Web Designer (CIW) Course Certification Reviews
I have done MCSA from this college and I am on the end phase of CIW, with the technique you have, I have learned so much in life and I am planning to stay with this college. I will be taking the Java or oracle course that you do. I have now got used to this method of learning. I work full time in a local supermarket but I am still able to learn new skills in the I.T world due to skillstrain-online. Thanks to skillstrain-online.

Since attending the learning styles live training sessions, I feel that I have learnt more and I am understanding things more due to writting more notes and creating record cards which outlines each syntax which helps me to remeber them. Hopefully this will show in my results which I feel are very high all the time.

I have always wanted to have a career in IT and skills train has been a life saver I never thought I could do it I just didn't know where to start from but now I'm in full control of what I really want to be and enjoy doing in life. Skills train friendly staff and tutors have helped me a lot to be able to be the person I am and realise my abilities they told me I could do it and they promised to be there all the way through out the course and I'm glad I made the right decision with skills train because good help is hard to find now I'm happy to know that I'm doing the right thing and I can proudly say I passed my first TMA with 100% and I can't wait to go through all the TMAs and finish the course and start working I would like to thank skills train for making it happen for me thank you.

I am study much harder, I am getting better at mark-up language but also I seem to be enjoying it more.I have faced some challenges in some of the tasks but finding solutions makes you learn better.
-Philip
I am consistently working hard on my work and getting the desired results.
This month was the first time I had to create a web page from scratch, I found it very straight forward, exciting and rewarding. Especially when making changes to the page and seeing the results right in front of me. This made the study (more) addictive
I couldn't put the book down!! Keep up the good work team!!!

I have passed my CIW v5. exam in the first attempt. I have got 2 children under 5 years. MY husband encouraged me to study. MY mum also helped me in looking after children. After a break in my carrer, I could pass my exam in the first attempt. I think that is my acheivement. I need to pass more exams.

I feel that I have gone forward with great pace in the last month, completing all of the Perl section( although struggling at times), and in the past seven days have completed the first CD in Server Administration in record time, and achieving a 100% grade into the bargain. Put all of this together with the very high marks in other previous tests that I returned. Thank You.

I have restarted my studying again and am committed to send in a TMA each week. I feel much more enthusiastic and want to finish my course, I have also been setting up a website for a small shop in my village and am applying the knowledge I am learning on this course. The shop owner is totally computer illiterate and I have installed his computer and printer, set up internet, and email. He is now able to surf the net and send and receive emails! Some other people have expressed interest in setting up a website and are keen for me to do it. This give me a real incentive to get on with my course.

I have increased the amount of TMA's I submit to nearly 3 a week. I have designed and coded my own wordpress blog. I now working with a company in America as support for a content management system which I am part of there online support team, helping people online if they are having problems with there sites running e107. I have also coded a new site of mine which I have been working towards for some time. I am pretty sure the sites I have done are Valid too, I should check again. I have gotten a boost in the last few weeks to get this course completed so I can move from working for myself to working for a real company with real prospects.
-Andrew
I have just recieved my result back from TMA 11a, which I thought I had messed up and was going to need to resubmit it, but I did not I got 100%. Which I am really happy about as I found the whole Perl section of the course really hard I have had to spent a lot of time studying this topic.
-Sarah
Having just moved to here from South Africa with very basic computer skills I have managed to keep this course going and pass the 1st 3 TMA's, continue my daily practice routine (I am a musician by trade)whilst I help paint the house and landscape the garden which includes removing rubble and debri do the shopping and walk the dog, I'm looking for a job on my days when I'm not studying or practicing, This is quite a juggling act and sometimes I just fall asleep from sheer exhaustion. But the next day I pick myself up.....brush myself off......and start all over again.
I'm very grateful to my mom and brother who support and encourage me to keep on going, as they both help to ease the burden when I'm feeling down or when I'm feeling insecure about my ability to do my course. And try to reassure me of my abilities and keep me focused.
I'm very grateful for there help.Thanks for your time.

