While working at the South Pacific Applied Geo-Science Commission (SOPAC) in 2007 as part of the Tonga Government/European Union Geographical Information System (GIS) internship program, he applied for and was awarded the '''Australian Overseas Development Aid Scholarship (AUSAID ODA) under the open category.''' This scholarship was awarded in 2009 and it supported Etuate with his studies towards a Master of Science in Internet-working at the University of Technology (UTS) in Sydney, Australia. In 2010, he graduated with a '''MSc Internet-working''' from UTS. Not only that he completed his MSc degree but he also applied for a place to further his study towards a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He was awarded a place of study but not a scholarship.

In order to fulfill requirements of his AusAID and NZAID scholarships, Etuate returned to Tonga in August 2010 where he worked as a '''Systems Analyst for the Ministry of Lands, Survey and Natural Resources in Tonga'''. While working in Tonga he applied for and was awarded the '''University of Auckland Doctoral scholarship''' to further his studies towards a '''PhD at the University of Auckland in Auckland, New Zealand'''. He started his PhD journey in 2011 and successfully defended his thesis '''entitled:Active longitudinal measurement in global networks and goodput recovery with network coding over high latency satellite links''' in 2016. In July 2016 he became the '''first Tongan''' to graduate with a '''PhD in Computer Science''' from the '''University of Auckland'''.
