E-Commerce & Project Management Course Certification Reviews
Hi all well what can I say.......
When I first applied for a web course I didn't hear anything until a month or so later in which time I had forgot all about it, when I got the call to say someone would be round to see me I was nervous and excited...what if they think I can't do it will I be able to pay all these this went round in my head and having suffered with depression for over 7 years you get a bit paranoid..anyway when he came round within 10mins I felt right at ease as he explained the course to me and what they expected of me....sounded great anyway 2 hours later he made a call and I got a course E-COMMERCE PROJECT MANAGER and only wanted to do web design but after speaking to me he said it would suit me so I said OK he knew I have a few major operations coming up and wanted something I could still do from home when I have my long recoveries.....he gave me the folder and went, I left it till the next day to look at as I was still on cloud 9.
When I looked at I thought on my god I can't do this but I got stuck in and studied hard didn't help that my computer keeps breaking down maybe I should of done pc repairer ha ha at first I rushed it as wanted to do it quickly but had to re-do a couple of TMA'S that will teach me so now I take my time and read everything twice and have completed my first section and just received my second folder im so proud of my self and the tutors have be great if I could pat myself on the back I would so to people who have just started don't look and think you can't do it YOU can and don't rush it's not a race and it's not worth it having to take the test again, good luck to everyone doing a skill's train course.

Well I have only recently started with my course, and have already finished my first TMA, in which I achieved a %100 mark. I am three qaurters through the second one and look forward to every bit of information to follow.
-Hendrik
I have learnt many things I did not know from the first lesson. I looking forward to finish my course. I am with no dought that I will achieve my goals. I appreciate the work done by you all. TMA01 I managed to get 95% marks which gave me more confidence to continue.
-David
Thank you for this lesson, I believe it helped me a lot.
-Zuzana
It was very interesting. And I've learn lots of different useful tips.
I would like to attend more of those cyber classes.

It has not been easy doing this course and submitting assignment, as I am a priest of the Church of England and spend more time on pastoral and spiritual issues affecting members, developing my spiritual life, and above all, a final year LLM (Canon Law) - Ecclesiatical Law part time student (Cardiff Law School) writing coursework and also preparing for my project. Nevertheless; hard work, discipline, determination and time management helped to finished my TMA 01 which I had 90%. I believe this is great achievement.

I successfully completed TMA 01 (Tutor Marked Assignment), with a 95% pass, I would like to believe that I managed very well, as I currently have two jobs to go to, one in the morning, which is very physical and drains me of energy, and my second job, which is more so physical as opposed to my first. I finish work at 9:30pm, after which I come home to study for what was two hrs a day and now is 3 hrs. It sometimes takes me half an hour or more to go from work to home. By the time I get home I'm shattered and all I want is to sleep after a long and strenuous day, but that doesn't happen. I start studying at around 11pm -2am most days of the week, these including: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are not as texting. However, I know the strain and stress are only for a season, and with hope that when all is done it will have all been worth every hour of routine stressful dedication. Thank you.

Getting 85% on my first TMA really gave my self confidence a real boost. So much so that I was confident I could solve a problem that my Internet Service Provide, a cable company, seemed unable to do.
I have two laptops at home, one from work using Microsoft and the other a Mac. Since signing up to the course meant I had to use the work laptop I decided to get them the cable company to reinstate this laptop to access my broadband. Great I thought, now I can access the Internet from either. Not true! My home laptop had stopped working and after repeated calls to the cable company, every time I logged out it lost the connection. Needless to say I was getting nowhere fast so I made a decision to go out to PC World and buy a wireless router. I followed the instructions, very nearly lost myself to panic at the first hurdle before sticking with it to successfully install it on my home laptop. I then configured my work computer to pick up the wireless router as well. So now the children can access a computer at the same time as I'm studying, making home life less stressful!
I felt dead chuffed as I've never had the confidence to do this before. My understanding of how the Internet connections work has helped me to succeed in something I would have asked someone else to do for me in the past. It just goes to show, you're never too old to learn new tricks!

I am particularly happy with my outstanding performance in my first assignment. I have worked in IT department of a bank in my country for about three years as a computer graduate. My work is basically supporting users for effective use of the bank's application package(equinox banking system). I have just little or no knowledge of the hardware, networking/internet functionalities. Even most times I have to call my colleagues which a specialist in that area to help me setup my computer. My first lesson taught me so much and the material coupled with the lab experiences have made the whole thing sink so easily. The case study also help you to think and bring all that you have learnt to use. In just the first lesson I have learnt so many thing about the including the proper use of the resource centres. I can now configure my browser to what I want using the option button in the tools menu. Within the few days I started the programme I have learnt what I didnt know about internet and web browser since I started working. This programme is really a great one and I can wait to finish to demonstrate all that I have learn in providing solutions and adding values to whoever would employ me. I try my best to devote at least two hours to reading my material every day and that has helped me alot. I have submitted my second assignment and have started reading the third lesson. Hopefully before the end of this week I would submit my third assignment. I am mostly encouraged by the progress I am making and the level I learnt new thing which I can put to practical use. Thanks to the developers of this programme. It has really made much impact in me. The tutors are wonderful and always ready to assist. Is indeed a great programme.

