Introduction
As a fresh graduate in computer technology, getting a chance to enrol myself in the
learning course of computer networking and administration of the University of Bedfordshire.
Computer networking have been my topic of interest since I enrolled myself for graduation in
computer science. The career path was clear for me and it led to the post of network
administrator to one of the most esteemed companies in United Kingdom. After completion of
my training, I started to evaluate my performance based on the course materials and my
performances in the training season. Though the training season covered all the criteria
employers look for in a computer network administrator in UK, still I personally feel that the
program is not complete without individual development process for every students of the
program. I have completed a formal report based on the course work of the University of
Bedfordshire, which I have already attended. The commercial purpose of this report is quite
important, as it will help to validate the efforts of the government of UK to provide up-to-date
training for creating efficient network administrators for the industry.
The basic for any computer network course in any university covers a detailed prospect
of network administration. This involves thorough information related to the different network
modules. Thus, I find it very relevant for industrial and career purposes. However, the lack of
such knowledge and training during graduation programs has been a major issue in UK as the
employers complain about lack of required knowledge among them is a regular issue in UK. This
is the reason; the training programs of different universities are relevant to get a kick-start in the
career. I am doing a self-evolution by going through such a project. In a systematic evolution I
will reveal points like how benefited I am by this project, aspects where I feel the programs are

lagging and plan of action I need for betterment. Plan of action is applicable typically in fields of
education, personality development and career path.
The course work and my overall performance during the training
Course work of the University of Bedfordshire not only covers the technical skillsets of
network administration, it also covered soft skill training and other training processes which
include team mentality test and training and personality development test and training for the
students. The professors and course conductors have devised questionnaire based assessment
tests for participants to analyse their soft skills. The aim of this training is not only to provide
knowledge or technical training to participants. To groom the participants in a way that will help
them kick-start their career very easily. This is reason the course designers included soft skill
development and testing processes in the training program besides technical and practical skills.
Different personality testing questionnaire and processes were utilized like Belbin team-member
selection test, knowledge and competence training, deadline maintenance and project
presentation skills besides report preparation and communicative skills of the participants.
The formal report I have created, about the analysis of the effectiveness of computer
network courses of universities of UK, is a perfect example of my communicative skills. I have
experience of the course work of one university. However, to device a report, which covers all
the aspects of the entire available computer network courses available in almost every university
of UK, is a work of thorough research and analysis. I found the course of university of
Bedfordshire is one of the best in UK. The designers of the course work in this university has
kept the course relevant to the requirements of the employers. I have to clear number of
personality tests to secure good grades besides sound knowledge and technical skills about
computer networking.
