In 2010, he graduated with a '''MSc Internet-working''' from UTS and was also awarded the '''Australian Prime Minister's Pacific Award''' for completing his MSc degree with at least a Distinction grade (majority of completed courses were High Distinction). This award enabled Etuate to work in Australia for 3 months where he gained valuable industry experience at R2 Technology (Syscorp PTY) as well as contributing to the resolution of desktop and network related problems for small size businesses. While working in Australia, Etuate applied for a place to study towards a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He was awarded a place of study for the 2011 academic year but there was no support to fund his studies.

As part of agreements on his AusAID and NZAID scholarships, graduates must return to their country of origin to contribute to developments by applying the skills and knowledge they acquired on their studies. In August 2010, Etuate returned to Tonga where he was employed by the Tongan government as '''Systems Analyst for the Ministry of Lands, Survey and Natural Resources'''. While working in Tonga he applied for and was awarded the '''University of Auckland Doctoral scholarship''' under the Pasifika/Pacific category to further his studies towards a '''PhD at the University of Auckland in New Zealand'''. In addition, he also applied for and was awarded the [https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/study/international-students/scholarships-loans-and-funding/country-specific-scholarships-and-funding/tonga/arthington-davy-scholarship.html '''Arthington Davy Scholarship'''] which assisted him with ~~purchasing of~~ experimental equipment required for his research. He started his PhD journey in February 2011 and successfully defended his '''thesis''' '''entitled: [https://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/handle/2292/29689 Active longitudinal measurement in global networks and goodput recovery with network coding over high latency satellite links]''' in 2016. Later that year (July 2016) he became the '''first Tongan''' to graduate with a '''PhD in Computer Science''' from the '''University of Auckland'''.
