KB's Elney makes waves in Hartpool

Elney Julkeply (pic above) has travelled from his home in Kuala Belait in Brunei to join a Higher National Diploma in Manufacturing. Elney, who is 24, came to Hartlepool in October 2007 to join the course, as it is not available in Brunei. He is pleased that he made the decision to join Hartlepool College of Further Education where, he says, his tutors are very supportive and the facilities in the Centre for Offshore and High Value Engineering are excellent.

When he is at home, he works for PTAS-Inspection & Testing Services who supplies integrity assurances services to the operators of oil and gas mining, refining and processing plants throughout Asian/Pacific region.

He misses his family (he has two brothers and a sister at home) and his car. However, he really enjoys his course and his ambition is to gain his Higher National Diploma qualification and then to study for a degree in metallurgy.
