Since I was young, I have always dreamed of becoming a station staff or train captain. By chance, I discovered that MTR Academy offers transport-related diploma programmes for DSE graduates. During my studies, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience as an MTR station assistant. The programme also enabled me to progress to my preferred university degree faster than at other higher education institutions. It fulfilled both my academic goals and personal interests. I highly recommend MTR Academy to anyone who wishes to pursue a career at MTR or a smoother pathway to university.
