IT Training Courses Certification Reviews
This month, I have found doing my coursework a bit of a struggle as I've had some personal problems, but ive still managed to get better marks, as I have been working through the assignments my grades have increased each time i.e. my last assignments I got 100% in each which I'm pleased about.

I have been very slow in my course in the past but with the A+ I was actually doing well with first time passes over 80% and mostly 100%. However, due to some family and work pressure I requested that I be moved over to N+ AND CCNA. I HAVE JUST BEEN MOVED AND I WILL SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THIS COURSE before the scheduled time.

After a long layoff my studies due to illness , I fill so determined to continue with my studies . this time around I find it easy to study so that I can achieve the goals which I set out when I enrolled for this course. I had to over come my illness first and most of I would like to thank the college for giving me more time to finish my studies,and like the tutor team with the support the give.

I have studied very hard for the last 2 month after having gotten married, moved house twice, being attacked on the street and sustaining a stabbing wound last year. I stepped up my studies beginning of this year and have passed my first exam A+ Essentials with 750/900 marks! I am now going to take the Second exam. I have only reached half way in my A+ study books and was really determined to pass even before completing the second set of books! It took lots of hard work and late nights!

My friend came around with his pc because it would not boot up at all, he was getting a message up saying that his pc could not find the system 32 .dill or it was corrupt so I used his windows xp disk and did a system repair which I have never done or would have even tried or known where to start, doing this was successful and his pc now works again. I was confident to do this because of the work we covered in TMA02 ,I have more confidence to work with dos than I did before.

A friend of mine recently contacted me as his PC was not running.
It would not boot because the system 32 dil was corrupt. I used the Xp boot disc to run a repair on the machine. Happily this process was successful.
I felt confident to do this because of the work we studied in TMA02 on dos.
I am gaining much more knowledge and confidence with each assignment that I complete.

I HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE A+/N+/MCSA COURSE ,I STARTED THE A+ JUST BEFORE FEBRUARY '08 AND MY GOAL WAS TO COMPLETE IT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY IN APRIL, I HAVE JUST RECEIVED RESULTS FOR MY TMA31 AND WAS VERY HAPPY WITH MY RESULT AS IT MEANT THAT I ACHIEVED MY GOAL.SPECIAL THANKS TO SKILLSTRAIN !!
-Anthony
I feel I have achieved alot since I started this course, ive had three really good results so far, starting at 78%, moving up to 80% now my recent mark was 90%. I'm extremely proud of myself, it's hard juggling a full time job and studying, but I feel in just 2 months I've achieved a lot more knowledge and I'm alot more confident about my future.

As a A+ student learning theories on books and for practical on my own computer, once I open up case and stripped down all components including the motherboard and put back to its original places but that didn't boot when I switched ON. Fans on the CPU and Graphic card were running but that was not booted and on the Monitor the message was "SIGNAL NOT DETECTED !".
I went through all processes as far as I knew from the books. eg: Changed VGA cable, monitor and as well as from PC World I bought a Graphic card but situation didn't changed. I was trying to changed the motherboard but suddenly found that just a pin on the Processors was bent. And when I put back after mending the pin and started my computer that was started as normal. From this time I will have always in my mind the message "SIGNAL NOT DETECTED !" on the black screen is the Processor not in working condition. Lesson learnt by mistake, I nearly broke my computer.
Thank you very much.

A wise man ones said, you come into this world to make a difference or remain a difference. I never had the fool understanding until now, as a domestic worker with so many limitations, I have been able to make a difference. With little or no time, I have been able to maintain constant TMA scores of about 90-100%.
Not long, a church member who is an IT technician consulted me to assist him in working on the church computers. In addition, I have been able to solve problems on pc like the following – crashed hard drive, which the pc technician call the blue screen of death.
- clone a pc for my friend [ build one ]
- solved problem of a PC that freeze or hangs after booting
- A system that could not recognize DVD drive.
- I also solved a problem of a pc that freeze and restart after booting.
- System that cannot be shutdown except by switching off the PSU.
- I also solved a problem on a PC with functioning speakers but non-functioning microphone and so on .
All these problems. I was able to solve due to a comprehensive and detailed manuals from skillstrain. This had made me to look beyond being a domestic worker and had encouraged me to change status as soon as am through with my N+. thx skillstrain.

This past month has been exceptionally hard for me as my dad has been taken ill with a rare lung complaint.I have been in and out of hospital everyday to visit and really didn't think I would get through it mentally,I kept up with my studies and have still managed to achieve a mark over 90% in all assignments this month.I would like to thank skills train for helping me through this difficult time as I don't know if I would have got through it without something to focus on and strive towards.
yours sincerly

I have been on the CCNA course for over a year now and I will say though it's not been very easy combining studying with raising a family and working as well, I have enjoyed the training as it is self paced and so doesn't put me under so much pressure to finish each module.
I have been able to learn a great deal since I started the training and I have also been able to use the knowledge gained in getting job as a service desk analyst in the public sector. I am pleased with this and I am confident that by the time I finish the whole course I'll be well equipped to for my next role.

Since successfully completing my A+ Certification, I have been selected for the role of Head Technician and manager of the PC Clinic orientation, in PC World.
I was offered this role over colleagues that have been employed in the technician role and have been with the company for many years before myself, however, this achievement was made possible due to the understanding of computer maintenance and repair that I have gained from carrying out courses via Skills Train and my determination to succeed.

When I first began the course, I had a firm idea where I wanted to go in life, but my train was still at the station without any tracks. Then I discovered SkillsTrain and for the first time in my life I was given a path to take to pursue my career.
At first I struggled a bit, being used to the day to day learning routines of school I found it difficult to discipline myself, due to the course allowing flexible working times but after completing the first few assignments and seeing my scores begin to increase it gave me a new burst of energy and willpower.
Having just started to learn XHTML coding it has already opened up new prospects for me as I've been able to assist my friends and also help them learn some basics and it has also provided me with another set of skills to put down on any future job application.
If it wasn't for SkillsTrain I would still be waiting at the station, but thanks to the clear, well laid out and informative books alongside video files and online assistance I've been able to pursue my career as a web designer.
Thanks SkillsTrain
-Andrew
Since doing the CIW Course with Skills Train it has really brought me on my ways of web design.
I have learnt so much about what I should be doing in web design and now I edit and designed a local FM Stations website in my area, plus I have designed 2 local church websites and I'm in the middle of 3 other people wanting websites done.
I can really say I doubt I would be this much in demand with out the skills train course, thank you!
-David

-Thayalan
I have been able to go through my course work at a much faster rate, despite having loads of work to do and a sick pregnant girlfriend to look after. I've also been able to maintain a high standard in my TMA scores. I feel I am already well prepared for my first set of public exams.
-Robert

I have increased my Tutor Marked Assignment results by a significant amount through studying harder. I work ahead of the assignments. Once I submit an assignment, I am working on the next assignment. I have also been taking the practise tests, I have completed 2 already. I keep striving with the course and making time while I am working. I work beyond my expectations. Currently working with Windows Server 2003.
