"ECU helped me reach higher; 15,000 feet higher."
"Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be an Airline Pilot. But it's one of those 'dream' jobs that you think is just too hard to reach. The Aviation course at ECU made me realise that it could become a reality. The course was completely geared around getting into the aviation industry - be it on or off the ground. What impressed me most was the fact that I could gain industry approved qualifications and licences while I was working towards a degree! The industry contacts were also a big plus - I graduated with handful of invaluable contacts. It was just what I needed to secure a great job in my dream industry."
