Web Designer (CIW) Course Certification Reviews
I have just recieved the results for my fifth TMA submitted inside a month as to which I recieved a 2nd 100% mark. The results that I recieved this month was 100%, 75%, 83%, 95%, and 100%.
I have been working really hard and will be doing so until the course is complete.

Whilst working full time as a nurse and suffering from chronic back pain. I have continued my course studying hard and getting fairly good results. I am determined that this spinal disorder will not hinder my success in the world of IT.

Having done tma 2 and got 60% was told to redo it, after I was ready to do tma3, I forced my self to stay awake till 1am at night to do it to avoid further delays even though I am a single mum of 2 under 9 years old,I have to work in the morning and it is my birthday I should be out celebrating, but my future is worth staying awake for as the rest of my years will be the best.

In completing the first Section in this course, I now can have an intellectual discussion with the IT Web designer at my school about networking, and website design. I have indeed impressed some of my colleagues. As well I finally feel comfortable teaching IT to my primary school children. Before, when teaching an IT lesson,I used to call in the 'IT' guy to assist when problems occurred. Now, I am able to help the children when problems arise. I have also managed to keep increasing my score on my tests with a higher average each section I complete. I jump up and down each time I get 100%. I feel like I have achieved a great deal in the past few months and I feel the rewards.

I have achieved a lot since I have put my heart in to this course, I have learnt how to type faster on the computer, I have learnt all the abbreviation codes such as, WWW,HTTP,TCP/IP,HTML.ETC. I had no idea at all at the begin of the course, since I been reading my text book going online reading, I can say I have achieved a lot thank you skilltrain. I need more of your encouragement by giving me more assignment because I gain more through assignment. Thank you I know every soon I am going to become an expect in wedmaster.

I only started my Web Master course in January, so I haven't been doing it very long, although I am amazed at what I have learned up till now. I am 42 years old and never thought I would ever be a student again. Up till March everything was going smoothly. My marks for my assignments have been excellent and I'm really pleased with myself.
At the begining of March my partner took ill and was rushed into hospital, he had to go through major surgery, my course was the last thing on my mind. However I would still take my books out after visiting at night, but was just totally brain dead, I couldn't take anything in at all. Still I kept at it and read over and over again. Somehow one night it just all clicked into place, I finished my 1st Java assignment and was amazed when I got 100 per cent. My partner is now home and has 6 months at home to recover before returning to work. I'm still finding it hard just now, trying to fit in my studies with being a full time nurse at home and have thought about packing it in, but I haven't come this far just to end it all because things are difficult at home.
I would like to thank the team for all their help throughout my course and for giving me the confidence to continue.

Following the difficulties of family bereavement, illness and a change of job, I had fallen well behind in my studies. I have experienced many difficulties especially having to backtrack over work that I had done previously because of having been out of studies for some time. Whilst I am still having difficulties, I am managing to work through my course and am still attempting to fit in with the extra work and personal committments. Motivation was at an all time low after Christmas but I have been able to pull myself through and am now managing regular studies again.
-Stephen
I GOT 93% IN MY LAST TMA!!! WHILE WORKING AND DOING LOTS OF OVERTIME! I WAS SURPRISED AS I THOUGHT THIS TOPIC WAS QUITE TECHNICAL (TMA6) AND I THOUGHT I WOULD STRUGGLE -I AM VERY PLEASED WITH MY RESULT

I DID FIND IT HARD AS I DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER AT HOME WITH INTERNET ACESS I HAVE TO GO TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE. BUT I AM PUTTING IN THE EFFORT AND PASSING TESTS AND IM PROUD FOR THE CHANGE IN DIRECTION.

When I decided to leave university because my partner needed someone to be there all the time to care for her, I didn't know what I was going to do until I came across skills train. Now I can work from home and still look after my partner. I'm working my way through the sections and I think I'm picking it up quiet well. Although I'm not quiet hitting 100% but not far behind. Once I have finish this course I'm hoping to set a business up from home. Skills Train have been brilliant for me as I thought my career was finished at just the age of 22, but now I can look forward to a long career in an area in which I love.

