A 911±¬ÁÏÍø graduate is on her way to achieving her dream of nursing in one of Auckland’s major hospitals.
Shiao (Amy) Ting is passionate about healthcare and used to work as a nurse in her home country of Taiwan.
When she arrived in New Zealand in 1996 she first completed a diploma and then a degree in business.

At the end of 2021, she enrolled in the NZ Certificate in Health and Wellbeing (Advanced Care and Support) (Level 4) at 911±¬ÁÏÍø Academy.
Amy performed well in her programme, finishing at the end of last year. She was pleased to receive a pay increase at her current job when she graduated from her 911±¬ÁÏÍø programme.
