Unce upon a time.... The whole story begun in 2006. I started studying with
skillstrain while I was doing the night shift at one well known delivering company when I realized that I am not able to study normally by attending courses. But why did I decide to study? Well, I used to work as a waiter at different places around the Europe (Germany, Cyprus, on a ship providing cruises to tourists). My profession was in Gastronomical industry and I decided to change it because of huge interest for computers. In 2007 I bought my first laptop and I got into it very fast because of time I spent on it. I was evolving very fast so I decided to start studying with a view to become an IT professional in the future. I got married the same year , but it was not a problem – my wife supports me in every way till now... ( only one thing she hates is when I m playing Tribalwars :) ). By the end of the year 2008 we decided to leave U.K because of a certain discomfort and home sickness of my wife which was good for us in order to look at the new challenges in front of us. I finished
A+ course with certificate and very good rates and now I am looking forward to pass
N+ and
CCNA exam in spring 2010. This knowledge has helped me to begin new carrier in IT as Administrator at the Computer and Networking Center at the University here in Poland. It was quite difficult at the beginning because I am Slovak by nationality but I am improving my abilities very fast, what is a vital point it this sector which does dynamically changes all the time. When I finish this course I want to improve my skills in unix, Linux systems and I think I will do it for sure with
Skillstrain because of nice way of studying and help from the tutors I always May count on. Recently I got a job offer from an international IT company which was quite interesting as far as pay and experience is concerned. Sure, I will have to decide with help of my wife :). I wish good luck to all of the students at
Skillstrain. With every submitted tutor marked assignment you are one step forward to a new carrier, believe me, even if it is really difficult sometimes to study when you get back from work. But half an hour at least counts a lot every day. Thank you. Happy Xmas.