Every now and again you come across a truly remarkable student, you're just sat down staring at the text on a computer screen when all of a sudden you realize something. You don't know exactly where the feeling comes from or what it is but you feel that you have to give this person some kind of reward.
I have completed my first tutor marked assignment with and epic score of 90% on the first try.
-Jay
I started my CIW course in med Feb hoping to start a new career in I.T with no idea about web designing. And when I saw html, xhtml it was just blah blah blah to me, now with the help of my teachers and the way the folders are laid out I'm coming to understand it day by day I know I have along way to go yet but I feel that I've achieved a lot since I have started.
-Ergun
I have always kept up a good standard throughout my course. I work hard and believe the work that I have put in so far, even though I have 2 jobs at the moment far exceeds expectation, and the pc would greatly enhance my potential to become web designer.

I have started this course for future planning. I am full time mum of two beautiful angels, who kept me busy all day long. I am a house wife and did not ever want to disturb my family. This always being my first priority. But with that I could not stop thinking of doing something good in the education field. I have done a graduation before but not ever touched computer. But I love to know about the computer in depth. So I decided doing something in it. As I knew nothing about it, I took this course because I could do it from home and wanted to have a good knowledge in the field. Honestly this institute is a blessing for the people who can not go out. The tutor team just make you feel like students, doing there work, and in case of help,the helpful tutor is there to help us. Wow it is amazing. A very big advantage of it is that I can go any where without loosing my track and help from the tutors. I found it difficult to concentrate in start. But then I realised that every word of it is important to understand. So I will call it really concentration lectures. I am really happy with my course structure. I am hopeful that studying from home is not a problem for me, another good point for me in this course.
I need to go out of the country for my childs education. But I was worried about my education too. But I am back on track again actually better then I was doing before.

I've just completed my course and get the result of my last assignment it took me over a year to do the course and now I'm prepare myself to take exams. I've gained lots of knowledge during this time day by day and used it whenever possible to help friends. Last month I set up a network for my friend's small business and everything worked well,I also helped him to have a beter designed website for his business. It's really great to have knowledge and use them to help people. Thank you

I have just completed an NVQ Level 4 in Management in under three months as well as studying for this course. I have a full time job and find that time management is very important to allow for all study material to be completed on time. Having your pc fail is a major disadvantage as happened last week however I have sourced a temporary one for the time being. This part of the course is the real bread and butter of the whole course and is why I started this subject.
-Allen
It seems to me that all students should do this. The reason why I do this? I work 6 days a week now and I have to support a family as well as try to fit in a course I REALLY want to do. It's hard because some days I only get around 4 hours sleep and I have to share the computer with the family.
-Kelly
My achievment of this mounth is really good. I achieve 100% result of my last three TMA. I found some difficulties in my studies, I called my tutor and they helped me. I am glad to have this course, I have told all my friends about skills train . I reccomend all those people who do not like going out and can not go out and learn, get on the skills train.
I was one of them, Who came from other counteries and do not have any carrier. I called the skills train and they helped my to make my carrier.

My achievements so far I am personally proud of I feel I have learnt so much so far and I now have a greater understanding of computers I now help my brother when on the computer and what I have learnt I am now the one to fix the computer when things go wrong and feel confident about it, my computer is now secure and hey I now know what a computer cookie is silly I know but I have always wanted to know and now I do, I am confident that I will do well in the future as I feel I am already doing well with my course as well as having a full time job and looking after alot of animals too! all my TMA results are all 95% and above which is my target, I feel these are very good achievements and would love to get a reward and especially as my computer is a little out of date and I have to share it and would like very much to have a computer of my own to finish my course on and know my brother wont sabotage any of my hard work.

I have been enjoying the new part of the course with the website programming.
Unfortunatly my laptop decided to break down on me; it had to be completly re installed and I lost everything. I had to do my website again (so I'm pretty ok with the coding now) and re type all my case studies/application projects. luckily I have caught up now. The biggest thing I have learned this month is that it is so so so so important to back up your work!
Thank you.
