I'm doing an Extended Diploma in Computing (year 12). I recently completed my assignment with over 7,000 words. Now I am preparing for mock exams. I also need to make a huge assignment on computer architecture. My hobby is doing maths in free time, and also programming. Now I’m thinking about whether I should do A level maths; since I really enjoy doing maths. :beard:

Python, but on a basic level. :colondollar:

I would say I’m not ready for the mock, just because I didn't revise that much. :smile:

I admire anyone who knows any form of programming language! It's something I've always wanted to learn but just never got round to it :colondollar:

I'm sure you'll do great in your mocks. When do they start? :smile:

That's fair enough. Cyber security is a great area to get into! Any idea where you'd like to study?

I did work experience in both areas and I came to the realisation that I preferred being in a hospital setting rather than a corporate environment. There's a camaraderie amongst the Radiographers now that I've been on placements across Leeds, it is absolutely enjoyable and there's always a guaranteed job at the end of the course.
