SkillsTrain Reviews from Students

I recently changed isp and couldn't login to this site. Now that I can, I found I got full marks for my TMA. I thought I had done terrible due to my TMA being a written assignment. I am really enjoying the course.

Well just undergoing the course was a step in the right direction for me, I have wanted to do this for a long time and never did, but now I have and am enjoying this so far. Already I have submitted three sets of TMA's the first three weeks of the month. Two of these I have received the answers back and have scored 100% on both and hopefully my third 100% is on its way, and currently I have just started the forth section of my course and will be ready to submit TMA 4 as soon as the third TMA answers are sent back to me. Even if I don't get voted for student of the month just to be on this course and receiving the positive answers back already make me a winner. Good luck to all others studying and entering the SOTM.

MY ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR ARE TO DEMONSTRATE TO MY EMPLOYERS ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNT FROM MY COURSE SO FAR, THIS IS A BIG SUCCESS FOR ME.
MY RESULTS SO FAR ARE AN AVERAGE OF 90 TO 100% THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED.

FIRST OF ALL I NEED TO SAY THAT I AM CURRENTLY JUGGLING MY COURSEWORK WITH 12 HOUR SHIFTS AT WORK AND TRYING TO SPEND TIME WITH MY SONS OF 1 AND 3.I HAVE MANAGED TO COMPLETE TMA 2 AND THREE OF MY A+ 2003 OBJECTIVES AND HAVE SINCE TRANSFERED ON TO THE 2006 OBJECTIVES.I HAVE COMPLETED TMA 1 2006 OBJECTIVES .AWAITING PROGRESS REPORT SO THAT I CAN COMPLETE TMA 2.ALL IN ALL I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT OF GOOD RESULTS AS I HAVE STUDIED VERY HARD FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS

Over the past four weeks I have had the misfortune of having my wife in the I.C.U. of our local hospital, visiting daily two or three times a day, while at the same time keeping our home in order, washing and ironing, vacuuming and any other job that has required doing and also trying to keep on top of my course-work when I eventually arrived home in the mid-evening,completing three T.M.A's and receiving all but 5% from the total possible. I would like to think I was in contention for the top prize as I am trying to upgrade my existing computer so that I can get connected to broadband and spend more time on the course web site. I am pleased to inform you my wife has now been transferred to the H.D.U. and is making a slow and steady recovery.

I would like to enter for student of the month as I think that for a forty something year old to start studying again after 20 odd years is good going. Particularly as it is something completely new to him. I am proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks!!

After a great deal of soul searching I decided it was time to improve my abilities in order to try and start out in a new direction.

I have bitten off a great deal by enrolling on the CCNP course. Though not only am I doing CCNP, I am also doing A+, N+, and CCNA as a lead up to CCNP. I thought it would be good for me to have a well rounded and thorough knowledge of the area I hope to go into.

I had doubt as to my ability to start studying again but to be honest I have settled into the swing rather well. I have been achieving pleasing grades so far and I think reading over the set works twice and highlighting keywords has benefitted me greatly.

The aid received thus far has been brilliant, in particular the Lady from Nigeria has been really helpfull. Thanks for the support and I am really glad that I have started with your organisation!

Over the past few weeks I have successfully helped some people diagnose problems with there computers and offered advice on how to fix these problems, I have also fixed my mates pc just a couple of days ago, I took it apart and found that the P.S.U. had burnt out and today I am going round to fit the new one for him.

WHILE DOING THE A+ PART OF MY STUDY TIMETABLE, AND KEEPING DOWN A FULL TIME JOB, I HAVE ALSO PASSED MY LGV DRIVING TEST. I AM NOW CURRENTLY HALF WAY THROUGH MY N+ STUDY TIMETABLE.

Since I have started the course I have acheived results beyond what I thought I could. I restarted the course when I sent for the undated version which I find is more in depth and the troubleshouting section is a great help.my TMA scores have ranged from 87% - 100%.All this studying is undertaken while holding down a perminent nightshift job and visiting my children at weekends.since the studying I have been able to help friends family with a variety of pc problems with either hardware or sorfware which I am improving all the time.Hopefully when I have completed some more coursework I will apply for partime jobs to get more experience in this field of further employment

I FEEL THAT EVEN WITH MY ILL HEALTH I AM PROGRESSING AT A RATE THAT SUITS ME , ALSO THAT I AM SUPPRISING MYSELF WITH THE RESULTS THAT I HAVE BEEN GETTING , MY FREINDS AND NEIGHBOURS ARE NOW ASKING ME TO HAVE A LOOK AT THEIR COMPUTORS FOR THEM, WHICH I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIX AND INSTALL NEW HARDWARE FOR THEM , WHICH FILLS ME WITH GREAT SATISFACTION

