I get very frustrated with myself that I seem to take so long before putting in a TMA but ..I'm still going and am really proud of myself that I have achieved 2 x 80% and 1 x 90% marks! and I'm still doing the course!

I am working really hard on my studies, most of my free time after work I spend on studiing. I have to say I enjoy every bit of it. I achieved excelent Results from tests, which are 100%, 80%, 90%, 83%, 100%, which are the last most common. Now I can say I am able to make easier type of Web Sites and I can explain how internet works, and many more. Even if I will not win this competation I can say that slowly but surely I feel as a winer of planty knowledge, thanks to you.

I've had to put my course on hold for almost a year, because I had just given birth to a baby girl and my husband had to leave for 7 month to Iraq... I didn't think that those circumstances would allow me to dedicate myself properly to the course. At the beginning of the new year, I resumed my course. I get up every morning at 7am to study for a couple of hours before my baby wakes up... I have studied the first few weeks for nothing, as I found out that you had sent me the wrong study material... I felt so disheartened and gutted and wanted to stop the course. I eventually got the right study material sent out to me and I have been working really hard on it for the last couple of weeks and managed to submit already two TMA's with excellent results. I am very proud of myself that I made the effort to resume my course after a long and sometimes difficult break with my husband being away in a dangerous place

Hi, this course is alot harder than I expected, I'd done a OCR Level 1 for IT Users (New CLAIT) a few years ago, (As then my Colombian wife wanted me to get a job in IT), but now divorsed, I want it for myself, also working full time, and lots of things happening in my life I am very pleased with the progress I have made, I've not got top marks yet, and I've got to re-submit TMA 3, I am finding more time to study as this course means alot to me and my future, thanks.

Hello.Before this course I didn't know how computer works out.I knew only the way how to use it in internet but I haven't clue what it is.I asked my friends to help me with some problems which I used to get from internet because I didn't understand what realy to do with this things.One day they said that I should learn some basic about computers and not disturb them.Once my computer has got down I felt awkward to ask my friends to help me out with problems.This was the first step why I have chosen computer course.So far I achived a lots of things how to use my machine in right ways and how to work out with any problems.Second step.My mind was thinking about to get better job.Now I've got a good job but not enough for me.I mean there is good money but hard job.Other way I will leave this country and try to find some job back in Russia.I think that this course will help me to find out my financial problems back in Russia.The last step. I try to prove myself and my friends that I can do on computer evrything without them help.Now I can speak with them much better than it was too.I understand everything what they says about programs ,internet conection,outlook express,mark up languages,modeling,processors and other staff which make them amazement.I proud that I have chosen this course. Everything what I typed a here was achiving from youth course.Thank you for a big suport in this hard job wich you are doing for us.

This month I have achieved my highest grade so far . I also built my first computer with self taught knowledge ,I was really pleased when I booted it up for the first time . Im on the last part of my first book now and I cant wait for the next one .I work two jobs one full time and one part time so finding the time to study can be tough but its worth it when I get the letter with my latest results ...

I managed to continue with my course despite devastating news that my father in law died before christmas .Wasn't able to go to the funeral as held in New Zealand due to finances/time off in the job I am at present.Felt depressed to continue but pulled myself around to pursue a better career and life for me and my family.

EDUCATION HAS BEING MY GREATEST SOURCE OF INSPIRATION, THOUGH I HAD MY PRELIMINARY EDUCATION IN NIGERIA. I LOST MY DAD WHILE I WAS PREPARING FOR MY PRIMARY SCHOOL LEAVING CERT. EXAM, BUT INSPITE OF THE TENTION @ THAT TIME, I MANAGED TO SAT FOR THE EXAM AND EVENTUALLY I PASSED ALL MY PAPERS. I LATER GOT ADMISSION INTO SECONDARY SCHOOL WHEN MY RESULTS CAME OUT. AFTER ALL THESE EVENTS, THAT IS, WHEN I STARTED MY SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION I NOW BEGIN TO FEEL THE IMPACTS OF LOOSING ONES FATHER, NOT EVEN @ THE TENDER AGE OF 11 YRS OLD. INITIALLY, I WAS VERY ENCITED FOR THE JOY OF GOING TO SECONDARY SCHOOL, MEETING NEW FRIENDS AND FACING NEW SPHERE OF LIFE. FOR A WHILE I MANAGED TO COPE, BECAUSE I HAVE TO WALK A DISTANCE OF 3KM TO AND FRO BEFORE I GET TO MY NEW SCHOOL, SOMETIMES WITHOUT FOOD. AS TIME WENT ON I WAS DISCOURAGED BECUASE THERE WAS NOBODY TO TURN TO FOR HELP OR ADVICE, I WAS JUST ON MY OWN, USING MY OWN INITIATIVES TO MAKE DECISIONS. BUT @ THE LONG RUN I FINISHED MY SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION(SSE) WITH LITTLE OR NO HELP FROM ANYBODY EXCEPT MY MUM. HOWEVER, WHILE I WAS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL I HAD A VISION OF BECOMING A GREAT AND EDUCATED PERSON IN LIFE. WHEN I FINISHED MY SSE IN 1994, I HAVE TO WORKED FOR ALMOST 3 YRS TO RAISE MONEY TO FURTHER MY EDUCATION. AND IN 1998 I GOT AN ADMISSION INTO ONE OF THE PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES IN AFRICA (OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY, ILE-IFE, OSUN STATE, NIGERIA). I STUDIED GEOGRAPHY AND GRADUATED IN 2003/2004 ACADEMIC SESSION WITH 2.2. NOW I HAVE B.Sc DEGREE IN GEOGRAPHY. AND TODAY I AM DOING CIW WEBSITE DESIGN MNGR COURSE FOR A CHANGE OF CAREER AND ALSO TO BOOST MY CHANCE OF GETTING A BETTER JOB. SINCE I HAVE STARTED THIS COURSE THINGS HAVE NOT BEING SO EASY FOR ME, BECUASE I CAN'T IMAGINE MYSELF COPING WITH THE STRESS OF WORK, MY FAMILY ( I AM MARRIED WITH ONE CHILD, EXPECTING THE SECOND ONE IN MARCH), ALL MY BILLS AND IN PARTICULAR THE COURSE FEES. BUT I ALWAYS BELIEVE IN THE PHILOSOPHY THAT NOTHING GOOD COMES SO EASY; YOU HAVE TO STRIFE FOR IT. DESPITE ALL THESE FACTORS I MANAGE TO GO ON IN THIS PROGRAM. NOW I JUST SUBMITTED MY ASSIGNMENT 07, WHICH MAKES ME SO HAPPY BECAUSE I KNOW IN A SHORT TIME AM GOING TO FINISH THE COURSE. APART FROM THE FACT THAT I 'M IN LESSON 06, AM VERY PROUD THAT I CAN EVEN DESIGN A WEBSITE ON MY OWN.
