Additionally, course also included subjects on IT Project Management, Quantitative Modelling and Cryptology, Research Skills and Professional Issues.While at College I competed in World Skills UK Network infrastructure technician regional heat 1 day event which I came in First place, my overall mark was into the top 8 of all people competing. This meant got to compete with the 7 other best marks at a national level in Birmingham which was spread over 3 days of competition. These challenges required a high level of understanding of Cisco troubleshooting and design.
