BTEC LEVEL 4 HNC IN COMPUTING
Connor, who studied BTEC Level 4 HNC Computing at Dartford from 2020 to 2021, benefitted immediately from the qualification. Here he tells us more about his career journey so far.
After leaving North Kent College, I started as an IT Support Engineer at Future Schools Trust in Maidstone, I then moved to work at Pitch Partners in West Malling in a similar role. It was here that I was head hunted by Hauser & Wirth in Mayfair, before I was head hunted again into Hotwire Global Communications in London, where I now work as an IT Systems Support Analyst. My role has expanded to include IT projects alongside support, which has been an exciting step in my career.
My career in IT has seen me work in a various sectors such as as Education, TV Production, Art Galleries and now PR and Marketing. I've also been involved in projects both around the UK and abroad in an Art Gallery, called Chillda Leku, in Spain!
Studying computing at North Kent College gave me a strong foundation in IT and problem-solving, which has been invaluable throughout my career. The hands-on approach to learning all aspects of Computing in IT, combined with the supportive teaching staff, helped me develop the technical skills and confidence needed to progress in the industry.
I particularly appreciated the project planning elements of the course, which prepared me well for real-world IT projects and gave me confidence to deal with communication with VIP's within the companies and being an asset to the team.
