LMI for All
“My T Level work experience has helped me massively by developing my personal skills even further, and my placement has offered me a job.
“After achieving Distinction in my course I am going onto an Open University course to do Cyber Security.
“In the future, I want to do my master’s and PhD in Cyber Security.”
William
T Level Digital Support Services
“I have been interested in IT since I was younger and wanted to become a games designer.
“My uncle completed an IT course here and recommended the College.
“The teachers and students are very friendly, and everyone helps each other out in class.
“I enjoy the networking side of things; it’s really fun as it shows you how data is sent from one computer to another.
“The course has given me the knowledge and passion to go out into the world and help people with their IT problems.
“In the future, I would like to become an IT support technician. After this course, I am planning to do the T Level in Computing and then progress onto a Level 4 qualification before starting my career.”
Alfie
Level 2 Computing
“I’ve passed all of my units this year, with a pass mark in two, a merit in two and a distinction in two of them.
“In September I’ll be studying T Level Computing course here, and I’m really looking forward to learning in-depth more about the I.T sector and where I can go. I’m quite excited to get to work with industry.
“I’d like to be a game designer in the future, and I hope to do a Level 4 or 5 course after the T Level to help me with this. I’d then progress onto university to do Game Design and get a job through this.
“I’d say that new students shouldn’t overthink the course. There’s a lot of technical ideas presented at the start, but the teachers will help you through it and make it easy to understand.
“My knowledge when I started was very limited but now, I know loads about IT, AI, and data security.”
