Student Name: Wan Yee Sheng
Graduation Course: Professional Degree in Information Technology
Intake: September 2021
From: Kajang, Selangor

Q: What was your favorite subject in the SBIT program?
A: My favorite subject at SBIT was Cybersecurity because I'm really interested in that area.

Q: Are you using the skills you learned at SBIT in your current job?
A: Yes, I am. I'm currently working in a frontend role, dealing with tickets, and troubleshooting problems every day.

Q: Do you think there’s a difference between a Diploma and a Degree?

Q: What’s your most unforgettable memory from your time studying?
A: My most unforgettable memory is going to class with my classmates. Because of the MCO (Movement Control Order), we had more online classes at home. I do feel a bit of regret for not having more time to spend with my classmates.

Q: Now that you’ve graduated, who would you like to thank?
A: First, I’d like to thank my parents for giving me the opportunity to study at SBIT and supporting me all the way. I also want to thank my teachers, Mr. David and Mr. Steven, who taught me so much.

Q: What are your hopes for the future?
A: I hope I can contribute something to society.

My intention is straightforward. I want to learn IT or computer skills so that I can land a good foundation when I go to work in society. I found that no matter what kind of business you do in this technological era, you will need a computer. For example, some small and medium-sized enterprises need to use Servers and Networks. So, I want to apply the computer knowledge I have learned to work to have a professional job position and a stable income in the future.

At first, my parents were worried that I would go to school and sleep every day as I did in secondary school. But after about two (2) weeks, my parents' concerns are unnecessary. Because at SBIT Training Academy, the lecturer made the content of the class very vivid and easy to understand. Therefore, I recommend students looking for a college enroll in the IT courses offered by SBIT Training Academy.

2020 will have a profound impact on most students. During my studies, I faced multiple MCOs. I also have many friends who took classes at other universities or colleges and were forced to suspend their studies when the pandemic hit in 2020. However, SBIT Training Academy can still conduct online classes as usual without delaying the progress of students' courses! At that time, many people asked me how I could take online courses without a PC and course equipment? Do you have to dismantle your PC to practice?

Fortunately, the college has sent all the course equipment to my home at all costs so that I can practice and take classes at home without going out with peace of mind and safety. It kept me safe at home and also allowed me to finish my studies at the same time.

Secondly, whenever I am surfing social media, I find that many people cannot go out due to the MCO, are unemployed, and stay at home. But I am very fortunate that under the implementation of the MCO, I can take this opportunity to learn a lot of skills and IT knowledge and improve myself! Not only that, but under the guidance of my lecturer and the influence of my classmates, I gradually became more certain about my future development goals.

I have encountered the epidemic shortly after I enrolled in the course. The goverment announced the first MCO, which made me worried that I could not complete my studies.

However, SBIT not only didn't affect my studies, but their education method made me truly understand that IT is not about studying ony, but about doing more and learning more. In this way, I can master a lot of IT knowledge and technology. In addition, I feel that I have learned a lot form studying at SBIT. During the MCO, regardless of the problems encountered in the learning of online classes or physical classes, the instructors and classmates were very enthusiastic to help me, especially my instructors Mr.David and Mr.Steven.

I am also very grateful to Dr. Stephen Ong, who encourage me to study during the epidemic, and Terrance and LikMei who helped me find a suitable internship company. Under the recommendation of Terrance and LikMei, I was also directly hired as a long-term employee by Strateq Oil & Gas Sdn.Bhd., allow me able to complete my studies.
