SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis Resource Sheet

STRENGTHS

I am a very ‘hands on’ learner. This proved very good during my GCSE Electronics and the practical elements of my A-Levels.
I am relatively laid back and easy going. Not so much so that I don’t do my assignments but enough so I do not panic and get overly stressed about them.
Currently I am unemployed. While this is also a threat it is a strength as it means I have more time to spend on my work.
WEAKNESSES

My handwriting is extremely untidy. This makes it difficult to read my notes while typing them up. It also makes it hard for other people to read and mark my work.
I do not yet have the internet. I will be getting a dongle but that has not arrived yet. For now I will be doing online work in the library in town or at the college. Even when I am connected to the internet Google doesn’t work. I will have to look into fixing this as the other available search engines do not always return appropriate search results.
OPPORTUNITIES

Attending UCP is an opportunity as, providing I put the work in, I will be a qualified engineer by the end of the course which will improve my employability.
Even though I applied late to UCP I consider it as an opportunity as it means I had more time to thoroughly research my options and courses which were available to me.
THREATS

As mentioned I am unemployed. This is a threat as it means I have no source of income until my student loan goes in. This means I will not be able to buy the material I need for the course. Obviously the library is essential until I am employed.
