HNC Computing

Today was the first day of my two year HNC course in Computing. I've decided to do this course to gain a formal qualification in IT. This will allow me to apply for a skills assessment, for an Australian visa, without having to go through the lengthy process of RPL (recognition of prior learning). It will also enhance my CV, improving my chances of gaining employment in Australia.

Taking this part-time course is a big commitment as I already work full time (Monday to Friday). The course consists of two days a week, Monday and Wednesday from 6pm to 9.30pm, it also required another 16 hours of study. Luckily all this is off set a little by the fact that my current employer is funding it!
