where have I been?
´I completed my HND Marine Engineering from City of Glasgow College, I joined the Viet Thuan shipping company and worked as a training marine engineer for a year.
´Then I did my STCW(standards of training , Certification and Watchkeeping) courses like fire fighting and fire prevention, elementary first aid, personal survival techniques, etc.
´These training had prepared me physically and mentally to handle the difficult environment while sailing on the ship and STCW courses were a requirement for giving class 4 exam from Glasgow college. which I was not able to complete because of pandemic travel restrictions.
´After the travel restriction got lifted, I planned to complete my degree and explore another field . So, I Applied for Mechanical Engineering and right now I’m trying to pursue my degree from Brighton University.
