Kevin PanterSenior IT Technician

I have recently started a new role at Bedford College as a Senior IT Technician. Previous to this, I had been employed at Shuttleworth College since 2000. I like working at the College as every day presents new challenges and there is a lot of variety within my job role. It also helps that I work with some very friendly and interesting people! Since coming from Shuttleworth, Bedford College has provided me with a stimulating and challenging work environment as the computer network is much larger.


My biggest achievement has been a long but rewarding process. When I started off at Shuttleworth College there were only 30 computers and I was responsible for maintaining and upgrading the network. Fast forward to now and there are not one but six computer suites at Shuttleworth, which are home to 200 computers!


I have recently undertaken some training provided by the College in the new telephone system. I have also done some Microsoft training courses, and am hoping to partake in additional qualifications in the future. Extra training has definitely been beneficial to my job progression, and I would argue that the College definitely facilitates the potential to progress your career.
