Cisco Qualifications (CCNA/CCNP) Course Certification Reviews
Firstly, I thank your team for the opportunity to let me share with you what I have achieved since I began this course. It has not been easy maintaining my perfomance along side with my other studies (PhD), as well as earning a living, however I still find it a challenge to over come these tasks, and whenever an assignment is completed I can't wait to proceed to the next level as authorised by tutor.I hope my experience will be of courage to my fellow studnts as it is to our tutors.

I lost my husband in IRAQ this course gave me something to hang onto. Seeing the student website and having a sense of wanting to achieve something has kept me going I did have my ups and downs and the tutors have been great and understanding by letting me have my course time extended.
Bad luck struck again recently, I fell down the stairs and damaged my hip and knee, spending a lot of weeks off work. I felt like giving the course up but I have always found the reading material and interactive CDs good to use and inspiring me to keep going.

Considering that I did not know much about networking it has to be rather hard but very rewarding when you get your marks back and do well like I have. You might have to resubmit your work but it is worth it in the end, With a little help from the tutor team I was able to get my computers networked together, and this is avery good achievement for me. I had not done any thing like this before and it felt good when it was working alright

I am currently doing CCNA course now. I am full-time worker in one of the telecommunication company. I already finished a university degree but CCNA is very helpful for my long team plans. I have completed A+ and N+ and will be finish it on time. Working and studying is very hard but I can do it. Thanks to skills train, they are doing a fantastic job.

I was working as a waiter at a Nepalese Restaurant, but I am not working there anymore, in fact I am working at an Electronics Company as a Technical Sales Advisor. It has been two weeks since I had started my new job and I’m doing great as well. I can’t believe it myself honestly. I went to the company and submitted my CV. I got a phone call for the interview and then got the job. I think they were totally impressed with the course that I am undertaking at Skillstrain which I had explained in my CV. That was the only things that worked for me to get that job......really what a difference it made to my life..........I am really happy about it.....and can't stop thinking what a difference it would make if I had completed the whole course of studies. Believe me I am feeling at the top ...feeling so good from inside ....if this is not achievement then what is this......I am very much thankful to my college for this change ...I think I can see my destiny now. I am feeling differently. Sincere thanks to my college.it.....and can't stop thinking what difference it would make if I had completed the whole course of studies.Believe me I am feeling at the top ...feeling so good from inside ....if this is not achievement then what is this......I am very much thankful to my college for this change ...I think I can see my destiny now. I am feeling myself in a different way. Sincere thanks to my college.

Having been ill for quite a while I have only really been studying full time since Christmas. I have already completed 3 TMA's with astonishing results and starting on the next one in about 5 minutes. I certainly know quite a lot more about binary numbers than ever I did whilst at school or college, same goes for Hex-decimal.

I started my course in October last year(2006) & I have been really pleased with the way that the learning format is laid out in the Skillstrain folders, I do shift work & have a lot of travelling to do each day to & from work & when I get home I sometimes feel to tired to do my coursework( I'm doing A+, N+ & CCNA), but I realise that I need to study to be able to improve my IT skills & be able to get myself a better job for me & my family & also to be able to give more time to my family & a better life. I have been really surprised & pleased with the results I have been getting, I have increased my learning timetable & have decided to put in as much time to my course as is possible, I have really enjoyed myself & learned a great deal along the way. I have just submitted TMA21 for marking which I hope I get good results with, the last few tests that I have put in have all been at 100% & I hope to be able to continue with results like this, especially when I take my main A+ exam hopefully within the next 5 weeks. I believe my average test result must be in the high 90's. My family have been really supportive to me, even when my wife gets bored with me talking about computers she still listens(bless her). I have started teaching my 9 year old son about computers & he seems to have a flair for it which I'm pleased about, hopefully he will take after me for that. Anyway thanks for reading this & good luck to all that enter student of the month. Many Thanks

I recently become A+ cerified by passing both the Core Hardware and OS exams and I have to say this has give me a huge morale boost I was a bit worried about the exam just wondering if I would pass or not so if there is anyone out there who May feels the same as I did then this is for you, keep a cool head about your self on the big day.

