Ten-year-old Shayan Ahmed, who passed his AS level in computing
yesterday, hopes to pursue a career in IT. In a
podcast interview with Computer Weekly, Ahmed spoke of his
desire to become a web designer.
Shayan, from Walsall in the West Midlands, is already building
his own website, which will allow him to write a blog for his
family.
"I am really happy. Really glad. For me that's the best result,"
he said after receiving his AS level results yesterday.
Shayan spent every Saturday for a year studying at Ryde Teaching
Services in Bushey, Hertfordshire, to gain his AS level. He was
previously awarded a GCSE grade B in Information and Communication
Technologies at the age of seven.
Shayan plans to celebrate today with his family and friends by
going bowling. Shayan developed an interest in computers at the age
of two when his grandfather bought him an Apple Mac.
His friends think his success at AS level is "quite cool", he
said.
