Since I am uncertain if I actually did the questions in course 1, I am reanswering them now that I am starting to get the hang of things.
I am an INFT-A. The main things I learned about myself is that I am going to take time just learning to use technology and on-line acronyms. I also learned that I am a bit frustrated by this daunting hurdle. In my schooling days a tape recorder and IBM typewriter were high tech.😊 In fact, I still have my 1st Samsung phone that is at least 10 years old. I am using the I-Pad on loan to me for my P.T. in order to do my homework. Using my VERY old computer is not possible because it is Windows 7, and using the one that is not as old is difficult due to my not being familiar with it yet, and it not having any paid extras normally on a computer. I think that I am getting the hang of this in spite of the difficulties. Hurray! Other than that I did not discover much about myself, that I had not already learned being a mother of four and/or been informed about earlier throughout my years of schooling.
@Hope hi! Can this program go towards work placement? I am in TAFE and studying mental health certificate 4. I need someone to sign off that I’ve done everything right.
@FinalFantasy
You will need to check with the place of work. They can best guide you if they accept this specific program for that placement. We are able to provide verification of your work on 7 Cups, you can read more on that here.
