Network Engineer (N+) Course Certification Reviews
I have just recently started to study again after many year. I have a 7 month old baby and I work almost 7 days a week and I found it hard at first.
I decided to set myself a target to how much I would study in the first week I set my self a target of 1 hour a day as I did not have the time.
As time went on I kept setting myself targets but did not meet them until recently.
This month I am proud to say that I have met all the targets I set myself and I now study around 3 hours a day it was hard at first and it took a while for me to get where I am today being busy with the baby and work. I feel I have achieved a great deal this month and I actually look forward to comming home from work and sitting down and I enjoy the 3 hours of learning every day.
If anybody ever tells you that you cant do anything in life they are wrong and I am glad to say that people who said to me that studying would be a waste of time and cost to much I can now prove them wrong as I am really achieving something that I never though I would do it took lots of hard work and patients but I finally got there
Thanks

If student of the month is to reward students that have achieved academically above expectations then there is no one how could say honestly that I do not merit this award. You see when I was 4 years old I was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and was told that I would never be abele to go to a mainstream school never mind college university complete the A+ with goals of completing the MCAS. Why should I be student of the month? Well if that's not enough I've never had less than 70% on any of the tutor marked assessments and have an average of 90%. that is why I should be student of the month.

I moved to the UK in 2004 from Zimbabwe and l had never had access to a computer.This was my second asignment and did exptionally well.l worked very hard at my job at the hospital this month but l always stole a few minutes to read my notes.
l feel very confident and l have a belief now that everything is possible and surely l deserve something this month because l worked everyday and at times double shifts in January expect on 25 janauary 2007.
l have also given up drinking to concerntrate on my new course and new year resolutions.
This confirms l am ON TRACK SO FAR!!!

After having a motorcycle accident in April '06 I am unlikely to be able to resume my old job as a storeman. So in November I started with Skilstrain to try to retrain for an IT job. I started on the A+2003 syllabus and did the first 5 assignments (scoring average 92%) but then switched to the 2006 syllabus. After a slow period over christmas I have picked up the pace and done the first 10 assignments on the new syllabus (average 100%). I am enjoying the course immensely and learning new stuff everyday about the same computers I've been using for ages (but not able to maintain properly until now).

High % pass rate. active on logging in. Learned patience, espeically waiting for assingments to be marked. Same time as doing this course I have found the time to go back into linux coding and writing irc help files.

Life is a competition. Is like never end story and I am the hero. Learning something new in this field every day is like a big step forward.
I gain confidence and self-respect and the most important fact is, I try every day to do more then yesterday. Is like an addiction of knowledge. I hope that one day I will transform my story into a legend.

I have been very pleased with my results this month after under going a cornea graph on my right eye and been in some extreme pain with my eye. it as been frustrating only been able to study for short periods because I have been limited to the amount I can read and it as been hard to concetrate too.
on top of this I have still to hold my job down and look after my young family.
I never expected the result I have had, as I have found the n+ part of my course a little difficult at times, but I have had some great help from my tutors.
-Stefan
My achievement this month have been the scoring of a 100% in each of my TMA's for the A+ Essentials section 1 part B (2006 Objectives) course. This I consider significant because 5 months ago I knew nothing about computers and did not even have an e-mail address because it all looked too complicated for me. Now after enrolling with Skillstrain I feel motivated and encouraged to enrol for a degree course in IT after my training with Skillstrain. This is coupled with the fact that I work over 10 hours a day from Wednesday to Monday with only a day off. Now I have been able to upgrade the RAM memory and the HDD of my pc after over just 3 months of enrolling with the college and I feel I can do in no time.
Thank you.

For a few years I had be toying with the idea of studying for formal IT qualifications but kept putting it off. Finally I took the plunge and booked the A+, N+ and MCSE course. Having owned a computer from the early days of ZX81's and Spectrums, I have always had an interest in how they work and thougt I had a good understanding of them.
Little did I know just how much more involved PC's can be and what needs to be learnt in order to do my chosen career path. Although I am only part way in to the course, I find I have already learnt a lot more than what I expected. In order that I didn't mess up my computer trying the different things I was learning, I decided to buy a job lot of used pc's and spares from Ebay.
With over 600 different parts available I am now able to learn what each component does, the different types and how to test with hands on experience. This has only been possible by having the spares to use. I would strongly recommend to anyone, that if they can, do what I have done and buy yourself some spares to practice on. Like me, you will then be able to achieve more in your training and gain a lot more from the excellent training provided by Skillstrain.

Thanks to this course, during this month I have managed to rebuild three friends computers to working order as well as an older one for my self, despite knowing nothing about computers when I left school. Last week I had my car stolen and even with sorting out insurance and trying to find another car I have still managed to keep reletively on time with all of my course work.

I am a father of 3 and recently immigratted in the UK. I work 12-17 hours a day and 5-6 days a week to meet the household expenditur as well as 3 children education hence I have little or no time to study my course materials so I have to study during my holidays and break times. Since the English language is not my mother language hence I have to repeat some sentences several times to understand them. Any way I am happy because I have achieved full marks for few times and avarage is 90+. Because of time factor I have far behind the schedule so I often thinking of give up but I am still hanging and hopping achieve my MCSA/MCSE dream. I found the Skill Trains course materials are very useful and presented in simple form to understand easily and good way of motivation to the tutor and students.
Whenever I achieve MCSA/MCSE I am sure I am going to take CISCO SYSTEM and WEBDESIGNING course as my second dream.
Thanking you for taking it for considerations and your motivation.

Eversince I started this course I have managed to build my own computer which I have managed to Windows XP OS and its faster computer than the one I bought in town when I started the course.The other thing I am happy with is being able to do hexadecimal conversions which I didn't know.I am very excited with the level I have reached now,where everything about OS and BIOS is being unvailed
-Stanley
I started the cisco course in summer 2005 but had a lot of time spent working away and doing nothing with the course. It was only when I was told I get payed that I woke up. I enjoy using computers and love a challenge, reason I'm up to go the full track with this course. I as askd if it was money that made me want to do that little bit more but I can honestly say no. I just want to acheive that little bit more and if the better job comes along I can say I earned it. and I hope everyone that does the courses offered on the skillstrain gets up and goes with it. please don't think my job will do it if it doesn 't.

First of all I want to say that since I started this course Last year I found it very interesting from day to day because it makes me very busy anb gives me the will to search and increase my knowledge in IT and I every time I submit an assignement and get the successfull result in pushs me more to work harder and with self confidence, evn if I always come back very tired from work but I still find the energy to study. Two week ago a freind of mine called because he bought a new PC but he didn't know how to use it and how to install some programs and to organise his files and desk top so I did help him and I was very happy because it was a agood practise for me and gave me a self confident to practice what I gained from the course.
