Ben Simes BSc (Hons) Computing and Systems Development 1st Class
I have been with the college throughout many levels in IT originating in Level 3 attending all the way to Level 6, With each year gaining the necessary experience and knowledge to pass on to the next.
What I enjoy about the college – The small group sizes compared to other Colleges and Universities. The nature in which, we are taught. Instead of University where you are in a mass group of other students, at SCCH you are able to build a rapport with lecturers and students alike, boosting your ability to ask questions and gain additional knowledge from your lecturers.
With the smaller class sizes, the teaching can be more focused to your way of learning, in comparison to a mainstream approach of presentations. This also aids you when completing labs, as you can have an expert guiding you through-out.
During my time at the college, I completed two projects, one for my Level 5 HND and one for my Level 6 Degree course. My Level 6 project was to ultimately design and develop a communication app for the local hospital. To aid patients with minimal to no communication ability, such as being unable to speak or limited to speaking another language.
The application was designed with the patients in mind, to design an app that was very simple in the visualisation element and usability, but ultimately provided the most effective method for them to communicate.
The app provided the patients, with information which is most requested such as the weather, time, date and where they are.

Choosing a language:
Being able to choose a language with an app such as this, provides the ability to easily communicate with all patients, the app provided the ability and functionality to include as many languages as needed.
The app also provided the ability to develop a list of useful phrases, which are greatly used by people in critical conditions, it provides a simple phrase where the users can include additional words to build the phrase. Each of which can be edited and customised for the area of use.
I received a First-Class Degree with Honours from my Level 6 course, naturally, I’m very happy with the result and am confident that the level of support and guidance from my lecturers greatly aided in this result.
