SkillsTrain > SkillsTrain Reviews > PC Engineer (A+) Course Certification Reviews
Working around my 60 hour a week job. Driving 100's of miles a week. This course is giving me great hope for the future. When I see my results it gives me great encouragement to keep going, knowing that life can get better. I'm loving it, and wish that I did all this sooner.

I can build computers, help staff/children with IT skills and etc, install hardware and software onto desktops/laptops, I can also encrypt laptops when staff bring them to myself or even telling them over the telephone step by step procedure and keeping a record of any IT equipment sent to any people either on a spreadsheet or on a word document.

Over the past two months I have been studying very hard for promotion at work. One of my key tasks was to pass my A+ and N+ exams to help put a case forward for promotion. In December 2007 I passed both external exams to certify as an A+ IT Technician and now have the certificate on my wall at work. Then to make things even better I sat and passed my Comptia N+ exam in February and am now awaiting that certificate to go alongside my A+ one. My manager has just said he is going to support my case for promotion and fingers crossed it will be made true these coming months. All of this is down to the course materials received from Skillstrain making the studying a lot easier with excellant course materials.
Thanks

Since I started the course I haven't found it difficult instead I have learned new things about IT that I didn't know. The course is a smooth process of learning which can be helped with a lot of studying

I am pleased to say that so far I have achieved 90% or greater on my TMA's which I am extremely pleased about. But more then that I am extremely proud of myself for completing the two units on networks. I had very limited understanding of networks, but with the clear and precise text I can say without a doubt that I know more about networks now then I have ever done previously. It May seem like small potatoes but to me, the network parts of the course I knew would be hard, they were infact quite easy to understand due to the fact that it was written clearly and in a way in which I could understand. Makes me want to get the A+ done and move onto the N+ as quick as possible.
-Andrew
I have never been one for studing and could never apply myself to it, for e.g I started this course in three years ago with the ambition to finsh it quickly but I never actually started until November 2007. Since then I have seen what the course work has to offer and I have been blown away by how easy it is to get my head down and actually study. The course work is fantastic and easy to get to grips with, I May only have just completed part a in the Comptia A+ section but I have learned and achieved alot and look forward to what this course holds for me not only in work prospects but what it has done for me as a person and that is all thanks to skillstrain who have made it possible.

People are now asking me for advice about there pc,s as they know if I dont know the answer the answer is only a phone call or an e.mail away.up to now I have been able to give them all the answers they need I have given them more space on there hard drives I have speeded up there pc,s helped them with networking installed cd and dvd players and copiers and expansion cards and many other things I am pleased to tell you I know more than I realise I know but I wont let this go to my head as all of life is a learning curve and its never too late to learn if I dont pass this course I am pleased to have made the effort.
-Roy
Since starting this course at the beginning of January I have become 100% more confident about solving promblems and maintaining computers, I have even started some part time work for a company that repairs p.c's and laptops. I have also built a p.c for a friend to his specification, which I feel is a good achievement in itself, because 2 months ago I would have had no idea where to even start. So I think my biggest achievement so far would be, having the confidence to competently build and repair computers.
-Robert
I have recently joined Skillstrain and enjoying every minute of it. I have done 2 assignments and I am ready to do my third. I am very grateful for all the support I receive and look forward to a fantastic new career after completing my course.
-Kamal
After much stopping and starting I have finally persevered and completed the first part of my course. Despite redundancy and learning a new job plus family bereavement I have stuck to my objectives and got through. With a clear study plan now in place I am looking forward to the next part. I May not have been a quick in achieving this but have done so with excellent results in my TMA's - something that I am most proud of.
-Martin
I was very much pleased with my academic perfomance last month especially bacause as I've been out of school for almost 10 years; and being able to pull it through while under pressure from work.
-Samukelo
Since I started this course I have been very busy with work and other household duties. I tried to take some time out to study, but after a tiring day at work I felt as though my brain would switch-off in the evening.
It was only when I returned from abroad, after getting married, I thought to myself 'if I cant do in now I'll never be able to do it.' So, I put my head down and studied as hard as I could and submitted ten TMAs within a period of one month. In majority of my TMAs I got 100% and the remaining over 90%.
I think I have done very well for myself this month, not to forget my mother has also been critically ill in hospital for the last couple of weeks.
-Samiur
I feel I really achieved well. When I started the course I knew little about IT but now my knowledge and understanding of the subject has immensely increased. I have built up my own PC with no problems and I am keeping up to date with the change in technology since I now have a grounding in the basics and more. I've also been able to troubleshoot problems that I have experienced myself by the guidelines I learned from the different sections. I study hard and always try to achieve better or maintain the percentages I get in my TMAs. I'm dedicated and have my TMAs done as soon as I understand the unit. I am also looking forward to the examination I will be writing soon as I am confident I'll be doing well.

