SkillsTrain Reviews from Students

Working under pressure via going to college plus doing this course and achieving better results than I use to get, Havnt had to be resubmitted for a very long time with this course.

Top 

I started this course last year and have got much better marks than I expected with only having a couple of resubmissions and restarting the course to do the 2006 objectives, which was worth starting again as this is more tecnical, At 52 yrs old and learning is possible harder than when you are young I am surprised that I am copeing so well and getting such good marks for my work

Since arriving in Scotland I have been trying desperately seeking employment,which is in the Mechanical field. After taking over 25 twentyfive interview, I guess that was not working.Got home one day found the leaflet under the door and decide to apply to SkILLSTRAIN.At present I'm doing Computer course.It has been years since I have study, and to start with somethng outside my field I thought the task was a big one but I was wrong.
It was difficult at first to concentrate,but after listening to the advice of the tutor, and decide to focus on my goals and objectives, I have been studing so often that I have completed the first part of my course 2006 objectives 1-A Presently I am soing revision awaiting the other part of the course.

Getting over 90s in my assignments even though some assignments like assignment 03 was challenging I still did it and got through with it with a tight schedule including work which seems to take up all my time.

Although I have just submitted my second assignment.I did very well in the first assignment.gaining 100%.reflecting on it now,yes there are some people who would have sailed through it in a day.I had no knowlage of IT when I started.I didn,t even know what IT stood for.all I could do was turn on the computer and type my name. having been a chef for over twenty years this is quite a big thing for me.so I feel very proud to have got such a high mark.I have never been so determined about acheiving something as this before.even at this early stage I am excited about what the future holds for me.cheers big ears.

Since joining Skills Train my assignment marks have been good I never thought that I had the intelligence to get this far. I never thought I would have the patience to sit and do a course but I feel the way Skills Train as laid out the course makes it easier to grasp and understand..May I take this opportunity to thank you all at Skills Train....

Then at 45, and with a first degree in Mathematics and Statistics but without any knowledge at all in Computing, I felt I was being left behind in this Computer era. I therefore took a courageous decision to do a degree course in Computing to become abreast with the times. Accordingly, in September 2004, I enrolled at the Peterborough Regional College to do a three-year degree course in Computing and Information Systems.
Suddenly finding myself among students who already knew well beyond the basics in computing, I realised the enormity of the task that lay ahead of me. I have had to work extremely hard to be able to move along at the pace at which the class has been moving. And I have had to combine this with part-time work. Though I have a family, the rest of the members are not here with me and this means that all other errands have had to be run by myself. It has not been easy at all but I'm persevering.
Now at 47 and in the final year of the degree course (finishing in June 2007), I still feel I need more consolidation of the concepts in order to build more confidence, hence my decision to enrol onto this course, which appears to me to have a considerable element of practicals.
I'm still under pressure from the degree programme but I'm managing my time appropriately to be able to conveniently take this course alongside. So far I'm moving on well and enjoying it.

I probably need to be a student for a while to get this, well I just started my ccna I have previously done a course on management of information systems. I got married in kenya just in December 2006 my wife is a full time student at leicester college hence she doesnt work thats why I have been force to take a home learning course so that I can continue with my work where I work as a support worker supporting three residents with learning disability, I do shift work so I try and do my work before or after work so far am doing well at it and managing though its tight on time as my wife doesnt work. I am getting on well with the course material provided and doing well with my TMA'S with the last one having scored 100percent. am giving it my best with the course and hope that I will sucessfully complete it.

During January I have managed to complete 5 TMAs for my course, while I have been juggling with a new job which is 12 hour days (6-6) on a rotating shift basis (including weekends). I have also been helping my fiancee's eldest daughter with her maths for school (has anyone seen the way they have to do it now?).
On top of this, my ex-wife has told me that my 2 daughters no longer want to see me, as I was unable to see them one weekend due to the hours of my new job, so it looks like I am now going to have legal bills pending for an access case.
Despite this I still made sure I carried on with my course, as I am looking at the bigger picture and know the qualifications I gain (N+ and CCNA) will lead to a better life for my family and myself.

Going back a couple of months ago I was offered a job with Star Internet working in a NOC however come this new year it didn't happen and they couldn't be bothered to reply to my emails, This of course has been a knock to my confidence with the thought of having to throw bags at the local airport for longer than I hoped, However after a holiday I threw myself back into my books revising for my final TMA on the N+ Course, this in turn has rebuilt my confidence back up and gets me through the days I have to do my current job.
It has also prompted me to carry on pursuing my dream job and instilled faith in me making a decision to pursue my career via skillstrain.

On 19 January 2007 my baby boy Boitumelo ( "The Most Appreciated One") was born. Months preceding the birth of the baby, I had to look after my wife, do a physically demanding job to support the family and pay for my CCNA course fees which I hope will help me get an IT job. During these preceding months and in January, I have been consistently submitting my assignments at a regular pace, scoring good grades. Since the birth of the baby delivered by Emergency C.S, I have had sleepless nights but I am even more motivated to finish my CCNA course sooner by consistently doing studies and submitting assignments weekly while still involved in doing all the other duies ,and looking after my wife and the baby. This birth has become another motivation for my success to ensure that my baby will have a secure future in a competitive world. After all his name suggests we should appreciate life and its challenges.

Recently made homeless due to cotract on house running out and having to find a new career, I have not only managed to get a job within the I.T industry but have managed to keep up with my studies

I work full time and also work on weekends to finance my skillstrain course. There is very little time in the evening I get to study and finish my assignments. I had to submit my assignments twice earlier and I decided that I will pass my assignments in the first time itself and after that I have not submit any assignment second time again. Then I set the target of submitting the assignment the same day when I would receive the result of the previous assignment and I am delighted to say that I have been able to do that. I have managed to achieve 100% a couple times as well. I really need a computer to help me study for the Cisco certification at home for which I currently go to the University IT lab, the reason why I am participating in this competition. I wish if this competition changes my life.

To be a Family man and Student at the same time is hard. Ialmost thought of giving up the course following the loss of my wife's job in NHS England and had to relocate to Scotland. Within a month when I am thinking things are about to settle down, my wife had a miscarriage and I had to concentrate in nursing her and taking care of my daughter whilst at the same time I had to sit for my MSc Exams in Computer Security & Auditing and submit assignments and CISCO need to be done...!! I have passed assignments and I am now back on track with CISCO......I am very Happy. I have also got a job to help a blind student to do his MSc Dessertation....!!!!
