SkillsTrain Reviews from Students

With myself being of the older generation, it was with concerns that I started on the CompTIA A+ course. ( That's Network Engineer to us mere mortals ).
But I must say that it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. With careful study, I am attaining marks that would have my old school chums drooling at the mouth,my lowest mark is 80%, and my highest is 100%, my family, and friends are amazed ( so am I ) at the results I am getting. My coursework is done round my job, and my family commitments, but I am getting there.
Currently I am on TMA 7 which to me is the hardest so far. There will be others that are harder, but I am convinved that I will do it and attain the full exam and succeed. So don't be disheartened if you don't seem to be doing that well, your marks will come. Just put at least one hour a day to one side for study. My boss is eating his words now. Will not manage it? PHUEEEEE!! I have amazed myself.

At Last I have made it, next week I am taking my exams for the CompTIA A+ course and I cant believe how soon it is. My many thanks to Tutor Team A for their support and guidance throughout this course. I have already begun studying N+ course, and am hopeful to make the same progress I have achieved so far! I have been able to use my knowledge gained so far to fix problems with 4 of my friends PC's and knowing that I have helped them on their way again gives me a lot of satisfaction that the hours of study are worth it.

I am currently undertaking 2 of the biggest jobs I have ever handled as self employed, and they are coming together niceley. More to the point, I am undertaking a 13 week short course, (C&G 2381 at erdington campus, sutton college) 1 night a week at college, only 4 weeks to exam time!!Somehow I have still managed to get my TMAs submitted within 24 hours of receiving the previous topics`results. Just keep telling yourself you will be finished in no time, and before you know it the end is in sight.

I don't thing I can say anything yet of my achievements, I'm still on my 1st month courses. I do appreciate the way it is going, as I am a computer technician for almost 15 years now.
Thanks

I never achieve anything in my life after I finished school, but now I feel this time around I will achieve something. when I started the course I knew nothing about PC Hardward and maintenance, but I have gained an exellent understanding. My average is 90 percent on my tutor marked assignment through studying hard. I hope I will carry on trying my best to achieve my goal in life to became a network and PC technician.

I got 90% on TMA 01 and TMA02, it might not sound to important to other people but it does to me, because I have never succeeded in anything,I now realise that hard work and dedication does pay off.

I HAVE STUDIED VERY HARD AND WORK FULL TIME AND HAVE HAD FANTASTIC RESULTS IN MY TUTOR MARKED ASSINGMNETS.

I have read some of the other success stories - I felt quite moved by what some people have over came and dealt with. I myself came down with M.E in April 2006, it wasn't until January this year that I managed to sustain studying again.I work in a telecomm's network management office, I find myself talking about technical subjects that I would have never had known enough about to contribute to. I find the 2006 objectives Compti A+ much better it is laid out,and in a clearer format. I have never felt rushed or under pressure thanks to the terms of the course. I only ever seem to email my tutor team but no matter when I do, I always get a swift response.I have just got 97% on my last TMA after re-submitting it, it felt really good as I was worried I had made the same mistakes!
Lastly I would just like to wish everyone luck, but its not luck what lets you succeed.....its you!

I have been receiving until my latest assignment 100% for the last 5. This is despite having had alot of problems with my health and being stuck in bed unable to do anything for most of the week.Despite my illnesses I have still been ready to submit the next assignment either on the day I receive the results or the day after.I have been able to use my skills that I have learnt to install and trouble shoot the new internet hub so that it is working properly.I have also been able to help some of my friends out with some of their problems as well as my husband who is doing a computer course.

I have always be one who enjoyed building ang installing software for my own pc's. I recently took the bull by the horns and entered myself for the A+, N+, CCNA course and have enjoyed every minute since I started. I am a Joiner by trade and decided that I want a career in IT and am working hard toward that goal. This month so far I have submitted TMA 1-4 and have acheived 100% for TMA1, 73% TMA2, 90% TMA3 and 100% TMA4. I plan to continue to acheive high marks in all tests and have my qualifications within 18 months.

I managed to get rid of a virus on a friends computer. It could not be deleted using anti virus software, so I had to get rid of it in safe mode by changing the name of the file so it could be deleted. I then repaired the mbr, and computer is now working fine, I also defragged it and installed firewalls and spyware software as a preventitive.

I have started a network course .... and achieved 95% and 83% in my first two units with my third being marked as we speak. I have never attained a mark this high in all my schooling so I think I am doing really well.

I must confess that my course with skills train that is A+, N+, CCNA & CCNP has given me alot of confidence to face the future as an IT professional.
IT has always being my dream, little did I know that, that dream will come true some day.I never had the resources for the course but thanks to career development.I now pay in bits for the realisation of a dream career.

I recently finished a degree at university and wasn't sure where I wanted to go, a common problem for students. I ended unemployed for a while and really started to feel down. I decided to take up a certification course in IT after seeing SkillsTrain advertised. I decided to take the A+ and N+ and go on to take the CCNA.
After completing the A+ I received a chance to work on an IT help desk. This really has helped me chose a career path and given me something to aim for. I have almost completed the N+ now and since starting my IT career I have been given the opportunity to progress to second line support.

Thank you for all your continued help.

Was it a small achievement generally, I am proud to say that my accomplishment so far is not a small one. I have completed my A+ and N+ programmes. I am currently waiting for my password and username to reach me so that I could start off my CCNA. While studying with skill train college, I managed to get a certificate in mathematics with the Open University at the same time. I am proud to say that I will be rounding off my degree in ICT with the Open university by October this year. My programme with skill train really helped and is still helping me a great deal with my Open University programme. The skill train programme gave me a lifeline and a much desired hope. I am proud to say that I got a skilled work due to the experience I have gained so far from my skill train courses. My company have decided to enrol me on a work-based ICT course(NVQ level 2) because I passed the preliminary qualification test for the course. Maybe,all these achievements wouldn't have been possible if I didn't start my programme with skill train college. I am thinking of enrolling for further studies with skill train once I complete my CCNP programme. The flexibility of study and feedbacks from tutors has helped me a lot and I don't think I want to stop studying with the college yet.

Recently I was diagnosed with Crohns disease I have had to adopt a new life style in every aspect of my life be it social, work and home. Dealing with the condition and being in and out of hospital often, made me put this course on the back burner but has made me believe that you have to deal with what life throws at you but also take the opportunities that are presented to you and make the most of them. I don't revel in sympathy, and as far as I'm concerned there are folks a lot worse off than me. You get out of life what you put in, so this course has given me a very real opportunity to prove that statement!!
