A job well done –
Instructing in Information Technology
Reserve soldier, Private Diane Clarke, of the 3rd Battalion the Jamaica
Regiment (National Reserve) writes enthusiastically about the Information
Technology Course that she recently attended as part of her clerical
training. The Basic Clerical Course (0-C3) was conducted 9 May to 12 August
2005 and provided instructions on documentation, typing and information
technology.
Private Clarke proudly reports that the Information Technology module had
100 per cent passes, where she was among the top performers. The three top
performers for the information technolgy phase were :
2nd Runner Up : Private Clarke,
D (author) 3rd Battalion the Jamaica Regiment (National Reserve)
1st Runner Up : Private Green, L of the Headquarters Jamaica Defence Force
Top Student : Private Brown, S of the 2nd Battalion the Jamaica Regiment
First half of the 0-C3 Clerical
Course at Head Quarters Jamaica Defence Force Information System Centre.
The Graduating Class on the Basic Clerical Course (0-C3) bid farewell on 15
July 2005 at the Information Systems Centre of the Jamaica Defence Force
after four weeks of hard work. The trainees on the 0-C3 Clerical Course were
introduced to the Information Technology (Beginners) Course on 20 June 2005
and received instructions to Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint
application softwares. We were soon taught that knowledge is not fragmented
nor compartmentalized, it is a body. And in keeping with the overall mission
and roles of the military, the pupils were taught how to apply these
applications to their areas of responsibilities.
Second half of the 0-C3 Clerical
Course held over the period 09 May – 12 August 2005 in Class at Head
Quarters Jamaica Defence Force Information System Centre.
The course which began as an interesting and stimulating learning experience
gradually became more challenging as new information had to be grasp in very
short time. Nonetheless, the motivation and interest the pupils had
initially were not lost and it allowed them to remain focus. The entire
group was successful as the challenges experienced were expertly addressed
by the instructors who demonstrated a high level of understanding and
professionalism. A job well done!!
