IT Training Courses Certification Reviews
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.

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

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.

I have been married for 19 years with 3 children, which is a big achievement in itself. Apart from looking after the family and the home I run my own business which takes up a lot of my time. I take my son to football twice a week and visit my daughter on a regular basis who is at music colledge in coventry. I like to help out at my local church. I still find time to do my course because I love working with computers and I enjoy learning new things. I have just started teaching my mother how to use a computer, she is 68 years old. I do like a good chalenge. she has not got a computer yet but she can have mine if I win this one. things get busy but I have a good wife and kids who support me which makes all the difference.thankyou ,Paul

I LOVE COMPUTERS AND I ENJOYED DO IT

Over the last month I have been achieving very good marks in my TMA's, so much so that I had the confidence to go into my local computer shop and ask if he would take me on in my time of work.(I work 3 weeks on, 3 week off in the offshore industry as a chef) To assist him in fixing, maintaining and upgrading customers systems. After hearing about my grades and the knowledge I have gained from doing my A+ course, Bob the owner was very happy to take me on.
-Colin
I achieved a 100% grade in my last assignment which was completed on my return from hospital after brain surgery following a cycling accident. I feel very pleased with myself on gaining this mark as I am in constant pain even while taking prescribed medication (20 tablets/day). My recovery time is expected to take 6 months to a year, possibly longer and I am advised against spending too long reading or studying. I hope to maintain a high pass rate for the remaining part of my course but do not know how I am going to manage. I hope my ramblings are of some help in explaining my position.

Hi, I started studying for the CIW certification at the beginning of February and have just completed section 1, part A, TMA 04. Previously I have been working part time as a PA and sold clothes on Ebay as I had lost my passion for design and being creative. I graduated with a degree in fashion design seven years ago and when I first started working in London as a buyers assistant, I use to get the train with a guy who was a web designer. I recently got in touch with him and it turns out he has his own web design company and after long talks he has offered me freelance work as soon as I have completed my course. His company has designed sites and corporate images for Arsenal football club, Madam Tussauds and Warner Brothers to name a few so I am really pleased that I managed to convince him that I was worthy of working with his team. I have now got all my confidence back and am finding the course really enjoyable and all my creative passions have returned so I now have to work extremely hard to complete the course with flying colours! Thanks for all the support given so far and I now have such a fantastic goal at the end too!

I have additional information to provide regarding my application for student of the month. I am not sure if I mentioned the fact that I have sustained some brain damage due to my recent accident and I am having some problems with my memory function, also mobility problems and an inability to concentrate properly or sleep properly. I will be attending a hospital appointment in two weeks and hope to get an update on my chances of full or near full recovery at this meeting. It is unlikely that the doctors will be able to do anymore than tell me to be patient and allow my brain to heal itself. Thankyou for your time, I do regard myself as being very lucky to be alive and being able to function to the extent I can. I realise many of your students May be in a worse predicament than I am and have just received the next part of my course which I will attempt to study as best I can. Thanks a lot. Bye.

Since I started this course I known much more about computers, than when I started I had little idea on how to use email and I also did clait which I did not finish the course but now I can build a computer which I have already started, I have not finish it because I have't got the money for the material. I can install floppy disk drive, hard drive,and the buses with the motherboard and other devices which I bought in secondhand shop. I also spoke with a friend and he said to me he is sure I can sit for A+ Exams with the level I'm at. I have also gain more knowledge on this course on window installation, I'm really happy with the school and the team staff.

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

Due to work committments I have now Completed Aplus part 8 to progress to the next section