Top 

I GOT 100 % IN MY FIRST TMA , I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A MASSIVE ACHIEVMENT FOR ME AND AM REALLY PROUD OF MY SELF, I HAVE AN EXTREAMLY BUSY LIFE STYLE WITH A DEMANDING LABOURIOUS JOB, I HAVE ALL OF THE STRESS OF BEING A YOUNG MAN WITH A BABY ON THE WAY, ALL WHILST IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING HOUSE OVER 150 MILES ACCROSS THE COUNTRY FROM IPSWICH TO LEICESTER AND TRYING TO KEEP UP AT LEAST A TINY LITTLE BIT OF A SOCIAL LIFE I MANAGED TO TAKE ON A NEW SUBJECT AND ADAPT BACK INTO THE RITIUALS OF STUDY TO LEARN ENOUGH OF THE COURSE MATIERIAL IN A SHORT SPACE OF TIME AND ACHIEVE (I SAY AGAIN) 100% IN MY FIRST TMA, ANY WAY I DON'T MEAN TO BRAG OR ANYTHING IT'S JUST WELL IM PROUD OF MYSELF AND AIM TO KEEP UP THE STANDARD OF HIGH MARKS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE COURSE AND FEEL THAT WINNING STUDENT OF THE MONTH OR MAYBEE JUST COMING SOMWHERE NEAR MIGHT GIVE ME THE INCENTIVE TO DO SO THANKS ALL MY LOVE MATXXXXX

Comitting to the new 2006+ course after a flimsy start to the original A+ course 6 months ago. Genuine 100% record so far (not cheating) and keeping up to date every day in between working 40 hours a week.

I feel my biggest achievement was taking the decision to enroll on the course. At the age of 53 the prospect of changing careers was daunting. After listening to your representative and finally deciding that you are never to old to learn I believe that I have made one of the most important decisions of my life.

Although computer literate I would say that I am far from being an expert, however after analyzing your teaching methods I am more than confident that I can complete the course and change to a complete new career.

I feel that achieving 100% marks in both the foundation and TMA01 was more than I expected when taking on the course.

I was having very busy time at work cause I work in Supermarket and Easter is coming out but I still tried to study. Other thing is that I know a lot of things written. I gained this knoledge by experence now I can see it from other site filled with more details. My goal is to take this exam in June and rock it. Not tooo much time but pressure is giving me extra motivation.

As a foreiner I have achieved a lot from starting new words which helps me to express myself, finishing a knowledge about the computers. Before I started studying I was a little scared, about the language diference, because english is not my origin language but now I am more and more confident in myself and really looking forward to learning. I tell my friends that to start learning is not a nightmare its an oportunity and we can do this.

I have got a disabled wife and two kids, when I get then all sorted out I get down to study this course very hard for about 4-5 hours a day and read as much about A+ as I can, my family and I think I am achieveing a long for a man who has not studied for 19 years since leaving school, it took a few day to get in to it now it all good and great

Top 

I have managed to achieve 100% percent on 2 of my assignments and 97% on the last one that I submitted. I have also been ready to submit my next assignment as soon as the results from the last one arrives through the post. I have acheived all of this even though I was ill for a week with migraines.

I also have a friend coming over this week with some new parts for my computer to upgrade the memory and graphics card and I will be installing them myself under his guidance.

I have just completed my CompTIA (A+) PC Hardware and Maintenance, Core Hardware, Section 1, Part A. I have done well with my course considering the fact that I am doing two courses at a go. I have now submitted my first assignment for the part b of my course. The most important thing is that I am progressing very well with my course and I have learnt a lot ot aspects about PC'S. I am now able to repair and upgrade computers for my friends and relatives.

Top 

Having restarted my PC Maintenance and Repair course (Comptia A+) I have already completed three assignments in as many weeks. The updated training material is excellent, and it's relevance to my everyday contact with IT systems is already helping my confidence. The ease of completing and submitting assignments has also helped me to start with great enthusiasm.

As a sufferer of "Depressive Psychosis" I find it very difficult to concentrate on learning. With thoughts of harming myself and others going through my head, I can get very distracted. It is, therefore, very impressive that I am maintaining an average of one work unit completed per week, with no scores below 90% so far. Most of my assignments have yielded 100% top marks, and my median average is also 100%, which I am very proud to have acheived.

I am studying MCSE, I found books and other materials realy useful and gives me a massive knowledge in IT industry, by completing the A+ section I am ready to book my test for A+ exam, and I am quite sure to pass it at first time as the materials and books Skills Train provide are excellent and fantastic.

A friend of mine bought a new PC and he was using that for couple of months, so one day he phoned me that his PC is running very slowly and it is always stacks in for more than an hour, so I been to his house I checked his PC, he didnt have an update antivirus programe, his computer was fully targeted by viruses.

So I reboot the PC in safe mode, and run an Norton Anti Virus programe and scan his hard disk found lots of viruses, so I delete all of them then reboot the PC and updated his aniti virus programe and it was working absolutly perfect, so he was realy happy and thanked me for my work and his partner told me, she was realy embarrced that their PC was working very slowly and one day her partner was nearly to broke the PC as it was not working as it was before.

So thanks for your help, that made us happy.

When I was returning back home so in my way I was realy happy and pride of my hard study and thanked Skills Train for their excellent course materials that they facilitate for us and we do appreciate it.
