1988Pendle Training Group - Computer Literacy Course (Distinction)

Due to working in a contract Drawing Office, I have acquired skills in a wide range of mechanical engineering applications. For the last seventeen years I have been involved in Computer Aided Design. I have worked predominantly with AutoCAD (2D & 3D) and also AutoCAD 3D studio, all for which I have attended College Courses. AutoCAD Inventor for Windows is my current platform. I am also a regular member of various online CAD forums. I am currently undergoing review in respect of a professional engineering body.

I have always tried to work to the best of my abilities both at work and at College, and was awarded The Pendle Training Group Apprentice of the Year Award for my efforts.

My main interests centre on Computing. The applications vary from 3D modelling to Databases and programming. I also enjoy designing and building kit cars. My current vehicle is a 2100cc Dutton Phatton, which I have totally rebuilt and modified for hill climbing. I have been actively involved in music particularly keyboards, both playing and teaching, for the last 19 years. My leisure activities are very varied revolving around all forms of sport, which includes playing for local teams.
