I do Double I.T and it is not what I expected at all. I'm very much into the technician side of things, troubleshooting, repairing and replacing. None of this has been done so far. It's all about communicationn, being employable, e-commerce and how a business uses I.T. We are now on to making media products and animations but it's not the most fun you could have. If you want to do a practical course, I'd suggest finding an apprenticeship with a business or training company.
I would be in college but a medical problem has set me back to the end of the week, just incase you're wondering why I'm on here during college hours.
All the best
