About the project

As part of my Information Technology study at North Notts College, along with other students, I have started a College On-Campus Computer Repair Centre. Due to no initial funding, we have organised a car wash during the Christmas period which helped in funding the equipment required to conduct basic computer diagnosis and repair. As a 3 we’ve worked together to advertise, manage and apply our skills gained during the course to help our clients with their PC issues.

Funding

We also took advantage of The National Association of College & University Entrepreneurs (NACUE) and presented our idea to gain funding to officially start the business. We have successfully been granted £3000 in funding after winning the competition. https://feweek.co.uk/2014/05/27/students-given-3000-for-computer-repair-centre/
