Duc Pham (Vietnam)

Studied at PGA IGI and now works for Golf Channel Vietnam

The combined PGA IGI and Bachelor degree programme is very unique and one I learned from greatly during my time of study. I met many PGA professionals, including those at the IGI, who were extremely helpful and made my three years very enjoyable as I studied Golf, Business and Sports Management. Gaining the qualification also gave me a pathway into the PGA Trainee programme, becoming a full vocational member of the PGA of Australia. This has provided me with many opportunities in the golf industry here in Southeast Asia.

He came, he saw … and he came back for more. Mark Bielby enjoyed his first year at TPP so much that he returned for a second year to complete the Diploma in Outdoor Instruction and Guiding.

‘The certificate year was great fun; I absolutely loved it. And coming this far, from the UK, I soon decided it would be better to get a more advanced qualification. The diploma is more in-depth, more challenging, more interesting – and I’m sure it will open up more opportunities.’
