Alvin Karimi

“I had no Automotive Engineering knowledge before joining the course at our VTC. The hands-on training, especially in Mechanical wiring and mechanic in general, gave me the confidence to apply for jobs. I am now working as an Engineer at a local firm, and I owe it all to the supportive instructors and practical learning environment.”
