About Me
Roger A. Chapronière
Aspirations: At 65 years of age I decided to formalise my life long passion for Astronomy and complete a course of studies to gain a Certificate of Higher Education in the subject. I have set it as a four year goal and I hope to complete it well before I reach my seventieth birthday.
Qualifications: I have UK GCE 'O' levels in Chemistry with Physics together with Maths, I also have gained several professional qualifications including subjects like the Ambulance Para-medic course and a nationally recognised certificate to train Instructors in commercial and industrial environments.
I am extremely excited about this venture and I see it as an opportunity to tackle something that I should have done many years ago. I feel that life has given me one last chance to realise a dream and together with encouragement from the staff at John Moore's University I am looking forward to pulling it off!!
