becoming an Aircraft Engineer in a leading Aircraft Company.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (2011-2013)

Batch XXVII

I always wanted a career in the field of Science and Technology. Inspired by my parents’ profession and being fascinated by Aircrafts since childhood, I too choose the field of Aviation after my A/L’s in 2011. Asian Aviation Centre has been well-known for educating enthusiasts who want to begin their career in the field of Aviation. During my A/L’s in school I always wanted to become an engineer to be in a place of control and to take responsibilities. I decided to study Aircraft Maintenance Engineering which I found deeply satisfying. The dedicated hard work placed me Batch Top in the induction program.

With comprehensive study materials and guidance from the most excellent lecture panel I completed the course in 2013 June by winning the award for the Best Student and the award for Best Academic Performance. My time spent at AAC was adventurous and joyous. As soon as I finished my course I was offered on the job training at AAC itself where I currently work on their operating aircrafts.

My future plans as a freshly graduated student is to join an airline after my job training at AAC and excel to prove myself that I can make all my dreams come true. The decision I made in order to choose my career as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer through hard work and perseverance is by far the best decision I’ve made in my life.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (2010-2012)
Batch XXVI

After completing my A/L’s I joined the Asian Aviation Centre to commence my studies to pursue my childhood dream of being in the field of Aviation. The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Course was the initial step taken to this long successful journey. During my studies at AAC I met many others who had the same desire as I did. We enjoyed every moment together and learnt so much from the well experienced lecture panel who shared their knowledge with us abundantly. I took every exam quite seriously as I aimed at doing extremely well at my studies. I was rewarded for that. I won the award for the Best Academic Performance and the Best Student Award in my batch. Now fresh from college I am qualified to apply to any Airline in the world.

All I have to say to all you young ones who are keen on entering the field of Aviation is that , plenty of people will be there to offer advice, but you should listen to your heart first. Confidence is a stain that no one can wipe off. Believe in yourself, figure out what you are capable of and give your best shot to be the best. Aircraft Engineering is a wide subject area but as long as you have the will, I guarantee you; nothing can stop you from getting what you want.