In my previous presentation of my achievements, I outlined the workload on my shoulder. Within the month of March, I have been able to sent 3 course work and hopefully, I will send all together about 5 course work by the end of the month. My results are good, Thank you.
-Jacob
I knew very little about the internet, but after one month I am able to access the internet smoothly and solve the problems I May have to face.

First; thank`s for allowing students to expose their achievement on your site.
That will help to understand progress steps and the characteristic of each student environment, in both personal and professional level.
Second; my personal achievements as I see them:
A good introduction on the world of IT.
A logical understanding of the ways in how the world of computer behaves
a maximum information input in a minimum time leading to a fast progress
my sense of confidence in undertaking IT initiative and putting them forward into practical form, developing a great appetite for learning IT and pushing harder in the course study by allowing more time for it.
My life style is changing; becoming more organized an coordinated between the body and mind. A sense of support on a family level prompted by my display of the correct discipline, the result that I successfully achieved so far, are helping me in my current job and future prospect.
-Mahmoud
I have managed to complete 3 TMA's in this my first month. My results have amazed me because I have done 53 hours overtime at work this month and I didn't think I'd be able to stick to my study plan but I somehow managed. TMA 01 90%,TMA 02 92% TMA 03 being marked.
-Paul
I have learnt alot through out this course I have achieved alot more than I would of thought of. I'm so confident with myself in getting this course completed I didn't think I would stick with it but I did. I got a 90% in my first test which is the biggest achievement for me as I have never in my life got a 90% on anything.
-Tanya
My achievements has been tremendous, I extend my extreme gratitude to my tutors and skilltrain without forgetting my wife who introduced me to this opportunity. I wish to work hard for progress. I would say to all of the students, to take their studies seriously. Thanks to all.
-David
Thanks for the session, it helped me to identify how best I learn and other things I could do that would help me to retain information.
-Hilary
I am so proud, I know its nothing for some students but I have done 3 assignments within a month, as having a special need child at home, looking after him and working and trying to complete my study course, all that can be a bit hand full.
-Kamaljeet
At university I had the choice of doing computer programming or business, I chose business because I thought it would be easier for me. I have been really running away from computer courses because the thought of all the computer jargon frightened me.
Guess what? Six years later here I am doing a course in E-Commerce and Project Management, thanks to SkillsTrain, it is not as scary as I thought it would be already I have submitted two assignments and got 100% in each. I really find it fun to learn about the various components that make up the internet, already this course has enhanced my internet surfing experience.
-Cresida
I am trying do as much as I can to achieve my course and get certificate despite working full-time including bank holidays and weekend as that is the requirement of my job. The course which I doing is not that easy especially when English is my second language. I try not to give up despite "weak days" which are really hard for me :) I would like to wish all students all the best in achieving qualifications and lots luck in career.
-Justyna
I thought I would enter for student of the month because I have seen a major improvement in my assignments and hit the 100% mark for most of the e-commerce part A. Last week I entered the public exams for the CIW foundation v5 and passed which I find is a big step forward and I can now see the end of the tunnel. Im now almost ready for the next exam which would be the CIW e-commerce, just need to complete the Part B of the course. I seem to be getting on quite well during the summer months even though I am looking after our 2 year daughter and trying to keep her amused. Most of the studying is in the late afternoon/evening, it has taken 6 months so far to get where I am. I think the foudations course was the larger of the course's that I am taking, it's also difficult as you know bits and pieces of stuff already only to find that you didn't know it that well at all. Just waiting for my certificate to come through door now. Hopefully not long till I can start employment and get job satisfaction

I have very quickly realised that being a graduate is simply not enough to get a good job and earn an agreeable salary. I have registered my CV with many agencies with little to no response. I recently upgraded my CV and added that I was pursuing a course in E-Commerce and Project management and I am now being called for interviews. The last interview I went to was for a job as Office Assistant, and the interviewer said "are you sure that's what you want to do? You seem to be overqualified for this job" needless to say I did not get the job because he thought I could do so much better than just being an Office Assistant. I have never been told this before and I am certain That this course has made a whole lot of difference to my CV. Thanks to Skills Train I am several steps closer to getting my dream job. The Course is a challenge but then nothing this good comes easy, giving up is not an option for me now, because the future looks a bit more certain, once I have completed my course. thanks again Skills Train!!
-Cresida
It has been amazing how quick I have progressed in my course work. My tutor team have been very helpful as they are a call away. I have just submitted my TMA5 and am looking forward for my next phase of assignments.
