  IT apprentice

  In this role, I was an Apprentice learning about IT and studying for the various exams and diplomas. They were demanding but I keep focused on the task in hand and always did an excellent job. In this role the type of work we have been doing for the diplomas consisted of setting up virtual networks, maintenance, setting up certain software applications such as AVG antivirus, replacing hardware and working out expenditure and logging customer complaints. The exams I have passed have given me an extended knowledge in Windows 7 and Windows XP operating systems. During my apprenticeship I undertook some work on behalf of an international charity - I successfully lead a team of 5 people which resulted in the deployment of two boxes, full of over £100 of equipment for a country going through a disaster.
