What colleges have you attended?

That’s a tough one, I’m assuming college as in the American term. So I’ll start at the beginning…

I first attended college at 17 to study mechanical and electrical engineering at HNC & HND (higher national certificate/degree) this was while I was working for Rolls Royce aerospace like my (bio) father and grandfather. I then went onto a number of other engineering qualifications, paid for by employers over the years to degree standard.

The next courses I did were paid for by a German engineering company called Voss. I studied PMO’s ( performing manufacturing operations ) this is basically a method of showing how to do a job using pictures and words, plus as a cell leader or supervisor I was also expected to do the assessors award so I can then teach PMO’s at an NVQ level.

In my later years I’ve studied subjects at Havard, Georgetown, and a number of other colleges through the EdX online learning platform founded by Harvard and MIT in 2012. I discovered it a year later, while doing ethical reasoning and CS50 (Computer science) via Harvard. I dropped CS50 to do Bioethics at Georgetown instead.

So I’ve studied a lot and I’m going to study some more as it’s fun to learn new things.

About Bob W Christian

I’m Bob Christian; a husband, father, grandfather and cat dad. I’m a dyslexic poet. I am on the Autism Spectrum and I started writing poetry, or scribbles as I’ve always referred to them, to help me to process my thoughts and emotions. It’s also helped with my PTSD. It’s gone from there and after over 20 years is still going strong, I’m now finally dabbling in to photography as I’ve been told I have a good eye.
