I have a small knowledge of IT, but I have been helping a small computer company with their work in most of my spare time which has helped me improve my knowledge. This has included the following work : Replacing switches to improve network performance, adding or replacing memory modules in PC's, network cards, and adding SCSI cards to Small Business Servers. Also with the work that I have studied through Skillstrain, plus the extra knowledge I have now, I managed to work out and fix a computer, which was a very satisfying achievement.
I have also sorted out four family & friends computers from securing a wireless network, putting in an internal USB hub, graphics gard, memory to getting them onto the interent and explaining how to use it.
Over all I am very pleased to what I have achieved so far through my studying and the work that I have been doing as it has proved to me that I can do it.

Well what can I say if it's having been said in Success Stories, I read some of them and they are all true? Learn when you can. I try to read the book in my dinner hour, Sometimes I need to read the page 2 to 3 times to understand it. Why not iv got the time and when I get home get strata on the PC then on the www and fined more info about what your learning. There's nothing on the www that you cannot find out. If you need help you've got skillstran but if you find out something on the www you will feel more pleased because YOU have done it yourself. If you forget something and you remember it that you have seen it in the book you can go back on it and read it again.

I AM NOT CURRENTLY EMPLOYED IN THE IT INDUSTRY BUT HAVE MANAGED TO PASS MY COMPTIA A+ AND NETWORK+ FIRST TIME.

I AM CURRENTLY HALF WAY THROUGH CCNA INTRO WITH SCORES AS GOOD AS 100% AT TIMES.

Top 

Just started the CCNA part of the course this month (July) after completing A+ and N+ (all within a year) and working as well. Sat the CompTIA A+ public exam and passed well.
Did find that part of the course a bit easier to handle because of the printed course material.
I used to take relevant pages to work and can study during spare periods including luchtime.
I find the CCNA part more challenging since it requires hours behind the PC to read the online material from Cisco Academy.
However, just within the firt half of this month, I have managed to complete the first two TMA assignments and just finished the online module 2 exam with a mark of 87.2% (having obtained 100% in module 1).
Looks like long hours in the night for some time but I'll keep up the pace!

I was really aprehensive about doing an online course and was worried that the support and needed course material wouldn't be there. I was shocked when the course material came through and pleased with the approachable way it was laid out. I knew a bit about computers before and this is why I chose CCNA. Since I have started the course, my knowledge has deepened and I have been able to easily Network various peoples and company's computers. I didn't use to have a lot of confidence before, but now find that I am able to help a lot of people with their computing.

All this has been possible thanks to SkillsTrain, and when I didn't do as well in TMA's as I wanted, the tutors comments really helped. I am nearing the end and I can see a bright future ahead. Go for it, its so worth it.

I have only recently started a course here at SkillsTrain and I am happy that I am getting high percentage marks on my exams when I am also under a lot of pressure at work doing various taks. We have implemeted a new IT system within the housing association, and as I am on the IT team, I am learning EVERY aspect of the system, where other people will just be learning their little corner of the system.

Learning all this, coupled with trying to do my day-to-day job and teach others the system at work, can be come very stressfull and tiresome at times.

I am happy and pleased that I am able to come home of an evening, relax and then relax again, whilst studing my course here at SkilsTrain. I could be doing the job that I am doing now and then go to college on certain days.

So SkiilsTrain has helped me imensly in furthering my career and I am also looking forward to acheiving all the qualifications that I would like to have.

I have also started to troubleshoot friends, family's and neighbours computers when a problem arises. With the skills that I have at the moment, I am able to do this with confidence :)

I have studied thoroughly this month and I have been through many ups and downs in order to achieve the desired grades on assignments. I enjoy studying the material and I know this learning process that I'm going through will only improve my knowledge and help boost my carrear in IT.

Before starting this course,I had a little knowledge in IT.But at the moment I can proudly say my understanding of IT has improved drastically.
Lately the progress report of my assignments has also being a motivation factor which even urges me on to be more serious with the course.
Am also able to advise my friends on some aspects of networking.All thanks to my Tutor Team and would like to assure them of putting in more effort then I previously did since I am assured of their readiness and willingness to give me all the support I would need.

The live internet training was superb, really helped my studying.

Just recently achieved my first 100% result on TMA12, which has given me an extra lift to study harder and progress further within my course. My confidence and skills have grown since starting the course. More friends and family members are seeking my help and advice. Already built two pc's for friends who are very pleased, and also troubleshooted another pc and repaired for a BT workers friend.

I will be the first to admit that I have been very slow on progression of my course, but recently have pulled my finger out! The last few months I have handed TMAs in on a regular basis and have acheived good results. Best of luck to every body studying with SkillsTrain, and thanks to all the tutors for their assistance!!!
