IT Training Courses Certification Reviews
The Live Internet Training is a very enjoyable learning experience.
-Simon
Over the last few feeks I have several misfortunes in life, first of all my laptop broke, and it took a while to fix. Then my partner had to have extra hospital apointments as it was thought her cancer was growing.
Due to these misfortunes it has lead me to not be able to get through as much work as I usually do, although skillstrain has been very understanding and helpful, and I believe if I was doing this course in a college or university, they wouldn't have been as understanding and I wouldn't have been able to take the time out that I needed. I just hope now I can back on track and get this course finished so I can put the excellent training into practice.

I've only worked on my first few chapters of my Webmasters Course for about two weeks. I completed my first assignment, sent it off, and was very pleased to get 95%! I hope I can keep my marks at this level throughout this course (or near enough).
Over the last two years,I completed my basic computer skills, I barely knew anything about computers. Next I began my Word Processing, City and Guilds. I am pleased to say, I got a Distinction. I was suprised to say to say the least! Meanwhile I was completing an Art Diploma, at the UCE. I passed that as well.
I am doing this course because I need a new start in life. I can combine both my art and computer skills, and hopefully find work.
I am more suprised than anybody about what I have achieved, and hope that I can carry on in the same vein.

I am writing this with my left hand while the right is suspended in the air covered in bandages. You see, I am a printer by trade. The course I have been doing with skillstrain is my passport to escape the boredom and noise of a factory job. Three weeks ago I had a fight with a printing machine. I managed to get my fingers caught between the rollers and have had major surgery to re-build my fingers.
Following the success of my A+ exams I threw myself into studying and have completed 5 TMAs in just a few weeks with scores in the 90s, which I am very pleased with.
Luckily for me, my hand will mend and it should not stop me from pursuing my dream career in IT. I suppose you could say I'm lucky in that respect. My first thought after the accident happened was, "How am I going to type?!". Well, I shall just have to wait three months to find out.

After 6 weeks of studying my course work I have helped out a friend with his pc. he was having problems with his computer booting up.after reading the power supply troubleshooting part,I was able to diagnose that he had a faulty power supply,although he has not replaced the power supply yet I will be replacing it for him once he has bought it,not bad considering 6-8 weeks ago I would not have even give repairing or troubleshooting a second thought.

Since joining skillstrain I have COMPLETED my CompTIA A+ and since this has happened I have had a new job from british telecom and I am constantly being asked by potential employers to attend interviews! I am very much looking forward to passing my N+ and my CCNA with skillstrain!! I never thought in my life time I'd be motivated to study! Thanks.

I have achieved 11 or so assignment in one month from the first 2 book of A+ section 1 part A and part B which I did not think I could do but I say thank you to the tutors for marking my result so quickly. Which has been high and has given me a high hopes of getting good result for the rest of the courses with a positive look to the future.
-Michael
I am still managing to find time to study as well as find a job, attend college, train and study with my martial arts, and complete coursework. I hope to continue doing the TMA's at a high standard so I can finish the course and start my ICT career.
-Christian
I am so proud to be part of this institution. I was not quite sure when I first joined if I could be successful, but I have made immense progress and it is unbelievable what I have achieved. Today, I completed my final tutor marked assignment for the first part of my course with great confidence and am glad to say that I have done very well in the last 10 so am really proud of my self.
-Shema
This was the first live internet training session that I have attended, since starting my course, I found it very informative and worthwhile and will be attending more in the future and looking through the recorded sessions.

I am really enjoying this course so far and have learned so much already, although finding the time to study can sometimes be challenging. I am working full time on minimum wage at the moment in an environment where the scenery never changes and redundancy is always lurking around the corner. Due to my poor wages I am still living at home with my family, which isn't the worst thing in the world but being able to afford a place of my own would mean the world to me. I never seem to have much spare time, but most of it seems to slip away on helping other members of my family. My sister is due to be married in September and alot of the responsibilities have been shared out between us and I am also a bridesmaid. My younger sister has just given birth to a little baby boy, so with this and my older sisters wedding coming, our house seems to be constantly filled with visitors. This is not a good thing when they are waking me up early in the morning after I have just worked the night shift!
I have always had a huge interest in computers but never really had the option to learn more about them as there were no IT orientated subjects of study at school. I have also found over the last few years that I also have an interest in fixing things, whether at work or in the home. The material that I have studied so far has made me realise that I actually have quite a lot of knowledge in this subject that I never knew I had.
When I was young, I really struggled to think of a suitable career path. And over the years I have changed my career ideas several times. I always had it in my head that the best I could do for myself and my family was to stay at school for as long as possible and then go on to university. I settled into the idea of training to be a secondary school teacher, specialising in Physical Education. I gained the grades that I needed and was accepted into the BEd (hons) Secondary PE course. Within five months of the course I started feeling depressed and realised that I was at university for all the wrong reasons. I made the decision to leave and take a couple years out of education so that I could work full time and gain valuable work, and life experience. This way I would have more time to think about what I could do with my future. I decided that my most ideal job would be something I would enjoy doing; a job that would reward me financially for being good at my job; it would give me a sense of security and wouldn't wake me feel overworked and undervalued. I then saw a leaflet for skillstrain. After my initial meeting I realised that this job is what I would love doing and get paid well for doing it. Every aspect of the job description excited me and I just cant wait to finish the course. I know that I will find it challenging along the way but I want this so badly, I wont quit until its done!!

