Cisco Qualifications (CCNA/CCNP) Course Certification Reviews
I really think I have now come to terms of liking to study even more than before when I come back from work exhausted,I still manage to peruse through my lessons.I feel motivated when I speak with my tutor,because after helping me with my lessons,he still asks me for any further question.I work from Monday to Friday,but still do manage at least to understand most of my lessons I study that particular day/night.I think my performance hasn't been that bad as feared before.I would like thank all the tutors for their lovely help.

AM DOING A+ AS PART OF MY COURSE AND DURING THIS TIME HAVE ALOT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMPUTER MANTAINANCE SINCE I STARTED LEARNING WITH SKILLS TRAIN ,I EVEN MANAGED TO FIX MY HOME PC THAT WAS NOT PERFORMING WELL.I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARN MORE.
-Timothy
SINCE STARTING THIS COURSE I HAVE BEEN SO INVOLVED AND EXCITED BOUT THE MATERIAL I HAVE BEEN LEARNING. THIS I FIND QUITE OUT THE ORDINARY AS I HAVE HAD MY WORK CUT OUT, FIRST THE AU PAIR HAS BEEN QUITE ILL SO I HAVE HAD TO DO THE HOUSE HOLD CHORES AND LOOK AFTER MY 3 CHILDREN AND NORMAL WORK LOAD, PLUS I HAVE HAD MY WIFES SELF ASSESSMENT TO DO AS SHE HAS HER OWN CATERING BUSINESS. ON TOP OF THIS MY FATHER HAS HAD A STROKE TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF HIS BRAIN, I WAS QUITE UNSETTLED EMOTIONALLY AND DRAINED, BUT THIS COURSE HAS TAKEN MY MIND OFF MOST OF THE TEDIOUS DUTIES AND MY DAD SHOULD MAKE A FULL RECOVERY IN TIME. THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THIS COURSE IS NEW TO ME AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE REST, THANKYOU.
-Mark
Achieved outstanding TMA results that I wasnt expecting from reading through the manuals, even managed a high revision supplement mark. Plus, I have helped my brother in detecting viruses on his computer, something which I needed help with 5 years ago!! He likes to think he can manage these himself, but I showed him someone else is on hand just incase. Also, I feel as though Ive progressed nicely, engaging in sometimes longer than average sessions reading my course material.
Many Thanks!

I have managed to work really hard on this course and pass my assignments despite suffering from fibromyalgia and severe asthma, being a full time carer to my husband who has epilepsy and coping with a recent family bereavement. I have been using the knowledge and skills that I have learnt to help my husband to use the computer.

I feel that I deserve to be Student of the month because: I have finished my last 3 assignments at 100% without having to re-submit, I have acheived this through increased studying despite working as a night carer five nights a week 8PM - 8AM and looking after my daughter when she finishs school at 12PM. I now feel that I am ready to undertake a role within the I.T. industry as all my colleagues at work are asking me to come round to fix there P.C. the worst problem I have fixed is a blue screen on startup saying config/security file missing or corrupt! which I managed without any loss to any data contained on the P.C. my colleagues are also asking my advice on which P.C. they should buy.

I am currently studying for my A+ then moving onto my N+. Im finding my course really interesting and inspirational in the fact that having been so long away from study I am now doing what all teachers used to say I didnt do apply myself. Its tough going like most folk doing distance learning, I have a wife and two boys who require that quality time and two jobs to keep the money coming in while I study. However I have created a good study timetable which seems to be helping as I have just submitted my third TMA having scored in the 90s for my previous two. I only began studying end of November 2006 and feel I have made great in-roads over my first 3 months. it would be a great achievement to be considered for student of month but I know other great guys out there who also deserve recognition for their efforts.
-Adrian

