Dorolynne Orca - Philippines
Accounting and Finance
Dorolynne was attracted to TAFE NSW’s flexible timetable and wide selection of elective modules.
“I like that TAFE NSW allowed me to study and have a part-time job too,” she said.
Dorolynne, who studied business for one year in the Philippines, chose to try something new and is now studying Accounting and Finance at TAFE NSW – Western Sydney Institute, Blacktown College.
TAFE NSW is the largest education and training provider in Australia and offers over 1,200 practical, work-oriented training courses in over 130 campus locations in Sydney and New South Wales. TAFE NSW – Western Sydney Institute has seven campus locations in Sydney and international students from more than 30 countries.
Blacktown, where Dorolynne studies a few days a week, spreads from the north-western Baulkham Hills district to the beautiful World Heritage Blue Mountains. This area is also incredibly diverse and includes communities from the Philippines, India, Fiji, China, Sri Lanka, and Africa.
Students are taught by highly-qualified and skilled teachers to achieve valuable qualifications with government guaranteed quality. Dorolynne agrees that the teachers are an important part of her experience at TAFE NSW.
“The teachers always explain everything very slowly so we can understand what they’re teaching. My teachers are also extremely patient with me when I don’t understand something.”
Dorolynne’s experience at Blacktown College has been extremely rewarding and she has already recommended TAFE NSW to her cousin, who will begin studying at TAFE NSW in July. “Studying at TAFE NSW is definitely the best choice for students considering an education overseas,” she said. “I know it will be helpful to have a certificate from TAFE when I begin looking for a job.”
Dorolynne plans on staying in Australia and become an accountant after completing her TAFE NSW course.
