SkillsTrain Reviews from Students

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.

This month has been a difficult one as I have been under a lot of pressure at work trying to meet deadlines etc, also I have been having a lot of problems at home since my husband had his accident at work we have been under stress from his work at the moment. Therefore I feel that the results that I am managing to get on my course work have been etremly good with the fact that I am under so much pressure.

Getting a 94% for my first TMA, for me that is an achievement that surpassed my expectation. I therefore put this as a goal to always achieve or more so improve on.

Since I started my course with Scheidegger I have had many achievements, including passing both the CompTIA A Plus and Network Plus examinations over the course of 2006 and managing my time efficiently, enabling me to study at least 20 hours a week and work fulltime.

These achievements have directed me towards the major achievement of securing a job as a Network Analyst, earlier this month.

I have been studying towards my CCNA certification through Scheidegger for about two years now. I started from the very beginning with the CompTIA A Plus Certification, followed by the CompTIA Network Plus Certification.

My background is Marine Fisheries Science, so when I started on the CompTIA A Plus course, I was really starting from the beginning, i.e. that there is more to a PC than just a monitor and keyboard.

I really do feel that the structure of the courses; the Tutor Marked Assignments; up to date Literature and Interactive Media has provided a great framework to study around and has given me a realistic edge to the industry.

My achievement has not been at all easy. I have worked really hard and been very dedicated to the courses. It is possible to start from the beginning, as I have found out.

My next achievement will be to pass my CCNA in July and start the CCNP.

The Scheidegger courses work for those who work for it.

On The 13th of this Month I took, and passed both the A+ Hardware and the A+ Software exams --- Yes!!!!!!!!!
I have started on the N+ course and have already submitted 2 assignments and got both with 100% submitting another in a minute! (Should also be 100%)
I have used what I have learnt with Friends and Families computers repairing and upgrading, I have also fixed my own computer when the PSU failed with relative ease!

I have been doing the course for a year nearly and have been consistently attaining high marks for assignments. I have been revising the excellent course material and made excellent progress. Due to the excellent support offered by skills train staff my skills and confidence are exceeding my expectations. Thanks to all at the Skills Train !

I have had two heart attacks since Nov 06 and a 6 week stay in hospital due to the last one. I asked my wife to bring in my work to me so I could continue studing even though I was hooked up to machines all day and dosed on painkillers. I have managed to get 100% in first assignment and 93% in second. I didnt know a thing about pc's now I have fixed a friends pc which had basic problems and I was able to upgrade my own ram and put in a bigger hard drive. I'm doing this course for my family so they can have a better quality of life with the income I will get when I get a job in this field of pc repair and maintanance. I have found I'm teaching my eldest son 7yrs things about the pc as well which is helping him in school

I started this course with knowing nothing about computers but now I know something. If I need any explanation on any qustion, the way the tutors will explain, is fantastic, and excellent. They will break it into pieces and pick them one by one and explained
It's very good. That has make me have excellent result today.I give them thanks.

I have resumed my studies in mid February after a few months break. At that time I was doing the old version of N+. My tutors informed me of new course, so with their consultation I opted the latest version of N+.
Studying under my present circumstances is very difficult for me. I have the responsibility of looking after a demanding 1 year old child. My husband is a doctor & has busy commitments in the hospital. Therefore I have to look after my baby, my house, do all the cooking & cleaning & the necessary shopping without any help. My child has difficulty in sleeping so I have to spend sleepless nights with her. Recently my child also remained unwell due to her vaccination. I have my family & friends in the UK who often visit me & I usually find myself entertaining them. In such a situation I managed to take time out of my busy schedule & study 2 hours a day. Despite the above mentioned difficulties I managed to score excellent results obtaining 100% in 6 assignments & 90% in 1 assignment. During the short period of 1 month I completed 8 units out of 10. This in itself is a big achievement.
I think under my circumstances my achievements have been extraordinary by giving the exceptionally excellent results.

Hi there, my name is Rahat Ali. I am a new student at skills train, studying the MSCA programe. When I first started the programe, I found that I was extremly unfamiliar with the type of eperience I had in my past career of studies. I chose the training programe so that I could enter a different type of working environment and improve my prospects for the future. I do believe that I did not have as much self esteem in myself when I first started. After going through my assignments and studying hard, my esteem grew and made me much confident on taking on the whole course. Today I am so glad that I did not break down to giving up on this course. After submitting only 2 TMA's I achieved an excellent result of 93% on both. I was extreremly pleased with the outcome which boosted me further in to the course. The more time I spent studying, the more I found that I finally found something which I enjoy doing, something which I was searching for years. I realise that my results May not be as good in my coming assignments, but I have full confidence that I can make it to the top! Thanks ever so much team.

When I started my Skillstrain course I knew it would be hard for me to keep studying regularly due to the fact that I had a full time job and that I also worked weekends. The only time I can really study is on the weekends before I start my weekend job at 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.Although I have little time to study I have managed to gain some great results and I hope that I can continue to utilise my time efficiently and get my qualifications.

