Real Stories, Real Success
Here’s what some of our graduates have to say about their experience:
- “I was worried about my ability to cope with the curriculum and whether I’d be physically fit for the job at 57 years old, but those concerns were eased as I progressed. Throughout the course, I appreciated the hands-on experience during job attachments, which prepared me well for real-world scenarios.” – Chik Cheuy Nan, SCTP Therapy Assistant Graduate
- “Initially, I was worried about job prospects as I embarked on this training. However, after engaging in multiple discussions with institute staff and lecturers, their guidance helped me redirect my focus. Instead of fixating on uncertainties about future job opportunities, I channelled my energy into learning and skill development.” – Vanu S/O Subramaniam, SCTP Operating Theatre Assistant Graduate
- “One thing I particularly appreciated about HMI Institute is that before proceeding with your course application, they conduct a course preview. This preview allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the course you are signing up for, including what to expect and the future career path it can lead to. This preparation was incredibly helpful and eased my transition into the program.” – Karina Tan, SCTP Operating Theatre Assistant Graduate
