Client Stories: Lindrick’s Educate to Migrate Experience

Brad had the opportunity to have a chat with one of Entrepreneur Education’s Tiling students and PTA client, Lindrick, to find out what it’s been like as an international student in Aus. 

About his PTA journey: 

I came to Pathway to Australia because I have one of my friends that went to PTA and he did recommend to me [the] different options to study. I was interested in studying the trades, Wall and Floor Tiling, so that’s how I knew about Pathway to Australia. 

What he really enjoys and loves about studying in Entrepreneur Education: 

What I like is the fact that it’s full of international students, but the school and the teachers make everyone feel comfortable. They’re always very available and very free to answer questions and make us feel like we are home even though we’re foreigners. 

What I like most about the school is the flexibility. In the end, everyone feels like they have the same chance and opportunity which I really love.   

What his plans after study:

I would like to stay in Australia and to use the skills that I’m learning now and my tiling experience to maybe work in the industry for a few more years as an employee. Then maybe at some stage, [I’ll be] having my own company and doing my own business in tiling.
