I joined Designaweb at the age of 18 after completing my BTEC National Diploma in IT at West Suffolk College. Overall I achieved two distinctions and a merit. Some of the classes included object-oriented programming (Specifically Java), Website Design, Advanced Database Skills and principles of computer networks.