I began this course just over a year ago now and while my progress was slowed considerably while I moved home which had not been planned when I started the course I knew that my study time could be flexible enough for me to be able to get over this obstruction. I've now completed my A+ course and passed the exam and I'm moving swiftly on to my N+ coursework. A year ago I was made redundant and felt I was at a dead end in the industry I am currently qualified for, it was a depressing prospect to feel I was not exploring my full potential so I contacted the Skills Train. Being able to study for a qualification in a field I am extremely interested in whilst being able to study around my current day job has changed my outlook considerably and I look forward to the new prospects that are opening up for me.

I got more knowledge in Security issue from today Live training.I found that the training is very convinence to the students. Thanks to all..see you later!!!!
-Sai
The Live Internet Training allowed me to see wider security issues and the full importace of corporate security policies.
-Steve
Since started the course I study hard so that I can have the results which I have in mind which is to increase by 10%. I had to take the back seat due to an accident at work just recently which made me not work for three weeks due my injury, but in August I managed to follow up and finish section 2 part A and the last 2 TMAs from section 1 part B as well.
I was so pleased to go all the way with my course which I hope to finish by mid September and start my new job soon . Also I rebuilt a pc with a friend and that made so sure that I can do the job.

Trying to study whilst arranging my wedding to the lovely Diana......seems to be that the wedding has taken over most of my time, but I have managed to send a TMA for marking!!
-Andrew
I have just passed the comptia A+ 2007 exams with the high scores of 760 (pass 675) and 800(pass 700)!
-Rick
After the security lesson I have realised just
how big and important security is, a very important subject in todays world.
-Simon
The Live Internet Training is just the right level and speed. Very beneficial to the course by putting into context.
-Jane
Last month I have created a website for a local company in cheshire and they paid me a great sum of £600 for doing it. I have also created a website for a valet parking company. I couldn't have done this without your help on the website design course and I havent even finished the course yet!
-Jason
With my background as a PR practitioner, with just basic knowlegde of been computer literate i.e open, view, type and close a computer, I doubted my ability to cope.
When I was been signed by the course advisor, I asked her if she thinks I can do this, first finance wise, 'cause am presently unemployed-been supported by my wife. Second, lack of previous knowledge in IT could prolong my learning. She assured me that with dedication and determination, I should be able to cope.
Though I am not a dulard, but IT and Website Designing is a diferent ball game entirely.
So far, I have enjoyed every bit of it.
I like reading ahead. Which is what I did continuing to section2 while waiting for my first TMA result. The more I read, the more I find it easy and say ' oh! so this is the secrete and the way it is done'.
Now I know better.
I owe my success to the easy to read and understand books and packages, which is my guide and now with the introduction of 'Student World', I will be able to gain further from other students idea and get support from my tutor team.
Skills Train is making my dream come true.
I say well done to the Tutor Team, please dont be tired of our queries, a student will always be a student no matter how OLD.
Thank you SKILLSTRAIN.

I wish to say the SkillsTrain got all it takes to bridge the gap from an amateur to a promising professional in any endeavours relating to IT professionalism. This is not just a promotion but I will say it is fact a based on the Knowledge, Improvements, and inherent money cannot buy Skills I have acquired since I started my training in the ten months ago on Web Design.
Presently, I am in Section 3 Part B ( Server Administration) of my training. The patterns of assessment is extraordinary. The interactive training CD is the first of its kind, I have ever used in the course of any distant learning program. Everything on it is remarkably faultless and fantastic. You guys are magicians for incorporating this idea and methodology into our training. I take pride in going through the lectures in the CD times without number as well as assessing my skills in both the Pre and Post Assessment. Sincerely speaking, I am absolutely bewildered and elated in my scores. This I believe clearly demonstrates my understanding of the subject(s) and I just cannot wait to learn more from SkillsTrain
I adore the way you guys commit yourselves in giving us the best and most prestigious training in Information Technology.
Remain Bless and Do always lead and set the pace in IT training.
