Five-year-old passes Microsoft( youngest computer specialist)

A boy from Coventry has become the youngest
computer specialist in the world.
Ayan Qureshi is now a Microsoft Certified
Professional after passing the tech giant's exam
when he was just five years old.
Ayan, now six, whose father is an IT consultant,
has set up his own computer network at home.
He told the BBC he found the exam difficult but
enjoyable, and hopes to set up a UK-based tech
hub one day.
"There were multiple choice questions, drag and
drop questions, hotspot questions and scenario-
based questions," he told the BBC Asian Network.
"The hardest challenge was explaining the language
of the test to a five-year-old. But he seemed to pick
it up and has a very good memory," explained
Ayan's father Asim.
Mr Qureshi introduced his son to computers when
he was three years old. He let him play with his old
computers, so he could understand hard drives and
motherboards.
"I found whatever I was telling him, the next day
he'd remember everything I said, so I started to
feed him more information," he explained.
"Too much computing at this age can cause a
negative effect, but in Ayan's case he has cached
this opportunity."
Ayan has his own computer lab at his home in
Coventry, containing a computer network which he
built.
He spends around two hours a day learning about
the operating system and how to install
programmes.
When the boy arrived to take the Microsoft exam,
the invigilators were concerned that he was too
young to be a candidate.
His father reassured them that Ayan would be all
right on his own.
The test is usually taken by people who want to
become IT technicians.
The exam invigilators thought Ayan Qureshi was
too young to be a candidate
Ayan's mother Mamoona is training to be a GP.
The family moved to England from Pakistan in 2009.
"I'm very happy and very proud, I don't want to see
him set a world record every day. But I want him to
do his best whatever he does in his life," she said.
Ayan says he hopes to launch a UK-based IT hub
similar to America's Silicon Valley one day, which
he intends to call E-Valley.
He also wants to start his own company.
