  • Network Management. (Uncompleted)

 
I was in the middle of this course when I commenced work at VIP. Once I had a job in I.T. I no longer felt I needed to complete the course. I was also having difficulty in arriving in time for the classes due to late finishes at VIP so I ceased going on the course. I now regret doing so and would like to re-sit the course or take a similar course. It was however due to this course that VIP promoted me to Internal Services from Sales.

When I was at school, back in those days, exam results mattered but not like they do today. I left school with very little education behind me. I found work, but had no ambition in life I had no clue what I wanted to do. Until I discovered computers!
