1. LEARNERS FEEDBACK-2011
Mason Cordon
After school I joined college of Kuilsriver
& Studied I.T FET 2, 3, 4. Then I got
involved with hip-hip dance, boxing,
soccer, fitness and I fixed
computers from the house. After
about 6 months of unemployment I
got a job, where I helped a self
employed sales man with his bed,
mattresses, lounge suites,
headboard deliveries.
I found On The Ball Computers via the
web. I,ve been on the End User
Program between 7-9 months. The
programme gave me an inside
scope, I learned a lot about how to
manage a project, maintain and
assist team members as well as
keeping the stakeholders in mind.
I am not currently working in the field. I
have a lot of plans but firstly work as
a project manager to get the idea in
the workplace, in the meantime I’ll
be fixing computers from home and
assist customers with desktop

things.

still studying at On The Ball
Computers, busy doing my level 5

I plan to study more and search for a job

Adeeb Laatoe
I matriculated in 2009 and did a similar
course at CPUT in 2010 but was
unsuccessful . This unfortunate
failure did not stop me as this was
what I was passionate about and
what I really wanted to do and I
came across OTBC and enrolled as
a full time student again for the
National Diploma Technical Support.
I asked around for a good IT College and
came across OTBC by word of mouth
and was very impressed with its
methods and the programs offered. I
was in this programs as a full time
student for 1 year in 2011.
I have a better view of the field and also
gained a lot of experience during this
year. I have learned not only the
theory but also practical's in I.T .I also
attended internships at organizations.
I have been accepted for the NQF level 5
for 2012 and intend to do the best I
can and also to deliver good results
with the intention to get the best job
in the field I’m qualified for .

I attended school until the year 2010,
After school I went to go an study
Information Technology(I.T) AT On
The Ball Computers. There is where
my life started growing. My
qualification program was a year
course I.T for Technical Support. A
college referred me to O.T.B.C
where I can do my qualification.
It improved my whole outlook on life and
personal skills. After attending
O.T.B.C I’ve been to companies
where I’ve seen how it is to work in
this field that was a challenge to me
as a person taking on life. Today I
have a learnership from Bytes
technical group where Im doing
system support level 5 in I.T and
thanks to O.T.B.C who referred me
to them.I’m not working at the
moment as I am still attending my
learnership.
Firstly I would like to finish my learnership
which I still attend, after that I would
like to go and work in my field to
build up an experience. My biggest

I heard about the qualification
programme through my mother's
friend that is involved in the MICT
Seta. I have been on this
qualification for 8 months.
The qualification improved my knowledge
in information technology and made
me realize what i want to achieve
once i have completed my studies.

part in a learnership.
To complete my studies and to gain as
much experience possible as well as
doing lots of small courses so that i
can specialize in more than one field
in I.T.

for a college to do an I.T course then I
heard about On The Ball Computers

the qualification I wanted to do. I studied
2 years in the Technical Support

qualified learner in I.T.

at Business Connection.
My plans are to keep studying and
improve my knowledge.
