Cisco Qualifications (CCNA/CCNP) Course Certification Reviews
Before I started my a+ course with skillstrain, my knowledge of pcs was very limited and having read through some of the course notes and submitted two tma's my understanding has improved .
-Kenneth
I have achieved the following in my last 11 TMAs: 80/100 twice; 90/100 4 times; 93/100 once; 97/100 twice and 100/100 twice.

Having taken the A+ & N+ course,I feel very confident in my understanding with regards to my learning from SKILLS TRAIN.I couldn't be any happier knowing what my future prospects are with the qualifications I will get after my CCNA & CCNP. Furthermore many more thanks to the tutors for their assistance. It has been quite rough & difficult for me sometimes ,but the simplicity of the lectures is giving me the go get them boost.Therefore go SKILLS TRAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I came back to studies after a long lay-off. The stories in 'cyberclass' of fellow students achieving great success keeps me motivated. I successfully followed a revision plan on the A+ course and sat 2 exams in 1 month! I passed both the exams and achieved an overall 93%. This is the 1st of a few courses I am doing with Skills Train- well on my way to become a Network Engineer.

Well, today (9th March 2009) has been a real achievement for me.
After 11 months of study, I finally sat and passed my Comptia N+ today on my 2nd attempt with 675 scored out of 900. Maybe the questions were slightly easier than the last time back in January, but I still felt the same amount of pressure because missing out on the pass the first time by just one question or so was just ridiculous (540 scored with a pass mark of 554) and frustrating.
I feel that this has been quite an achievement for me as I havent just been able to sit back and study, I have had to work 2 different part time jobs (In the education and entertainment sectors - sometimes staying up as late as 4am) and care for a parent with a cancerous condition (Waldenstrom's Macroglobulnaemia). My time has been very occupied!
For this reason, I am putting myself forward for this competition because after working so hard towards the Comptia N+, I realise now why employers value it so highly... it is a broad and far reaching qualification that covers so many different areas in Networking. I also feel that I deserve some luck after having to put in so much effort towards my future.
The next month for me will see me broaden my horizons in terms of my qualifications now that the N+ is out of the way. I currently hold an Intermediate class licence for the transmission of amateur radio equipment. With the new confidence I have found with the help of skillstrain, I am planning to read and sit the advanced level exam before cracking on with my studies for the CCNA. What use is this you ask? Well, there is some overlap in some of the areas I have had to study for the N+ (antennas, cabling etc) so this extra exam will help reinforce what I have learnt already. The main reason however, is because I have heard recently that during 2012 when the Olympic games are to be held in this country, there will be the opportunity to set up amateur radio stations to help co-ordinate various events such as the rowing which will be held in Dorney (local to me).
I have found the study material provided by Skillstrain very helpful, and am looking forward to the commencement of my studies with skillstrain towards CCNA.

I have managed to maintain a high pass mark for the TMAs even though I have a hectic work environment, plus with other commitments. I am also preparing to take the N+ exam and so far I have been able to achieve 80%+ in the practice tests that I have done. Also I have been able to apply some of the N+ training at work where we have Novell Servers, so I have a better understanding of it.

Since before Christmas I have thought about whether I was doing the right thing by taking this course, because I am forgetting what I learnt in my previous assignments, and my pc has developed a fault with sound that could not put right.
After speaking to Anthony I had a good think about it, I enjoy working with pc`s and decided I cant let it get me down, I have now changed the way I study and feel, as a pc technician I would encounter problems, and remembered all the times I resolved my pc issue`s and enjoyed the feeling of achievement.
I am now back to trying to resolve my sound problems with the help of your tech team.. because anthony made me realise that it..... is ok to ask for help

Being a busy school teacher, I have a long and fulfilling day with my students. And yet I feel that my achievements are 1. still keeping up with my course syllabus and 2. After Studying various aspects of the course, I am more confident in assisting colleagues in school with loading new software, installing printers and replacing printer heads, connecting a projector and Wii games console, to much of the kids delight and colleagues gratitude. This course has already had a great impact on current career. I look forward to writing the exams and officially sharing my expertise with the rest of the school or maybe start my own business.
Thanks to SKILLS TRAIN

For the last year I have been working for an Electronics company which among other things has a computer section that covers all the components required for home computing and small business. Although I previously had some technical knowledge it has been difficult to deal with customer enquiries regarding detailed aspects of computers including PSU's graphic cards, networking and the troubleshooting of hardware failures. Due to what I have learnt on the CompTIA A+ course already I have been able to solve a number of problems for customers that I would not have previously been able to do. One situation in particular concerned a gentleman who relied completely on his computer for his livelyhood. After adding a new graphics card to his computer he was advised by another local Nationwide computer retail chain on changing his PSU to provide enough power for the additional card. A few days later his computer started to smell of burning and failed completely. After finding no help with the retailer and being quite frustrated and worried that he could not afford a new computer he came to us looking for advice. After are initial discussion and my recent module on PSU's it seemed clear that his PSU he had been advised to get was either faulty or inadequate for the task. Once an inspection of the computer could be done I identified the graphics card and its own power requirements as well as the rest of the computer's components. The card required 20 amps more than the PSU he had been advised to get could provide. From this and what I had learned I was able not only to recommend an appropriate PSU but fit it and checked that no permanent damage had occurred. Up to this point I had been supervising Audio Visual and Public Address enquiries. Thanks to just the first few modules of the course I have been able not only to help the gentleman keep his ability to keep his job but I am now being given the opportunity at work to take on more computer enquiries and troubleshooting thus making sure I have job security in an uncertain retail business period. Thank you for the chance to do this course and the gentleman I helped thanks you too!

I am very happy with my Unit course results, trying to keep above 80% is very challenging, my average target is 90%, as a complete novice in IT, my progress is very encouraging and satisfying, with an average of 92% so far.
-Anthony
My recent submission of the TMA02 and the results of 93% pass means a great deal, I was seriously doubting weather I could achieve such a result, so that in it's self is a prize. though its not the real exam, it has boosted my confidence and can't wait to complete unit 3. thanks for your help and support.

But it did take two days to get right and again the result I got for my first is very encouraging for me. And know my typing is getting bit faster so I am happy with it. Thanks.

Hello,
My main achievement within the last month was to start getting my understanding on how to begin. My own PC trouble shooting saved both my time and money that I would have to spend when calling a specialist. By applying and following the TIA's model I eliminated many possible causes of problems. As a result I found the real cause as well as possibility of eliminating the problem. This experience built my confidence. I have just started my course and I can't wait to find out what I am going to know when I finish it!
Thank you,
-Damian
