Tony Griffiths
Unable to complete his schooling, Tony left without any qualifications. ‘I really didn’t enjoy school and left before I could take any exams. I’ve always been interested in IT, and wanted to learn more so decided to come to College on the Level 1 course. I really like the way the tutors treat you here – you don’t feel embarrassed to ask if you don’t understand something and they give you the freedom and trust you to manage your own workload.’
Tony liked learning about the Powerpoint and Excel packages, but particularly enjoyed the unit that involved the manipulation of images. ‘I found the assignments interesting, and I was over the moon when I found out I’d passed the course with a Distinction.’
In the short term, Tony is returning to the College to study the Level 2 BTEC First Diploma for IT Practitioners (Systems Support). ‘Eventually I’d love to have my own business repairing computers, possibly overseas – I like the idea of living and working abroad. |
