Hi, my name is Jamie Senior I am a returning student who has successfully completed the previous course (BTEC Level 2.) Throughout the 2 years that I will be spending at college I will be posting frequent updates from my experiences at Northampton college upon studying this course, which I hope will give some insight to what this course entails and hoping that those who wish to study this course will gain a large interest to study in this area of work.

Monday - Induction day
Today was an induction day to settle the students into their groups, we have been shown what units we will be studying for the next 2 years and the units we will be studying throughout the first year. From being a student from last year, the induction was nothing new the usual health and safety regulations etc. We have been given our timetables so we have an idea of what units and what teachers we are going to have for the next couple of months, we don't start our course fully until next Monday 19/09/2011. Upon having our introduction today the level 3 course differs majorly then the previous year, the workload is more demanding and the deadlines for handing in work has become more strict. Our tutor explained to us to what we will roughly be doing this year, for example we will be building networks, breaking them and then finding a remedy and diagnosis for the problem involved. There will be plenty of work regarding software and hardware, everything will be in alot more detail than what the previous year consisted of. The next 2 years may prove to be both demanding and challenging, however this course will enable us to gain an A level or A levels which is a step up towards going to university. I will be keeping an update on what I am being taught frequently as progress throughout the course.
