Gina Evangelista

Certificate of Attainment in Baking and Patisserie Graduate

“I am 54 years old, originally from the Philippines. I came to Fiji in 2012 for a better job opportunity when my husband found a job and was looking for a chance. Inspiring people and the nature of Fiji made me fall in love with the culture, so I decided to do hands-on baking and patisserie with the Department of Tourism, Hospitality, Fashion and Travel at National Training and Productivity Centre. With the desire to do something in life and the right direction by my trainer, I have successfully established a bakery in Ba and the name is GCakes and Sweets Delight.“

Emmanuel Laurence Prasad

House Keeping Graduate 

“Studying housekeeping and accommodation courses at the National Training and Productivity Centre with the Department of Tourism, Hospitality, Fashion, and Travel was a great life support for my career. At first, I was hesitant to try, but my trainer, Mr. Rohit Rinay Prasad, kept me on track every time, and I managed to secure hotel jobs. Due to the COVID-19’s  impact, I had lost my previous job, but the job didn’t leave me; Ratsun Nadi Airport Apartment Hotel gave me a chance to look at my capabilities. I am proud to be a student of NTPC.”

“I did not regret taking up the trade as I had put my trust in that this would be my career and I would be able to complete all the units provided within the welding modules. Considering the job opportunities and my interest in having a career in this sector, I decided to enrol in this program, and I must admit that I have never once regretted my decision to pursue a career in this profession.”

“I was a little anxious when I first started at NTPC, but I got used to it, and the programme helped me a lot to study and map out my future business strategy. The curriculum was really beneficial, since it teaches you to think outside the box, make critical decisions, and continue to thrive in your life. The learning tools offered online were more than enough, and the flexibility to complete the tests and assignments demonstrated the lecturers’ support.”

Certificate in Automotive Electrical and Electronics
Trade Test Certificate in Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronics Class III

“I have always loved cars and my interest continued to develop as I undertook my studies at NTPC. Once I graduated I was able to enter the workforce and continued to excel, gaining more knowledge and experience as I followed my passion. Hybrid Vehicle is currently a craze for the universe, and so it is for Fiji. There is a lot of coverage on Hybrid in the NTPC programmes. I recommend NTPC’s Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronics programme to anyone who wishes to gain training in these areas.”

Trade Test Certificate

“It has been an incredible journey for me, and I am so thankful to NTPC for guiding me to build a successful career. Through NTPC’s guidance and the services they delivered during my studies, I managed to climb the ranks in my career. The Centre has developed many qualified tradespeople for many years. I am grateful to NTPC for helping me reach my potential, which motivates me to do well in my career. Trade jobs are in high demand, but continuing education is essential to stay competitive and learn new techniques and knowledge that will help you in your career. I am planning to study more programmes at NTPC, since the lecturers know your weaknesses as they come with vast experience and, through that, they can polish your skills.”