Getting skilled through SKILLS TRAIN, I am doing well as an Engineer in company's infrastructur. During my work routines, I find the problems which I have seen in the books(SKILLS TRAIN Syllabus). This course has helped me a lot in getting the amplitude to resolve the computing issues.
I found a computer, working on one place very fine, however, when I moved it from one place to another, it stopped working on first screen. A month back, I 've gone through the Chapter in which I have read about BIOS POST test. I checked everything one by one and removed the faulty hardware which was mouse in this case.
-Zubair
I was so grateful after having more than 8 months of the course because of family problems!!! After coming back to it I achieved 95% on my TMA'S without any tutor help am so proud of myself as am loving the A+ to BITS!

Just passed Cisco ICND1/CCENT first attempt, thanks for all of your support and help. Can't stop and ponder...CCNA in my sights!

FROM DOOR SUPERVISOR (SECURITY STAFF) TO A NETWORK ENGINEER
I am currently taking my second semester CCNA course and this on its own is a lot of achievement by me. It takes a lot of courage and determination to combine your regular work, your university course and the Cisco courses.
Although I have not been promoted since the last time I got a promotion, but I could smell promotion. Armed with the practical experiences I got from CCNA semester 1, I have helped to draw up a network diagram for the IS department whcih has been accepted and been worked on at the moment. I used Packet Tracer to achieve this. My name has been put forward for sponsorship by my company for more professional courses due to my contribution.
What a successful career path skillstrain college has given me (from a security officer to a network engineer)!
May I use this opportunity to extend my warm gratitude to my tutors, students and staff of skillstrain college for the good work. I can't wait to complete my CCNP so that I could embark on a company sponsored learning with skillstrain.
-Donny
I have been working really hard this month, after being taken ill I was unable to achieve the goals that I had intended to achieve; maybe now that I am on the road to recovery I can catch up and pass this course by the end of the year :) thanks for all your help
-Michael
I have done ComTia A+ and N+, and finished first semester of Cisco Discovery 1 and passed.
-Scott
Despite the high demand from the degree programme, I managed to complete the A+ section which am waiting for the other part of the course. Though, this help me too to do some little jobs on friends and my own computer or other electronics.
-Bunama
The most significant accomplishment for me was my new job. After a long wait, I have moved into the IT industry. I am now working as a Technical Sales Advisor. Prior to this I was working as a part-time cleaner!
In the interview I had an assessment to complete. Knowledge and understanding, which I only got from studying with SkillsTrain, assisted me a lot. Lacking the knowledge of this course, I can guarantee I would not have been successful for my Advisor position. Before I stared this course I had no knowledge with regards to the computing environment but now I have encompassed a lot of things which has aided me to achieve my goal.
Furthermore, using the knowledge from studying the course I have helped many family, friends and neighbours with setting up their computers, wireless networks etc.
I haven't covered a great deal yet, however I am astonished at the skills I have acquired so far. My results have also been very good. I have achieved over 85% in my recently submitted TMAs. I very much like the style of the presentations, support notes and most importantly the excellent live Internet training labs, which is unbelievably helpful.
I am proud & thrilled of being part of such a great IT learning centre. I wish to convey my gratitude & appreciation to all at SkillsTrain.