Since I started to do this course I find it much easy dealing with problem and troubleshooting when they occur with my computer and my friend laptop, she was actually amaise of how I was improving.
I must really give thanks to the college for making this possible and I hope to keep my grades always high.
thank you :Godwin

I LOST MOTIVATION LAST YEAR DUE TO ROUND THE CLOCK CHILD CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER. I HAD DONE PART A OF THE COMPTIA A+ AND HAD JUST RECEIVED THE COURSE OUTLINE FOR PART B WHEN I DECIDED TO PACK IT IN AND LOOK FOR WORK INSTEAD. AFTER 2-3 MONTHS LAY OFF, I FOUND A NEW ENTHUSIASM FOR MY WORK AND DECIDED TO PURSUE THE PROGRAMME AFTERALL, I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF QUITING, OR SHIRKING MY RESPONSIBILITIES. SINCE THEN, I HAD COMPLETED PART B AND HAVE MOVED ON TO PART C WITH VERY GOOD PERCENTAGES ALBEIT I HAD A FEW RE-SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS TO DO. I HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK SINCE THEN, IT IS GETTING MORE INTERESTING, WITH THE HOUSEHOLD CHALLENGES BEFORE ME.

During March I attened a practical session in Luton, and I put into practice what I have been learning. This gave me a lot of confidence to know that I can do what I have learnt, also it helped me to figure out what was wrong with my own computer because I came across the fault while I was working on putting the practice computer together. I also had the chance to ask any questions and get to know the tutors, who were very helpful and answered my questions. Also after I had completed the practical session the following week I helped my grandad work his new dell laptop, and configure my friends wireless connection. I was able to do this because I had attened the practical session and made mistakes and learnt from them.

In December I Started a new job which involved learning a whole new computer system, with high quality driven targets in my new role of Fleet Engineer for a very larger vehicle rental company which is a small part of a very well known international company, I have still managed to submit my TMA's and study. My out look on life is there are never any problems only challenges.

I am currently 3/4 of my way through A+, N+, CCNA and CCNP things have been getting me down recently as I can hardly walk any more and just waiting on further surgery. Anyways enough of the depressing stuff, I think if I didnt have my course work to keep my mind off things as this is a major career move from being in HMS Army to hopefully Networking I dont know where I would be. It keeps me focused on better things to come and it certainlly is a challenge at times but very rewarding when your results come back. So here is to being positive and looking forward to finishing mu course.

When I started the A+ course, I knew absolutely nothing about computers. Since studying now for 2 years, in which time my wife and I have had a baby boy and also had an extension built onto our house. In September last year I built my own PC from parts ( Motherboard, graphics card, 320gb hard drive, Intel Pentium D CPU and fan etc).

I have since installed Windows Vista and upgraded our modem to an Ethernet one.

I hope this qualifies me as Student of the month.

I have only recently become a member of student world and skills train and I think that the help that I have recieved so far for my course and TMA's has been brilliant and has really helped me I have just submitted my first TMA for the forth time and I now think that I have successfully completed it thanks to the teaching department.

I AM MANAGING CONSISTNETLY HIGH MARKS DESPITE BEEN IN CHRONIC PAIN
AND LOOKING AFTER MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER (I AM A SINGLE PARENT )

After studying the A+ part of the course, I passed CompTIA's A+ Certification 1st attempt, this was quite an achievement for me having previously had only a very rudimentary grasp of the inner workings of the PC. Subsequently I began studying the N+ course material, it was considerably harder than the A+ material for me as I really had no clues regarding networking, other than being able to set up a simple network at home to share the internet connection between 2 machines.
I had an accident which immobilised me for quite some time and it took me a long time to rehabilitate to the point of being able to sit in a chair and use the computer. I was worried I'd not be able to finish the N+ coursework, but thankfully you allowed me to continue, even though it had been a long time since I'd submitted any assignments. I am presently studying for N+TMA 03, my marks for the 1st two TMAs were 100% and I aim to continue at this standard.

Due to this course, I have been the leader in first time fixes since October 2006. I am currently part of a Team of 1st and 2nd Line Support Technicians, but due to the skills I have been learning via this course, I have been promoted to our Internal Support Team, so not only will I be supporting external customers, I will now be supporting my previous Team.

I am a CCNA student and a mother of two. I graduated from Chemical Engineering in Aug 2004.I got married in September and came to the UK with my husband who is a fulltime student in Sep 2004. I found out about Skillstrain and decided to change my career. At first , I found it very hard studing my new career, especially when I had not a single idea about I.T, but Skillstrain made it easier for me and much more exciting.I completed the A+ and N+ part A of the course and now I am studing part B of the course.
Before 3 months ago we moved our home and I had my son there, and since then I am finding it almost impossible to study and to take care of my children and do the house work at the same time. My older daughter is 21 months old and she is a very busy girl, I cant possible study when she is around.When I had my son I was thinking seriously to quit my course but I realised that it wont affect anyone but me. About a month ago I encoureged myself to get on with it and started to study. I am now in unit 6 of the N+ part B and I am looking forward to take my examinations.
I would like to thank my Tutor team for being very helpfull and also to thank my husband who is helping me with my course meterial and encoureging me to go further.
