Cisco Qualifications (CCNA/CCNP) Course Certification Reviews
When I started with this course, I lacked directional focus and couldn't submit my assignment regularly. With an ardent determination to finish the course within the normal stipulated time, I resolved last month to submit at least one assignment within a week. Currently, I am doing just that and now have to wait on my tutors to finish marking the previous assignment before submitting the next one which has been done few days ahead of submission.
I am completing the first part of the course this week, passing each of the assignments with good grade and with only one attempt!
I am so excited about this.

I moved here from South Africa last year and got work in a warehouse. One night I was sitting and thinking to myself how much in life I took for granted. When the opportunity to study was there I never took it. Now I am thirty two years old, married and have two children. Life is going past me and I have nothing, but then I got the skillstrain leaflet throught the door and I signed up for the CCNP course. The beginning was hard but now I have done seven assignments and it is going very well. I always thought that a working man will have trouble studing, but to my suprise its not. It is more fun to study than to sit in front of the telly. Thank you skills train for giving all of us working people the chance to make some thing of our life and for showing us that there will always be a opportunity.

Still trying to work my way through this massive course, just finishing my CCNA and am about to start my CCNP. This in itself I think is an achievement.

I have achieved 100% in my written revision aswell as 100% in my previous TMA; this is alongside woking full time and looking after my 9 month old daughter! Since taking this course I have become a head trainer at work for my department, and have managed to train all new and existing staff to a very high standard whilst using our companys' new computer system. I have managed to upgrade a friends desktop by adding a larger RAM and installing a faster graphics card.

I TEMPORARILY DROPPED OUT OF THE PROGRAMME LAST YEAR FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. I AM INTO THE LAST 3 MODULES OF THE COMPTIA A+ CERTIFICATION. IN THE MONTH OF MAY, I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE 3 MODULES, TMA 10, 11 AND 12. WITH THE CURRENT DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED, I BELIEVE IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I SIT THE EXAMS.

Since starting the course I had some knowledge on using computers. But since I have started the course, I can now fully-understand what different things mean in and around Computers. Since I have started the course, I have been able to help many people with all kinds of Computer problems. I feel I am progressing quicky in this IT Course. Thanks.

I have been able to achieve tremendous success in my course works despite the fact that I'm currently undertaking a degree course in computer and electronics Engineering. I've been able to combine both courses scoring high grades and also had to work to pay my fees for both courses since my parents were declared bankrupt. I've received great motivation from friends and my mentor. I've always had the believe that I was born for greatness and will always succeed in everything I do. Thanks

I have just had my 40th birthday last month and I am really pleased with my progress so far. At first I didn't know how to start which took most of my time to figure out how. I finally got myself going and I am determined to finish this course soon. I am married and have 3 kids aged 11,8, and 6. Currently I am working partime and my wife who is also a student nurse with course coming to an end in November 2007 at Middlesex university. The pressure to get the house in order is so high. Apart from this course I am also studying full time Computer science at Middlesex University since September 2004. Above all I am happy with this course so far.

I've finally convinced my friend to consider skillstrain and the last time we spoke he couldn't wait to get a visit. This followed a sort of an argument as he was about to start attending a cisco course from a day college and one that would take him a year or more and most importantly costing fortune.
I had a point even in the outset of this tussle as he invited me to this college during one of his MCSE session. It wasn't a bad college at all, but in the end my assistance helped them understood subnetting and routing (and some related topics) and indeed provided them by far easier methods of the processing. I took that brief cheers of course but I was quickly on spot and I'm right on time again giving all credits to these wonderful tutors we've got and I'll like to commend your handsome efforts (thank you ). Having said that, I hope everyone is feeling the underlying skillstrain technology as much as I do. Everything is just awesome!
Finally, I'll go into June having finished another milestone and awaiting exams. thank you all.

I have been off work with server pain, and as a result been on some really strong medication. I have still managed achieved some great results in my assignments which I am so pleased about. Thankyou.

When I first applied for the course I did not quite understand how much time was involved, in the process of completing this course I also work a full time job and have a little girl and a partner to find time for. I already new a bit about computers but did not realise how much information you can forget over years. The best achievement I have made so far is completing the sections on my own, having had learning difficulties at school I was amazed to be able to sit and study on my own and achieve the grades I have.

Back in January I received some bad news from work, my employers were proposing that the depot I worked at would be closing. We entered a 90 day consultation period after that time my job would be made redundant. I was also on the waiting list for a hernia operation, things didn't look good.
I thought long and hard about my future and decided to look on the skills train website, on March 17th I had an appointment with the college advisor, we talked for 2 hours and I signed up for the A+, N+ and CCNA courses.
I got straight to work on tma1 and submitted it and started to read tma2.
Then on March 22nd a had a call from the hospital, They had a cancellation and could do my operation on March 29th. The op went well but was very painful for 2 weeks after, spending most of my time in bed on painkillers. This put my studies on hold.
Yesterday my dad had a conflict on his pc I used my troubleshooting knowledge from tma1 to find the problem and fix it, then found the same problem on my girlfriends laptop and fixed that too.
I have recently submitted tma2 and achieved 87 mark and just submitted tma 3. The studies have gave me a greater knowledge of pc's already and will hopefully reward me with a job I will enjoy and progress in when I am made redundant.
Thanks skills train.

I think that I've done rather well over the past few months with my course as I work full time and try my very best to make time for the studing that I need to do, my schedule works like this I work till 6pm every day and when I do get home iIspend 3 hours on my studies at least 3 times a week. In the past few months I really have got on top of my course and nearing completing my next chapter.

I have been studying CCNA for just under a year now, when I started the course I had little or no knowledge about Pc's and how it worked, but since I started the course I have learned a lot, so far I have completed Pc Master Part A and submitted my last TMA for Part B on 18/4/07. My pass marks are, 90%, 97%, 100%, 100%, 88%, 97%, 87%. All at my first attempt.

I continued to submit test while work load at work has dramatically increase. Having only be in the job for a short while I have still found time to continue with my studies while constantly learning new skills at work, the two are coming together and a lot of the skills I have learn on the course have been very useful in my work and vice verse.

When I decided to start CISCO course,I knew I was gonna have to do some courses before that to gain necessary certification. I started actually a year ago with A+ course and I am still doing it. The reason for it was I didn't have to much chance to study because of job and family. I struggled a lot at first to learn as much as possible and I wanted to finish the course as soon as possible. Unfortunately, after a long time and about 8 TMAs submitted, it turned out that I had to change the learning material and start everything from scratch. That really turned me down for some time and I thought I was never going to finish any of those courses in time. Until I found out I could the the codes for future TMAs and submit them without waiting for new material! That gave me my wings back again and I decided I will finish that A+ 2003 Objectives before the deadline and I started to work really hard again ;] From beginning of March this year I have managed to submit about 7 or 8 TMAs with quite good results and I am absolutely positive that thanks to your help, I will finish the course and pass the exams in time!

I have been working under pressure at my workplace but I am still doing well to continue with the work course and have gained an excellent understanding of the IT field and I am also a Team Player at my workplace and I also continue to strive and to keep up on my Certification. I am learning a lot about the IT field and I am enjoying it very much. I will keep striving with my course and gain the knowledge that I would like to do. I am also applying for Technical Coordinator at my workplace as you will be able to see of my career path that I submitted and if I do get the job I will even gain more knowledge in the Technical Field.
-Scott
I was very much depressed with my friends comments about taking the course in the I.T sector which is completely different to food science and technology. But I am confident that I will be get into the I.T field, and continuing the studies by getting good results in TMA'S.I have achieved 100% results in my last 3 assignments.
