college (back to)

**Cam** · 13th August 2003

i am 19 now and failed my GCSEs (no jokes plz)

so im thinking of going back to college but studing somthing in IT
lets start from the start

right when i was in year 9

i was asked to make my slections for gcse causes
(back then i wanted to be a chef )

so they make u choose 2 choises and to back up choises

so i chose food and it (but as it was growing back then not every 1 could take it and it was set into alphabetical order my last name begins with a T so im screwed)

so i ended up with food history (my first back up choise) and RS (i did find rs bloody brill)
i went to college after leaving school and took a simple class in IT and maths (the it was an hour lession long had finished in 10 mins) (maths as a peice of piss as well )

so nip forward to 2003 again and i didnt get gcse in IT and got piss poor grades in all of um (but history thats a funny story i'll tell u some other time lol)

but now i wanna sort my life out and get back on track

but i DONT want to take a gcse in IT because it will be this is a spred sheet this is how u use publisher now this is how to save an img (boring) and this is how to download and extract bin and cue files of the l8est film ........

so i wanna go and do sum other stuff harder stuff but im not sure what because while i was at collage they got me a placement with a loacl pc repair so learnt all that shite from them (well its not hard is it)
so i no all the ins and outs of a pc just not "grades (or a bit of paper) to show it
so getting back to now

what can any 1 surest

(oh and u ppl who wanna take the rip cos i know your there about me needing to go back to infant school or n e thing or me being a studant DONT..... )

I was doing double A-level in ICT and an A-level in Design Technology last year but i had to pull out coz i almost died from a life threatening illness.

The ICT course was excellent, the following areas were covered:

Web Design (frontpage)
programming (vb)
multimedia (Illuminatus opus pro)
Accounting (sage line 50)
Databases (Access)
Presentation (powerpoint)
Spreadsheets (excel)

There were more areas covered but i wasn't there for them.

If you already have experience with computing like you said then a course similar to this would be ideal?

i dunno if youve ever thought of uni, but it might be worth considering..

go to college for a year, get a qualification that enables you to go to uni after it(somewhere in an computer science dept, doesn't matter which course u get into), then after uve started uni, change course to a good degree in ur particular area of interest.. i've found that if you're already doing one course, no matter how shit, they will mostly let u transfer with no hassle.

hope this helps.

if not, i hear burger king are hiring

i passed 4 of my gcse's (3xC and 1xB) then went to college doing AVCE in Information Technology for 2 years then walked straight onto a Software Engineering Uni course which i have now changed to Computing Science because i can be more specific on the areas i want to study - as said do a quick 1 year course and then move onto uni

cam, if you need a job to survive you might consider doing a course simlilar to an open university course, i realise that OU may be a little hard but there used to be an open college too i assume that its still running, it could be a solution as it would enable you to study at your own pace whilst still working (and therefore giving you money to exist).
