Network Engineer (N+) Course Certification Reviews
In the last month I have found it difficult to concentrate 100% on my course as I have found out my nana is dieing of cancer. Throughout this time I have been traveling 60 miles from Worksop to Manchester and then back every weekend and Yet I have managed to successfully send in two tutor marked assignments and achieve a score of 100% on both I have also sent off my third assignment and awaiting the results which I hope to achieve 90% or higher. I am using this hard time of my life to push myself to achieve something with my life, The last month has been hard but I feel proud of my achievments.

Since starting my course on 24th January I have submitted and passed all assignments on the Comptia A+ up to TMA 5 with 2 at 100% and a miniumum pass of 87%. I have recently submitted TMA number 5 and I am working towards TMA 6 already.

I used to be the kind of person who needs reminding to do something. But now, I can lift myself and motivate myself to read and do the tutor marked assignments. Ever since I started education, I needed a person to be present and tell me what to do next. Coming over that and getting used to communicating by email or telephone and achieving the necessary outcome (learning) is one of my biggest achievement.

Started the course thinkin that its so hard and that I was wasting my time, until I did my first exam, I did not get the mark I was aiming for but it still passed and now I am COMPTIA A+ certified thanks to skills train.

TRYING TO BLEND MY REALLY BUSY LIFE WITH THE COURSE WORK IS NOT EASY AT ALL. I WORK 7 DAYS NOW; 5 DAYS WITH HONDA CAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND WEEKENDS WITH McDONAL'S RESTAURANT. I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD WHO REALL DEMANDS MY ATTENTION DAILY. SINCE JANUARY, I DEVOTED 2 HRS IN THE MORNING FOR STUDIES BEFORE WORK (I.E. 4 AM - 6 AM) AND IT'S ACTUALLY HELPING ME CONTINUE MY COURSE WORK. I HAVE SUBMITTED 3 ASSIGNMENTS IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS AND I AM HAPPY WITH THIS ACHIEVEMENT.
THANK YOU.

Doing a PhD and an IT course at the same time is no easy task and I feel very proud that while pushes the limits with my research work I have still been able to move through the work in this course at a very fast pace.
Also I feel very happy that my performance has remained consistenetly above 90% throught all the TMAs I have submitted so far.

I have completed TMA 8. I work as a chef, full time, generally doing a 55-60hr work week. I am in the middle of a divorce and dont get to see my children. I use a 3year old lap top the is in serious need of replacement but cant afford. I belive I have worked through a fair bit of adversity just to get this far and will continue to study hard to gain a career in the IT industry.

I completed the compTIA A+ Exam last October 2006. I felt a great sense of pride, that after years of not studying I could have accomplished such a feat.
Now I have my own IT business and I am continuing to study with Skills Train towards my CCNA qualification.

It is surprising how at times things turn out to be. I had no knowledge about the computer. I only used the computer to write my essays and print them out, that was it. Every time I encountered the problems i.e. pressing a wrong burton and the work is lost, rebooting, I had to call my dean of studies who used to help me. Then one day, I was running late with the deadline the following and I stayed late at night to finish writing up the work. I did not put the margins properly and it could not print. Being late, I could not call for help. I was really disheartened and nearly got depressed. Then it came to my mind that, if I knew the computer, I would not be in this terrible messy as I would know the problem and work at it. So in December, 2004, I received a leaflet at my door concerning the computer studies. I was afraid to call but after a few days, I gathered the courage and called. Within few days I was told something was visiting me. I was given a test to see at which level I was in the computer, and I said, I only know how to open and close the computer and write essays on it and print them out. The tutor was understanding. When I first receied the first lessaon, it was a little bit hard and almost gave up. But the fear of calling someone whenever, I encountered the problem was a driving force. Now I am enjoying the course and I am happy that I started it.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE:
Do not get discouraged you can do it. Believe in yourself and know that there are others who have had the feeling you are experiencing. Reading through other people's stories, was great encourgement. It is good to share our experiences that is when you discouver that you are not alone. The tutors are very understanding and stand by your side all the way through.
I am not on TMA 10 and have got the momentum to go on till the end.
If others can then you can too. For "where there is a will, there is a way."

I have been studying the A+ course for just 2 weeks and I have already completed Section 1 Part A and am currently waiting for Part B. I do not have that much time to study considering that I currently work in a demanding, responsible job managing a corporate car hire account for Asda which is a big test for me at the same time. The position is about to end but it has really shown me what I am capable of; to manage this course and the job at the same time.
-Adam
I have learnt and acheieved more about the ins and outs of the networking side of computers. more detail of the building and maintenace side of computers. and I hope to achieve my goals in this course work.
-David
I managed to push myself finally to focus more on finishing the course well prepared for the exam. It's quite difficult for me as I have been working on a shift basis since I started the course. Apart from that English is not my native language so I struggled really recently to keep submitting last TMA's. But I feel now more focused know to complete CISCO TMA's quicker and with even more in-deep study.
-Marek
I HAVE COMPLETED 3 ASSINGMENTS AND WORKING THE BEST I CAN TO DO THE REST I WILL START MY NEXT ASSINGMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND SEND BY STUDENT WORLD. HOPE I WIN
-Tashan
I have accelerated with my course and that too without compromising with the results.
