CHAN Pak Yui, Floyd
Flight Dispatch Officer, Cathay Pacific Airways
Throughout my two-year study in HDAS, I gained numerous professional knowledge, including Basic Aeronautical Knowledge, Safety Management & Risk Assessment, Human Factors & Performance, and Aircraft Weight & Balance and Dispatch. All of the lectures were delivered by local experts who have worked in the industry for a number of decades. Not only did they explain those theories in detail, but they also shared their valuable work experiences and insights into aviation developments during classes.
Aside from classroom teaching, the programme offered various activities to broaden our horizons locally and globally in the aviation field. To name a few, I attended the Trade Day of the Airshow to enjoy aerobatic performances and talk to key people from leading industrial enterprises like Airbus and Boeing. I also attended international conferences to listen to the latest and future developments in the field. I experienced a Trial Instructional Flight on a Cessna 152. Last but certainly not least, I enrolled in the Internship programme to become a frontline ground handling agent to perform check-in, boarding gate and arrival duties in the airport.
The HDAS programme has equipped me with essential skills and a worldwide perspective on the aviation industry. Even after joining the local flagship carrier, I still find what I learned and experienced in HDAS useful in my career. As a graduate, I have no doubt that HDAS is the right choice to get yourself well-prepared and pave your way to enter this challenging but fascinating industry.

Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management (Senior Entry), The University of Hong Kong
Our education system is hardly a one-fits-all solution for everyone. I remember the moment when I failed in HKDSE, I started to doubt, "Am I suitable for pursuing further academic studies?"
The two-year studies, plus the overseas experience, did more than building up our solid foundations in the aviation industry. As we
studied further, we learnt to be critical and became more mature. Eventually, we were able to develop a mindset which greatly helped us plan for our own future.
Assessment of the programme ranged from flight and airline simulations to internship programmes. We were assessed comprehensively, and critically, which motivated us to keep reviewing and exploring.
Learning is no longer limited to lectures and the given materials. With the scholarships provided by CC, we could participate in overseas programmes to explore the industry with a global vision. We became more competitive and well-equipped when we graduated.

Chui Hei Chit, Max
2019 Year 2, Higher Diploma in Information Technology - Computing and Data Science
After completing my NSC exam in November 2016, I was anxious about my future and my academic path. I returned to Hong Kong in December 2016 and attempted to apply to German universities. However, I got rejected by every university that I applied. Then my parents told me to apply for HKU SPACE CC to see if I could work my way back into a university.
In September 2017, I joined HKU SPACE CC and it marked the start of my tertiary education journey. The lecturers were professional, enthusiastic and down-to-earth; they were always keen to help students who needed extra help. The stream that I chose (Computing and Data Science Stream) gave me an in-depth look into the foundation of Computer Science. The College allowed students to choose the stream that suited their personal interests, ultimately making it easier for further study in university.
Anxious about your future? Don't worry! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The question that you should have in mind is – is it really that difficult? Keep your heads up high and good luck!

2019 Graduate of Higher Diploma in Translation and Interpretation
The two years at HKU SPACE CC not only equipped me with knowledge and skills in the translation field, but also inspired me to explore this area and achieve my full potential further. It has been my stepping stone to my dream to obtain a major in Translation at CUHK. The practical translation and interpreting skills I have learnt from HD (TRA) has honed my abilities and proficiency to handle challenging courses in CUHK now. I am grateful for the opportunity that this programme has offered me.
