HEART of Worcestershire College’s (HoW College) Level 3 Engineering student, Cory Welsh, has a bright future ahead of him as he successfully completes his Level 5 Certificate in Wireless Network Fundamentals, while completing an internship with telecommunications training experts, Ubi-Tech.
Not only was Cory the first person at Ubi-Tech to successfully achieve this certificate, which is accredited by the Open College Network, he accomplished an impressive 94% in his final exam.
Ubi-Tech, a training company based in Redditch, trains individual employees and business telecommunications.
Cory said: “I attended a series of interviews at Worcester Bosch as part of their junior Internship programme, which HoW College encouraged me to go for.
“I had interviews with four different companies and gave them all a rating on how interested I was in doing work experience with them, likewise they rated me, Ubi-Tech and I were then assigned to each other as we matched best.”
“Having the opportunity to gain work experience within this sector, meeting new people and developing an understanding of telecommunications, in particular wireless network fundamentals, was great.”
To complete this qualification Cory had to complete a number of modules which covered: introduction to the Electro-Magnetic system, wireless networking fundamentals with emphasis on the Air Interface composition, and understanding the TCP/IP model and IP addressing and dBms.
When talking about what his future plans are, Cory said: “I plan to continue my course at HoW College and complete my second year. Ideally, I would then like to go to university to continue my studies in electrical engineering.”
