Student profiles

 

JudithJudith, FdSc Foundation Degree Business IT & Networking

“I was an Operations and IT manager in a local Housing Association and although I knew a lot about IT I didn’t have a formal qualification. So I decided that by studying the in Business IT & Networking Foundation Degree I could fill in all the gaps and increase my knowledge.”


“I was also particularly interested in the networking side of IT and this course has given me a deeper understanding, and as well as the opportunity to be CISCO qualified, which is a highly respected qualification. The CISCO qualification can open up a lot of doors within networking and only Bedford College and one other college offer this course.”


Richard BiggRichard, PC Maintenance (part-time)

“I am studying for a Computer Science degree at a local University, but I had a year off, so decided to gain some hands-on practical experience working with computer hardware.”


“I’ve done previous courses at the College and the staff have always been informative and helpful. In the future I want to work in the computing industry, ideally within artificial intelligence.”

HelenHelen Bettles-Hill, FdSc IT Networking & Security

“This is my first year of the course and it’s already given me the confidence to apply for a different job. I applied for a role at Volkswagen Group within the Information Systems department. The head of the IT department personally called me to say that because of all the experience and skills which I had gained on the course they would like to offer me a different instead. I couldn’t believe it, I was so pleased.”


“I’m really happy I decided to study at Bedford College, I’ve worked really hard and achieved good results. I thought it would be difficult returning to education after so long, but it wasn’t. The tutors have been really helpful.”
