week 1

Professional practice seems more likely designed for students who want to run their own workshops in the future, which is simply the reason why I have chosen this course instead of body system. Since it is an industry based course, we will be required to go to a workshop to observe how it is managed. In my opinion, this is more practical than theoretic, which is just the way I like it. Because I believe the combination of theory and practice is the best way to achieve leaning purpose and also is fun.

It is always interesting to hear the stories that really inspire people. It always gives us hope. I don’t know how hard it is for a gifted or a high-intelligent person to accomplish success or even pass this degree. For most of us, we are just common person; we are struggling in the ways of achieving success. At least I know it is hard for me. Since I decided to take this BAT degree, I have to study very hard. Without any background of knowledge in automotive and also english is not my first language, things are really a challenge. But I do enjoy them and even fail after hard trying, I think it is acceptable.

To help me understand the theory, I have worked as an apprentice in different workshops, such as a BMW dealership or just small to medium sized workshops. They are so different in the ways of managing and doing things. I hope I can learn this course at a different angle. Since I have been doing technology project with Tony, I will choose his workshop as a target.
