Freelancer web designer benefits from Computeach IT training

19:45 29th January 2009

A freelance web designer has today (January 29th) explained how taking an IT training course with Computeach allowed him to embark on a successful career change.

Stefan Burt found himself repeatedly reliving the same problems which characterise the life of a freelancer, most crucially the unsettling and often destabilising cycle of work and lack of work.

When combined with the fact that his experience of computer programming was minimal, these worrying periods of inactivity between contracts led him to seek support through Computeach.

Mr Burt said: "Being able to train in your own time allows you to take away some of the learning curve before taking on a big project.

"I feel that I've finally made real advances which have helped me not just in my career, but in my personal life as well."

In addition to receiving IT training from a set of experienced professionals, the company's careers department helped Mr Burt overhaul his CV to improve his chances of landing jobs.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development claimed recently that IT training could provide a valuable means of getting back into work.