Well most of all admitting that I am new to Skills Train, I feel that beginning this course with no I.T skills at all and now already after 2 to 3 weeks I am feeling alot stronger about my future goals and how the I.T world works.The biggest achievement to me , must be simply enrolling on a course with so much to offer.
-David
I believe that I have studied really hard this month to reach the position in the course that leaves me just one section to complete on the Server section, before moving on to Site Designer, which will be the final section in my course. In reaching this point, I feel that I have also gained good marks along the way. Thank you.
-Brian
Since I started this course in April 2005, I've learned more about computers, which I did not learn from other free evening classes. Now I am at the last book of the course(section 4-part B), which covers front page, dreamweaver, flash, fireworks, homesite, CSS, XHTML, DHTML, XML, perl and My SQL. I now know what employers are willing to pay for; I have more confident to apply for web design jobs online. I am also planning to build my own web site this web site is for anyone who want to buy a webpage and upload their ads or personal idea. Truetype will also build a full web site with support and maintenance. Learning web design has given me lots of ideas, in online business and I am planning to use my cartoonist skills to build a cartoon web site. This is the first website I built since I started this course.

Working under pressure and still managing to continue with the course work. I moved countries last year from UK to Australia, I was on my own with 3 kids for 3 months, moved houses twice in Australia. I now have managed to get a full time job with an internet company in Oz. I am still the primary carer and look after my house and kids, however I believe I am still achieving at least 80% pass rate on my coursework.
-Meenal
I installed and administered 3 wired and a wireless LAN consisting of 3 desktop PC and a laptop sharing a single ADSL (broadband) connection accessing the WWW at the same time without a problem. It's a great feeling to accomplished something really practical applying my learning from CIW course.
-Danilo
I have now completed the Perl course Web Languages Section 2 Part B. I am 53 and have never studied computer languages in my life. I hope to have a job as a web designer and have already linked up with a qualified established web designer and we are working on our first site using code only!

Over the last month a lot has happened that has placed me in a more comfortable position when it comes to IT and computer related operations. I studied Marketing in my Bachelor's degree and knew nothing about computers. I started this web developer course to give me an insight into what was involved in the computing discipline as I was also about to start my Masters degree in Computing and information systems. I have been able to attend my university programme to the end and graduate successfully without any need to rewrite any of my exams... this was my singular dream in school. I was able to keep working on my tutor marked assignments and coordinate it with my job (as a 1st line support staff) all this time, initially it seemed like a huge burden but now I'm used to it. With my masters degree now over, I know I can dedicate even more time to my ciw studies. The icing on the cake is that with all the work and qualifications so far, I have just been accepted on a permanent role in a better company to do a much better job in IT and for much more pay. I was overjoyed when the phone call came and the speaker informed me of my success at the interview, I kept asking, "are you sure?", because it still felt like a huge shock. I also have to say that my results have improved clearly in the TMAs, I would say that I have an average scoreline of about 95% as things stand now, but this was very shaky when I started the course.
I know I have gained a lot since I started this course, and the hands-on method of study has been of great help to me, especially over the past month.

I work as a manager in a Residential Care Home for young adults with mental health problems, and it can be very stressful for me at times combining studying with this job. But I think I am trying. I recently encouraged one of them to buy a laptop and he had a problem working around it. Though I haven't used the Windows Vista Opeating System before, I tried with my experience in Xp to help resole the problem. He now calls on me for any difficulty he encounters.
-Edem
Thanks to my course (Website Design Manager) I managed to design a website for pub-restaurant in Edinburgh.
-Lukasz
I now know what a website is and I now know how it operates and I have learnt how to develop the web through my course,I think doing this course has made me understand the function of the web.This course is so helpful with loads of things but the top one is that I can now do the things I like most being on the web business.
-Thabo
I have assisted my two relatives to use computers and apply several computer programmes (Word, Excel, Outlook) as I am well versed, after completing a ECDL course. I have also made tremendous achievements in my TMA grading(TMA01-90% and TMA02-100%) which is greatly attributed to my strong commitment to study the current course utilizing an excellent course materials provided by Skillstrain and continued support by the whole Skillstrain Management.
Thank you very much for inspiring me up to this stage and I am encouraging my friends and relatives to register with Skillstrain in the fields of their choices.
