Daniel - Web Development

What inspired you to take a web development course with The Training Room?

I wanted to take a course with The Training Room to get a better knowledge of web development and to start a career as a web developer. I saw this course as a perfect opportunity to do that. The option to pay for it monthly was also really handy. I also didn’t want to do a course at a college and thought that e-learning was the best option for me as it allowed me to get qualified in my own time.

What did you enjoy about the course?

The tutor support was fantastic! My tutor was always willing to help and answer any questions I had – he really helped me every step of the way, I’m so grateful for the support.

Having completed the course, how did you manage to fit it around your personal life?

I found it really easy to fit my studies around my life – I worked full time as a manufacturing technician, but with the course I could study anywhere as long as I had an internet connection! I had a baby part way through my studies which made things a bit trickier! Even having less free time, I picked up little bits here and there and managed to complete the course.

What are you doing now you’ve finished the course?

I actually work at the same place I did before the course – I’ve been promoted to a software developer, but I also do web development bits on the side in a freelance capacity for a company in High-Wycombe. It suits me really well.

What advice would you give anyone thinking about becoming a Web Developer?

If you want to become a Web Developer I would advise you get your qualifications first and complete them in the best way that suits you. I would recommend The Training Room as the qualification you get from them really helps you get your foot in the door, I got my job straight after qualifying – it’s great to know I’ve achieved all of that in my own time.
