Further Education

Have not been to school (Primary, High, TAFE) in a learning capacity for quite some time. Finished Primary School in 1968, finished High School in 1974, finished TAFE in 1978 or 1979, did a 2 x weekend course around late 1980's, that is it for formal education. 

The rest has been life experience education, the stuff we should all pick up from families, friends, co-workers, bosses, fellow human beings (also pet animals - we are smarter but should look to them for our base moves and desires).

In this time of Virus, NSW TAFE decided to offer some free courses to keep the proles occupied, I decided to take up the challenge and have just completed:-

Statement of Attainment in Excel Spreadsheets (I did suggest that TAFE should refer to the software as Spreadsheets - not Excel - as that is a proprietary name). Have managed to get a pass in that one, yet to be given the kudos but will soon. Strange thing is the time allowed to do the course. It was advised that the course was of a 12 week duration, I managed to carry out all the scheduled lessons and tests in a one week period. I think this pissed of some in TAFE as results have been slow in arrival.

Am just about to start another course - Statement of Attainment in Build your digital literacy with coding.

Have always had an interest in computers and programmes, has to self learn over the years whilst in business and that can be a good and dangerous thing.

It is almost 9am on 8/5/20 and about to start the first lesson, will keep progress posted.
