After suffering an injury, I have taken on board the compTIA A+ course without any understanding of IT previously, to further my knowledge and use it to help me in my current employment within the network industry. Although I have an old computer at home I do not really understand how it operates, but having taken the first part of the course, it has explained quite a bit and increased my understanding and curiosity!

My first result recieved amazed me, I scored 100%! It May seem basic to a lot of people but to me that was a real achievement!

I look forward to continuing with the rest of the course, and eventually having the understanding to allow me to reach my goals.

Already I have helped a friend with simple problems to do with their o/s and basic knowledge enabling them to access areas they would not normally attempt.

OK I gotta be honest im not one for blowing my on trumpet but after the month I've had I thought sod it.

I've just passed unit 9 of PC Hardware and Maintenance Part A. Anyway this last month has been an absolute nightmare; my son has cystic fibrosis and has been taken into hospital, he's been in for 2 weeks. During this time I have a job as a self employed courier which is a 60 hour week and add on top of that trips to the hospital every night and staying over the weekend to give my wife a break. How the hell have I found time to study - well I've used my time on a weekend with my son in hospital to study whilst he's been asleep on a night time. This May seem more heartless than it is as my son has to make regular two week trips to the hospital, which is worrying but when you understand what his condition is the fear is taken away.

There's always a way. I hope soon too be able to end my time as a courier to find a less demanding and time consuming job hence the reason for this course. Thank you for reading.

I have achieved knowing what is inside a computer and getting to know of how it works & also all the parts which is inside a computer to make it all work.
I am also very happy with the achievements of my results.

I have also helped my friend find a fault with his computer and that was a big achievement. These are the achievements I have done so far since I have been doing this course.

I would just like to say I was a little sceptical about enrolling on my chosen course at first, on the other hand now I am more familiar with the function of Student World I am happy to push in to new areas. This new found confidence is also reflecting on my TMA scores considerably!

First of all, I think it is hard to talk and to write about my self but the big change that happened in my life by starting this course encouraged me to do so.

I came to live in the UK 3 years ago, my English still needed improving, but I worked very hard to learn English and to look after my family and study my course material.

In my country I was working as adviser to the minister of planning and I have university degree and more than ten courses in different subjects as IT, statistics, public relations, languages, SPSS, GIS and how to use the Remote Sensing to detect and solve problems in our land and undersea and also to learn more about our atmosphere to reduce pollution.

In this course I really developed my knowledge and learned how to fix computer problems and the most exciting moment when I finish a clean installation and the computer runs fast and no error messages appear. Thank you.

I have completed my A+ in 8 months while still working full time I have now started my N+ and already sent in my first assignment.

Am glad, that I made a choice, a choice that have transform the way I think. Since I started this course am convince that the sky is the limit for me. Am willing to go further and never relent. I want to use this opportunity to thank those who initiate this idea for those who can't afford to go to college or university to realise their dream but having and providing this medium through which their dream is being realised is a great achivement.

My three kids my are my greatest achievement. I am a fully qualified electrical test engineer and have revisited college many times over the years to keep up with all the new regulations. I work hard at my job and try to fit in as much study as I possibly can. I am finding that the more I study the more everything makes sense. I am really enjoying the course and hope that one day I will be working in the IT industry.

Despite a very demanding full time job, and a second part-time job, managing to log in and get TMA's submitted as soon as possible.

I use my lunch hour to study, and test myself using the course book after each unit, as well as trying to remember the answers when completing the TMA on CD.

Simple and informative covering commands and their application in full; good for revision purposes; spoke clearly.

I am currently a serving member of the Royal Navy, based on a P2000, HMS Tracker. We have been transiting around europe for the last month teaching all aspects of naval life & tradition to university students. This is a busy period for all concerned but I have still managed to study for a good period each day & sit & pass a few TMA's which to me is a really good & worthwhile achievement. I thought that I wouldn't have the time or inclination but with a little bit of drive & determination, any goal is achievable. This makes me even more determined to succeed in this course when my workload onboard reduces & therefore my studying can increase.
