Damon Hiscoke
Course: Automotive Engineering
School: Marlborough Boys College
Damon is from a family heavily involved in racing vehicles, so it was a natural progression for him to want to find out more about the automotive industry. Damon is finding the learning great at Trades Academy. A highlight for him has been to learn about calculations and compression ratios so that he can do some work on the family production vehicle at home.
“I enjoy the small class size and being able to ask questions when I get stuck. The class discussions are always interesting, the tutor shares anecdotes and goes into detail with his explanations.” In the future Damon would like an apprenticeship in automotive engineering and he feels that the Trades’ course has given him some a good set of skills to take into the industry.
