School Update – 3 Days Left!

Final exam… COMPLETE!

So, I ended up being way, way ahead of schedule, and finished the pre-exam 5 minutes in, and the instructor set me up for the final.

No, it’s not a diploma, not by any stretch, and there was no ceremony, but this program ran the gamut from very basic computer tasks, apps like Excel, Access, etc., up to some cybersecurity and network/programming stuff. Hell, I even built a computer, which is something I had never tried before.

I learned quite a bit, and there is not another course until April. However, they are running a different course in March, and said if I want to come in and work on my own stuff while they’re doing that, I can. I said why the hell not, so starting next week, I am going to start on an MS Pro course that they have available.

As a bonus, this program I just wrapped is fairly new, and they said I am the first one to complete it, so I felt kind of proud I must admit.

I also got to chat with an HR executive from a local business that helps fund the course, and I may look to see what they have for jobs. The instructors are pretty tight with him and his company, and he said if I apply, make sure I tell them, so they can tell him.

So, while it isn’t a degree or anything, I still consider it an accomplishment. I learned some new things, and that is never a poor decision.

To everyone that read along and wished me well, you have my sincerest gratitude. I truly means a ton to me. ๐Ÿ™

  6. Well done you!
    Honestly, I have a university degree in electrical engineering and while I did work in that field for a while, technology has developed so much. I wonโ€™t say it is irrelevant what I learned, but outdated, for sure. These type of courses can actually be much more valuable for companies.
    So, keep on going. Itโ€™s awesome! ๐Ÿ’ช

    1. Thank you, Andrea! The speed at which tech is developing, I think we could all make careers out of going to school. ๐Ÿ˜„
      I figure I might as well keep going as long as they’re willing to have me lol

    1. Yes, it was a mock up, but went through all the steps, hooked everything up, etc., and then built some components virtually during the exam as well.
      The exam was 12 questions, but they crammed about 50 different things into each question. lol

        Thatโ€™s still really awesome that you built a computer. Iโ€™m in awe.

      2. It’s actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Perhaps one of these days I will actually try building one of my own. Or take an old one and try modding it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

  9. Yay congrats! Iโ€™m so shoot for you! It seems like everything went smoothly for you! Was it hard building a computer? I remember watching my dad build a computer in the late 90s and had no idea what he was doing lol

    1. Smoothly might be a bit of an understatement lol
      It wasn’t terrible, but the second half was a challenge.
      It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be once I started doing it. I got better through sheer repetition basically lol
