The College offers courses in IT that are a natural progression from ITQ Level 3 that was achieved at a Do IT Centre.

 

 

To gain the knowledge needed for many aspects of Information Technology, and Technology Systems. This will give me the tools to develop my skills in a practical environment.

 

 

 

Bonding with new people and becoming trusted friends with them, you get a kick out of doing well in assignments and getting good grades in exams.

 

 

After the birth of my son it was decided I would remain at home and look after him full-time and mum would return to work. When he reached the age I could leave him at nursery for a few hours per week it gave me a bit of time to fill, this coincided with me finding out about the free computer courses offered by the DO IT Centres, although I had used computers a little but had very little knowledge about them and didn’t know any application properly. I enrolled at the centre with very little confidence and no expectation and found out that I actually enjoyed the study.

 

 

Absolutely yes I would.

 

 

It’s not all about the study and the subjects; it’s having the ability to think at a higher level generally.
