I was jus like everyone else stuck in a dead end job. I decided this is not the life for me and did something about it. I knew I had a passion for IT and began applying for apprenticeships which was difficult to get into due to my age. Many companies take on apprenticeships that are within a certain age range as the government funds the apprenticeship. I don't know if that's changed now. After not being able to get into an apprenticeship I began saving and started to search online for courses and came across just IT. I went in for an interview and everything sounded well structured so I commenced the blended learning edition of the course. I was able to study and work part time, so this course was very flexible. Once I passed my comptias my career support advisor lee was able to help me work on my cv and went through the mock interview process which I found invaluable. He also introduced me to the recruitment team. I was introduced to Rob. Within due time Rob had forwarded me to a work placements with Kaplan international. I worked with Kaplan for 3 months as an intern which gave me the opportunity to gain a lot of experience. This role gave me an insight of the real world. I truly enjoyed my time there and once the internship had finished I was ready to utitlise the experience I gained to apply for jobs. Fast forward to this present moment I'm now working as a service desk anylst for RIBA. Moral of the story is that hard work pays of. If you give 100 percent you will certainly benefit from this course. You must be eager for successs and the rest falls Into place. The career support advisors are there to push you and ensure you're meeting your objectives. They certainly helped me with there guidance. I'm greatful to Lee, Chika, Farah and Rob for helping me get where I am today.
