Final Grade: Distinction
I started this course with a plan to learn the necessary skills to start my own business. While on this course I acquired a lot of skills, these skills not only help keep my business running smoothly but I can also transfer those skills into anything I do in life, both personally and professionally.
It was during my time on this course that I found my real passion - Graphic Design and Web Development. When I was nearing the end of the course I decided I didn't want to stop the learning and I wanted to develop my skills, even more, so with the help of my course leader I found the course at WIT and I am now loving getting up every single day, going into college and learning new computer skills, and best of all I still have my little business running in the background.
