“The contributions of the lecturers and the teaching and assessment methodologies were invaluable to me, I could use my business start up and development experiences for projects and assessments, which helped me develop my successful business. The discussions on the New Zealand economic environment and business law were particularly valuable. The combination of excellent staff and local industry visits were helpful in learning how to run and manage my business. I now employ AIS students in my dealership.” - Qiyuan Alex Su, Platinum Mobile
