  • 2. What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?

    • In this programme I have strengthened my confidence in delivering presentations, public speaking, and developed essential skills that led me to proceed to apply for an Aviation Management degree at university. The work experience introduced me to what it is like to work in a busy airport environment by focusing on how to deliver excellent customer service in different situations.