I started studying again after 10 years, what gave me the incentive to study after all this time was that I was diagnosed with cancer in September 2005 after major surgery and 6 months of chemotherapy I was given the all clear on January 2006 . I always said to myself that I couldn't study after such a long period ( 10 years) but the challenges I faced during my operation and treatment showed me anything is possible, I am on the A+ part of my course at TMA 18 and up to this point I have achieved an average 97% mark. I look forward to sitting my exam in June 2007 and see this a another challenge I have signed up for the N+ and CCNN courses and look forward to these challenges, so for all you out there having doubts just remember anything is possible with the right encouragement and help

I started my course in January 2007 and was eager to get learning, so I started tma01 of my comptia a+ certification. I have been under great pressure whilst doing my course as my partner was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo surgery. I have been looking after my partner and our 3 year old daughters needs and have still managed to stay focused and complete my assignments within my goal times. I am now studying tma05 and have received 90% pass rates on my previous assignments. I believe that I have made a great achievement whilst under great pressure and worry and I will continue to study so I can oneday have the dream job I always wanted.

Since doing this course I have greatly improved my knowledge and understanding of the course as I am progressing further through it. Also managed to help a few people with problems on their computer, and also installing a few things into a desktop pc which consists of; RAM, Hard-Drive / DVD-RW Combi and a few upgrade so other O/S. I've noticed a significant change in percentage of the results I've recieved back for the assignments.

I studied for and passed my Comptia A+ last year. It took me a couple of months longer than I would have liked, probably because, at 50 years old, I was very much out of practice at studying. After all, I had been left full time education for 32 years! However, I feel I am getting better, and I persevere more. I am studying the Network + course and feel I am coping pretty well despite the extra pressures of knowing that I am going to be made redundant from the job I have had for the last 28 years. I expect to do the N+ exam in May (maybe sooner!) and then it is onto the CCNA course. I can't wait.
-Paul
I am doing the TMA s as fast as they are being marked at the moment.and my scores are pretty good.not bad for a man who works 60 hours a week as a nurse plus got 2 kids and a girlfriend to contend with.I am really enjoying the course and a new pc or some vouchers would really make my day
-Maurice
Managing to return to my course (and get 100% on first assignment back), despite my marriage breaking up and me being left with two kids

Working on the Microsoft Certified Cisco Engineering course (MCCE) and I am now working on the CompTIA Network+ Certification Windows Server 2003 (NetMaster) and also working on PC Hardware and Maintenance - Essentials (CompTIA+ Certification which is the 2006 Objectives and I am enjoying this course alot because I always wanted to work in the IT field. Did it in the US Navy as a communicator in which my qualifications will help me out for the future and I will keep up with the course. I can't wait to get my Certification.
-Scott
My achievements are that I have now been able to find the time do consentrate on my course while working in a full time job ,,, planning the soon coming wedding,, and be able to achieve ,, what I consider good grades I find my self now waiting for the next code so I can submit my next exam,, always seem to be working ahead now.
-Neil
I have been doing this course since last September and have achieved very high scores with my assignments. Uptil now I would not have even attempted to open up my computer case. Last year my old pc packed up and I had an engineer over to see what was happening, after I found out that the motherboard needed to be replaced I decided not to go ahead with the repair but repair it myself when I have the skills needed to do this myself. This will have given my valuable experience and also saved me a fortune in repair bills. I feel I have the confidence to do this and learning from my manual has helped
-Darren
Due to work committments I have now Completed Aplus part 8 to progress to the next section
-Michael
2 x 100% in the last month and hopefully just submitted the 3rd. Fingers crossed.
-Jane
I am 46 years old and pursuing a Computer Networking course leading to CCNA qualification on correspondence basis. Currently I am employed as a Warehouse Operative. As you know it is not easy to study and work while fulfilling other family responsibilities. However I am glad that I have managed to complete the A+ bit and now pursuing the Network + before eventually studying for the Cisco networking system.
I wish to advise those who are aspiring to pursue any course that age is not a barrier in achieving their dream career. Simply find whatever limited time you have to read and with time and perseverance it eventually gets into your system and becomes easy. Let your family, relatives and friends know you are reading, they will give you time and support you need to achieve your goals. I look forward to changing my career to computing with a view to becoming an IT Systems Network Administrator. I wish to thank all the staff members at the College for their continued support advice. Thank you.