At work, our IT team has moved a critical piece of hardware downstairs. At the same time they installed a CAT5 extender and hard wired the audio back upstairs to the monitor in our control room... unfortunately we have experienced problems with the PC crashing even though it has ample ram and processor power. I found that the network adapter and audio are using the same IRQ line and this 'May' be causing a conflict. I only know this because of the A+ course I am studying and the knowledge I am gaining.
Its so interesting being able to put my study into good use, and gives me more experience in what career I wish to pursue.
-Shane
I started A+ N+ and CCNA course in January.Having had no IT experience I thought that I would really struggle. I have very much enjoyed it so far and I am now starting my 5th assignment. Having had 100,90 and 80% so far I would like to improve and set a goal of at least 90% average. This course is providing me with a great new start and with hard work I believe this will make a huge improvement to my life in general. Thankyou for introducing me to this course.
-Matthew
After years of non study, and new to this course, I have achieved a 1st tutor assignment mark of 100, which May not be the biggest or best achievement to be listed here, but to someone who never thought it was possible, using these great tutorials, tutors and information, I know my future is looking a little brighter each turn of a page.Thanks skillstrain!
-Simon
I HAVE ACHIEVED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS SO FAR, WITH GOOD RESULTS IN MY A+ 2003 OBJECTIVES, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO WORK FULL TIME AND STILL GIVE LOADS OF TIME TO MY TWO LITTLE BOYS.
-Neil
I have recently started with N+ beginning January and I am very pleased with my progress. I have achieved a 95% pass average so far and I am now busy with TMA 08 .I have been extremely consistent , submitting TMA weekly.As a father of two and in fulltime employment with a burning desire to change a career I am convinced that my dreams are slowly becoming true.I am positive that in three months time I will be sitting for ComptiA exams which is a major hurdle to put behind and a start of my career change.
-Leon
I was disappointed with my TMA 03 first submission results. I nearly gave up the Course but deep in the night I rose up sat for 3hours to go through the chapter all over then 3 days after that re-submitted the assigment and made it. This achievement put in me renewed determination that I can sail through the etire Course by sheer hard work.
Again, at the moment, I am quite conversant with the different ports and their functions on my PC and this makes me feel progressive.
I have worked hard and submitted my TMA 04 am waiting to start part B any time now.
-Matthew
Excellent progress to date, at least 90% score, last three TMA's 100%. Looking forward to result for TMA 07 & receiving section 1, part B of the course!
-Andrew
I have almost completed my first section upto TMA08 and have achieved Very high standards of results, For me this is very special and I am very suprised by what I have acheived so far and in so little time. I hope to carry on acheiving these standards right to the end
-Darren
I have continued with my high standard of pass rate even though I am doing this course whilst working full time in one job and part time in another job. I am completing assignments at a high standard despite finding it extremely hard fitting it around work and motivating myself to keep going. thanks!
-Michael
Since begining this course I have been able to help alot more people with computer problem, including diagnosing problems with one of my own machines that would have caused alot more time spent otherwise. Even my boss has trusted me to diagnose and repair/upgrade his computer, which in itself is a massive acheivement.
-Andrew
Before I started this coarse, I had absolutly no idea about the technical side of computering, the most I could really do was run a program, game or just browse the net. Since I have started I have learnt much more than I had expected to and I feel I am doing exceptionally well, especially on my last paper. I believe I am keeping well within the estimated time needed to complete and due to my confidence I have set myself a personal goal to complete the entire works in under 12 months. I am more confident now with what I have learnt than I have ever been since starting this course and I definetly feel this could lead to a new career in an interesting and ever changing environment.

When I started my courses with the school, I didn't realise I was taken a bold step towards a future career.I did always envy those qualified ICT personnels whenever I saw them because I sincerely wished to be like them.But my programme with the school has made be see that I can be better than most of them. It has given me the courage to explore some hidden talents in me. I can now comfortably perfrom most hardware maintenances.I have finisghed my A+ and will be completing my N+ soon,then I will move on to CCNA and CCNP. Right now, I compliment with the college studies with a degree in ICT which I am running with the Opne University. Trust me, my courses with open university feels like work-overs because the college has taught me indepth about most of the things.The sky is not my limit for I will surely go above the sky once I successfully complete my courses with the college.I only wish I had started my courses with the college earlier than now, because I would had achieved more than I have now. Please, I have a message for the school and all the tutors;Keep doing what you are doing for you have changed most people's lives positively.Because of the college, my friends now look up to me for assistance with hardware probelms. Four of them will be enrolling with the college soon because they do envy me.I have taken care of my pc's registry problems because of what I learnt from the school. What an achievement! BRAVO TO YOU ALL!
-DONNY
My main achievements this month has to be my tutor marked assessments!!I have gained higher marks almost everytime!!!I am very happy with myself for doing so.
Another main achievement I have made this month thanks to the team members of this college, is I have been able to do private work involving my I.T skills that I have obtained due to the team members support, and the skills in which I have learnt through my course. The private work I have done is for people I know and people who have passed me on as a good name. This I am very happy about to, as it gives me experience and confidence in working in an I.T environment!!
-Mathew
I am an electrician by trade so work really long hours and managing to fit study and family pressures into my very busy day is hard work, but I do. when I first started this course I thought there was no way I would be able to understand the work. my kids have been great, but my wife has been so supportive that it drives me on to study in my spare time and to study the work. I have realised that I love learning new skills and how to sort my self out in finding time to study. what amazes me is that I can remember what I have studied when I sit and do the tma`s. I have repaired 3 computers in the last 3 weeks and am finding it easier each time to understand simple faults on p.c`s. when I started this course I didnt know much about i.t, I knew a bit but not as much as I do now. I can honestly say I really am enjoying the course I have enrolled on. thanks
