CRAIG
After being made
redundant, I was looking
for a career change. I
always had an interest in
IT so to improve my job
opportunities, I came to
college. I’ve found the
course really interesting
and my college experience
exceeded my expectations.
As a mature student it
was daunting, but the
encouragement from staff
really helped to build my
confidence.
I took part in a work
placement for the Citizens
Advice Bureau, updating
their computer security
system as well as installing
new software. This
was fantastic practical
experience, putting the
course work into a real-life
context. They then offered
me a job.
My plan is to go to
university to study a
degree. Eventually I
would like to emigrate to
Australia and work my way
up within the growing IT
industry.
Craig was
a true team
player in
his time at
college and
brought
heaps of
energy to the
class. As well
as passing the
course Craig
was successful
in achieving a
very difficult
Microsoft
vendor
qualification
during his
HNC year.
