How he mentors

Every file is read by him, not a coordinator.

You already have the engineering. His work is the gap between what you have done and how a professional review panel needs to read it.

1

He runs your cohort session

A two-hour group session: he reads your careers against the standard and helps each of you choose the institution your evidence fits best.

3

He marks three gates by hand

Your professional template, your institution report and your interview papers, before anything is submitted.

1

He rehearses your interview

A full mock interview, so you hear the hard questions from him before you hear them from the panel.

His mentees

In their words.

More than 300 engineers over seven years. A few of them, on what it took.

Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it, most important help others to achieve their dream.
Ir. Ts Anizan AliCEng MIET MIEM MBoT
There are lots of career pathways you can take to become a successful engineer. Those pathways don’t have to be linear, making it possible to direct your career in the direction you want it to go.
Ir. Ts. Mohd Nasrull Abdol RahmanCEng MIET MIEM MBoT
Getting CEng means we are recognised internationally with regards to our engineering professionalism and capability. It also opens a world of opportunities of getting overseas jobs that pays very well. Locally, it empowers you to give accreditation or approval authority for other people’s works.
