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.
