When taking the Microsoft test, many supervisor of the test concerned about how young he was to be a candidate. The test itself was commonly taken by people who wanted to have an IT technician career. Howeve, Asim Qureshi, Ayan’s dad convinced them that Ayan will be just fine.
According to Ayan, the Microsoft test he took was rather difficult but enjoyable. “It has multiple choice questions, matching, hotspot and scenario based questions,” said Ayan to BBC Asian Network.
Ayan was raised in Coventry, England. He had five months of preparation before taking the certification test held by Microsoft in Birmingham City University, last September. Actually for Ayan, IT was not something new. His Dad who is an IT consultant had introduced him with many computerized stuffs since he was three years old.
According to Asim, Ayan started to develop interest with computer when he knew Windows software. Then Ayan became enthusiastic at playing computer games. “Too much computing at this age can cause a negative effect, but in Ayan’s case he has cached this opportunity.” Ayan’s dad revealed.
Seeing his son’s potential, Asim started to teach Ayan how computers work. Ayan now had a computer lab at home in Coventry, with the network computer he built. He spent about two hours a day to learn about the computer operating system and how to install programs.
And now, Ayan became a genius Superkids who laid hand on Microsoft programmer certification. Amazing, isn’t he Superkids!
