Access to H.E Diploma
I have just started college.
At the ripe old age of nearly forty, I have decided to change my life ! hopefully for the better. At the end of febuary we got laid off from work as there was not alot left and a big recession was looming. I went to the college at Doncaster and decided to enrol on a diploma course in Creative Arts.
After doing a couple of tests in the june I recieved a letter asking me to enrol on the 7th of september to start my learning curve in the world of multimedia and web design. I have only limited experience in the www. world, so hopefully will gain more experience and share my experiences with everybody who is interested in doing the 
Access to H.E course
The First Day
Was quite a steady day as we all spent are time filling in forms and getting to know what courses we would be taking and who was who, what funding was available, the creche services, travel funding as well as all the support you could ever need with very helpful people, which made for quite a nice day.
The Second Day
Was filling in more forms and sorting out all the paper work you need for enrolment. We got to meet the teachers who was going to teach us different courses. This is a list of the courses you will be taking.
- Written Presentation
- Reading and note making
- Research Skills
- Personal Development
- Oral Presentation
- Structured Programming
- Components of a Computer System
- Multimedia Design
- Spreadsheet Methods
- Database Development
- Web Page Design and Production
- Information Systems
- Communication Key Skills
- Number Key Skills
And also a Tutorial session with the tutors on a personnel level to see how you are coping with the course and any worries or problems that you might have.
Induction Day
We arrived a little later and all went into a big hall and waited with lots of people to enrol, which took along time and after that it was about the end of the day for us (The days aren’t long days). A couple of last year students came in to talk to everybody about the course. Its alot of work by the sound of it, writing reports and abit more writing and maybe some more !! but the guy said it was one of the best years of his life. So hopefully it should be good as the people on the course all seem to be alright and nobody is to full of them selves….
