I want to use this medium to express my profound gratitude to all staff and members of Skill train for the supports they have impacted in me all these while. I am now capable to troubleshooting any problems that May arise within and around the computer system so also, I have been able to achieved tremendously in my TMA's. I will say again, I have been able to solved most of my friends,relatives and colleagues personal computer problems even without finishing my course yet.This is so great as I become really confident of myself to solving major problems whenever it comes to computer faults. Having achieve all these within the shortest period of time,I want to say categorically,that I will come out in flying colours at the end of my course by God's grace. Once again, thank you all.

I am originally from Botswana,Africa.I came to England to study business management.Then I came across a leaflet about skills train.I took a chance because as you might be aware in Africa the web is not used as much as it is here.I wanted to learn how web sites begin and what their real function and benefits are to say an organization.From the little time I have had reading and studying I have learnt a lot more than I knew before.Before I begun my course I was just surfing the web for information or buying things in America that we do not get in Africa like clothes etc.This course has opened up my mind and I want to start a web site developing company when I get home.I want to build web sites and do the after service of updating etc for them.I believe as is always the case we will catch up with the use of the world wide web.

I have struggled with the course thus far, not in terms of the content, its the time I have struggled with.
Work/family/friends, everything seemed to be getting in the way, my folder was always there reminding me that I should be making time to study and complete my course.
At the end of May I made some serious decisions about my future, what I wanted to be doing and what my goals where/are.
A big part of that was making time to study and complete my course as this plays a big part in my long term plan for life in general.
I sat down and worked out when I could study, I was actually surprised in how much potential time I had (and also how much time I wasted!!)
I put together a study plan and set myself some goals. I stuck to those and although it was hard I kept in mind what my long term goals are and how I needed to reach them.
This month I have completed 4 assignments, 3 of which I got 100% in. I am really really pleased with my achievement.
-Philip
I have completed 4 TMA's so far this month plus one resubmitted, this is a massive achievement as I have been averaging only 1 or 2 a month. I also have an interview lined up to enter a BA Hons course.
-Carol
I work in a convenient during the day and in a Restaurant in the evening. Yet I have achieved 100% on all of my TMA's. To get my break into the IT Industry I do free work on weekends at my local computer shop in Withington, Manchester. Yet I am still smiling and hope to complete this course for the rewards it offers.

Skills Train Comptia A+ training is really helpful. Before I couldn't get my head around networking but studying 220-602(A+B) has helped me quiet a lot. I feel really confident that this study material will get me through the examination as well as in my professional life. Thanks Skills Train.

Becoming an IT student with skillstrain is like "mana" has come over me ,and my family. We have four computers in the house.386DX, Pentium MMX, Celeron, PentiumDual-core.I did not know anything about the workings of the computers,if they don't work,buy another,but I always saved the old computers. In just one month with "Skillstrain PC Hardware and maintenance-Essentials" I can tell you what kind of Processors my old computers have what the problem was,cause I have fixed it, or used for showing the grand kids the inner workings of the computer. So hopefully you will have two more students in the future. I can wait for the next "sec1partB-Essentials.

Having enrolled as a student with Skillstrain in the face of adversity is a dream come through,Its really difficult getting a job I desire considering my background and my responsibility to my family. It is a great achievement for me to take this course. I believe it will go along way in achieving my goal, that is my career. Thanks for having me in this Great college.

I achieved a lot this month because I did put much effort into learning of my extended part of the course and I have almost finished the first half. I did fix 2 computers of my friends and I set a wireless network with linksys wireless router.
I am still trying to get the most of the course so I bought several books in my mother language to understand all the details which are quite complicated or I found complicated. There are some other small things I would like to write here like e.g. I improved my website as far as graphics are concerned. I hope to finish the course as soon as possible so I can find suitable vacancy in IT environment. My computer is on the blink so I will have to shorten this .. thank you

I only recently started this coursework, and am in my 5th week of study. I am a single parent with three children under two. Although I was determined to complete the full set of coursework, exams and all, I worried about studying and retaining information so densely technical. I am proud to say that even with studying when I can, and late at night, I have averaged around 94% on my assignments!! I am really happy and encouraged by this result. I am looking forward to many more nights studying while the children are asleep.

I started this course a few years ago intending to complete it within a year.
My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undertake a major operation to save her life.
With all the concern I did not continue with the course.
I attempted to continue about a year later once my wife had finished all her chemo and appointments at Hospital , I had a lot of tome off work that year.
I continued with the course
Sadly we discovered a year or so later that the cancer had spread to her bones , and she had to have more chemo so I stopped the course again.
After the treatment had finished I attempted to continue and found myself having to stop again due to the fact that my wife was rushed into Hospital with fluid in her lungs and heart. An operation was performed and she came home. Them some months later she went into a hospice for a rest and then had to go back to hospital because the fluid in the lungs had come back.
During this time the last thing I was thinking about was the course you understand.
She had another operation and went home.
After many trips up and down to hospital she went back to the hospice after what turned out to be her last holiday with myself and our 2 daughters she got very ill.
Sadly my wife died of cancer at the Hospice at the age of 41 just 5 days away from her 42 nd birthday.
During a few of our visits to the hospice my wife told me off for not continuing with the course saying I had wasted £1300 , and that the course organisers would not be willing to let me continue and in her words " you have blown it you idiot "
I told her that I believed I would be able to continue , and with great thanks to skills train you have allowed me to start from the beginning for which I am very grateful.
I owe it to my wife to complete this course and pass and pass well, as I can not let myself blow it.
I also have a duty to my daughters to make their Mother proud of me for picking this up after all that has happened.
I can not thank skills train enough for this opportunity .
I work as ICT Technician for Greenwich Council and my wife wanted to donate computer equipment to the hospice who looked after her , and also get the staff and patients some ICT training from my work place.
I am very happy to say she got her wish, as I was able to arrange for some of our teachers to supply this to the hospice.
I also personally installed one computer and gave internet access , and a colour printer for staff and patients to use.
My wife was showing staff and patients how to use it, and also ordering our shopping online days before she died .
I also supplied 2 printers and another computer to the hospice as this is what my wife wanted.
My wife studied and gain an honours degree in Community Art and Design at Greenwich University just weeks before she died .
This is what now drives me to complete this course and pass and pass well, I do this in her memory.
She passed suffering from Cancer , I must pass my course.
Once again my deepest thanks to skills train for giving me this chance once again.
Greenwich university did the same for my wife during her illness , I am also very grateful to them.

Several months ago my wife and I moved to Belfast from South Africa, leaving all our friends and family behind. I managed to get a job after being here for a few weeks and felt my skills weren't good enough for the work standard out here. I enrolled for the course to try increase my knowledge and skills in IT. In the time I was studying through May and June I have been extremely home sick and battling to concentrate on anything other than missing everything from back home and my increasing work responsibilities. Despite all this I still managed to get upper 90% for the TMA's I did in June and I feel my base knowledge of the theory is really quite solid.
