Q&A
Student Q&A: Riley Warwick
IT Faculty Student - Web-Based Technologies
Information Technology
Please note: Upskilled no longer offers the course in Web-Based Technologies but the equivalent qualification,
ICT40120 - Certificate IV in Information Technology (Web Development)
is now available for study. To express your interest, contact our team on 1300 009 924.
Riley Warwick studied the
Web-Based Technologies
with Upskilled because he's had an interest in website development since a young age and wanted to undertake a course that could help him develop his skills and specialise in web programming.
Having previously studied courses in
Information, Digital Media and Technlogy (IDMT)
and
programming
, he was keen to deepen his knowledge about web-based technologies, which formed a good foundation for him to successfully complete his course.
In his Q&A, Riley shares his experience with online study, the knowledge he has gained from the course and what IT specialistion he is thinking of pursuing as a career path.
Could you tell us more on why you chose to study Web-Based Technologies?
I have always had an interest in website development. From a young age, I’ve designed websites for friends and family because I enjoy doing it. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that I would like a career in this field.
I chose to study this course as a pathway to studying the
Website Development
diploma. The intention of studying this course was to
provide knowledge about my area of interest
while preparing me for a more challenging course in the future.
You have previously completed qualifications in Information, Digital Media and Technlogy (IDMT) and programming. What made the web-based technologies course different?
I chose the web-based technologies course because I felt it was a way to deepen my knowledge about web-based subjects. Even though I had previously studied IDMT and programming subjects, I felt that there was still more to learn before progressing into the Website Development diploma.
Having done a number of courses now, what IT specialisation are you thinking of pursuing?
Ultimately, I would like to pursue a career in web programming. After completing these courses, I have realised that I prefer web programming compared to web designing, even though I enjoy both.
What skills have you gained or improved on since completing the course?
Since completing the certificate, I have learnt a lot generally about programming and web design. However, the subject I have learnt the most from has been about
how to write a copyright and privacy policy
.
Until studying this subject, I was unaware of how much was involved with copyright agreements. I also found the subject about accessibility for people with special needs to be very useful. As a person with special needs myself, it is something I would like to include in any website I make from now on.
Tell us more about your experience with online study.
Prior to studying with Upskilled, I studied with another provider. I changed to Upskilled because they were offering a course I was unable to complete there. Upskilled have been very helpful and have answered my questions when required.
I believe self-paced, online studying can be challenging so having the right support is essential for a successful outcome
. Overall, I have found online study with Upskilled to be good and supportive without the pressure of regular studies.
How did your trainer support you throughout the course?
I didn’t need to contact my trainer a lot during my course but when I did, he was extremely helpful. When I got my assessments back, the feedback that came with it was
always useful and relevant
.
What aspects of the course did you enjoy and why?
I really enjoyed studying this course because I could complete it in my own time. I have Asperger’s Syndrome so I work best without high pressure situations. Being able to learn at my own pace takes some of that pressure off. I found most of the subject material to be good but felt that some of the video content went on for too long.
Any short-term or long-term goals you want to achieve?
Next year, I intend to study the ICT50615 - Diploma of Website Development. While I’m studying this, I plan to build up my online gaming community with the intention of turning this into a profitable business down the track. I plan on having a shop as a part of this community, which I am currently making.
