Although I have been involved in IT in some form or another for over 30 years (I wrote my first software in assembler long before I was 10), or professionally for more that 20, I did this without any qualifications in the subject.

Starting in 2004 therefore, I decided to undertaken a catchup program and get the qualifications that would be backup my extensive experience in military, public-sector and corporate IT and software development. Have restrictive time, I enrolled on a part-time HNC (Higher National Certificate) course in IT at Mid-Kent College at Horstead.

This set of documents relate to my time undertaking first the HNC and then HND courses with the college.
