I began the Victoria School of Business and Technology Web Designer Certificate Program and 6 month Web Designer Internship in the spring of 2002. I started with absolutely no web design skills and medium computer skills.
After my courses I had developed web design knowledge and graphic design skills but it was the Internship that really made the difference. Working right in the office along side people who have been in the business for years was where I gained the most valuable training. The answers to all of my problems and obstacles took one question to a guy beside or behind me.
After completing my 6 month Web Design Internship I had the knowledge and skill to either get a job in the field or start my own business but I decided to take my training to the next level and enrolled in the Web Application Programming Certificate Program and 6 month Programming Internship. After 3 months of courses I began my Programming Internship, working under the instruction of a programmer with 20 years of experience in the industry. Once again anything I needed to know was one question away. By the end of Internship I had learned enough through the training and my own hard work to be offered a job as a web application programmer and Designer with northStudio.com Inc. I still work here now.
