Barry studied the AVCE in ICT for 2 years full-time at the Downpatrick Campus. He then went on to study the HNC in ICT on part-time basis and is now partner is his own IT business.
“Having been both a student and an employee of the College, I gained the theory and hands-on approach needed to start up my own technology solutions company. It is important to get qualifications and relevant experience before starting up a business, as it can be a very daunting task.
Through the AVCE and HNC in Information Technology studies at the College I was given both the theory and practical experience which I feel is not always available in schools. My company provides IT managing services for small and medium sized businesses throughout Northern Ireland.”
