Engineering Cadet Ak Nor Hazman bin Pg Hj Abd Hamid has been
nominated as Warsash Maritime Centre's (WMC) Best Engineer Cadet
NVQ Portfolio, according to a press release issued by BSP.
The press release said for his
outstanding performance as the best among a batch of 36 other
Engineering Cadets, the BST-sponsored Bruneian who hails from
Kampung Serasa Muara will be honoured at the Marine Society
Awards to be held in London on 4 June 2003.
Ak Nor Hazman, 22, has produced
an excellent portfolio for his final college phase at WMC where
he will graduate in August with a NVQ3 qualification. He will
join the graduation ceremony in Brunei in September.
He was offered an Engineering
Cadet sponsorship by BST in May 2000 for 3 years to earn the
NVQ3 or the National Vocational Qualification Level 3 as an
Engineer Cadet. This young Bruneian is among the first
school-leavers to qualify for this sponsorship programme.
The NVQ is the work related
equivalent to either the GNVQ or the new Vocational Certificate
in Education that is a highly recognised qualification in United
Kingdom and around the world.
Ak Nor Hazman did both his O
levels and A levels at the Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science
College, one of the most prestigious secondary educational
institution in Brunei attended by those who excelled in their
PCE.
He has come a long way to
become the latest product of BST's Bruneianisation programme
under which the BSP joint-venture company hopes to see its ships
sailing fully crewed by Bruneians.
With the excellent academic
performance, he is all set to take to the high seas and hone his
competence at becoming a full-fledged engineer in charge of
running ocean-going vessels.
As ship engineer, he will hold
various responsibilities that cover engine operations, repairs
and servicing including electrical maintenance and certain work
involving chemical analysis.
The Warsash Maritime Centre (WMC)
where Ak Nor Hazman had studied for the past three years offers
a full Engineering Cadet programme leading to NVQ Level 3, which
will allow cadets to undergo further qualifying training with
shipping companies on the high seas to ultimately become Chief
Engineer Officers.
He and other cadets at WMC
undergo their training according to an academic and workshop
syllabus that covers a range of technical and management topics
that also includes practical skills.
