I have managed to achieve 100% percent on 2 of my assignments and 97% on the last one that I submitted. I have also been ready to submit my next assignment as soon as the results from the last one arrives through the post. I have acheived all of this even though I was ill for a week with migraines.

I also have a friend coming over this week with some new parts for my computer to upgrade the memory and graphics card and I will be installing them myself under his guidance.

I started this course work way back in November 2005, and I my motivation declined increasingly for the next year. However, in December of 2006, with my wife almost at full term with our first child, I decided that if I was ever going to finish my course, I should do so immediately, as I would need a career that would help me in supporting not only myself, but my soon to be family. Since then I haven't looked back and have been religiously studying and submitting my TMA's. I even started over from scratch as the coursework had been updated, (thankfully!) to include pertinent information on computer networking in today's workplace. I have received 100% marks on almost all of my TMA's and I plan to finish my coursework before the end of the summer. It's amazing how much inspiration your own child can bring to oneself, and I am the more determined than ever now, thanks to my family!

I recently changed isp and couldn't login to this site. Now that I can, I found I got full marks for my TMA. I thought I had done terrible due to my TMA being a written assignment. I am really enjoying the course.

Well just undergoing the course was a step in the right direction for me, I have wanted to do this for a long time and never did, but now I have and am enjoying this so far. Already I have submitted three sets of TMA's the first three weeks of the month. Two of these I have received the answers back and have scored 100% on both and hopefully my third 100% is on its way, and currently I have just started the forth section of my course and will be ready to submit TMA 4 as soon as the third TMA answers are sent back to me. Even if I don't get voted for student of the month just to be on this course and receiving the positive answers back already make me a winner. Good luck to all others studying and entering the SOTM.

MY ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR ARE TO DEMONSTRATE TO MY EMPLOYERS ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNT FROM MY COURSE SO FAR, THIS IS A BIG SUCCESS FOR ME.
MY RESULTS SO FAR ARE AN AVERAGE OF 90 TO 100% THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED.

Over the past four weeks I have had the misfortune of having my wife in the I.C.U. of our local hospital, visiting daily two or three times a day, while at the same time keeping our home in order, washing and ironing, vacuuming and any other job that has required doing and also trying to keep on top of my course-work when I eventually arrived home in the mid-evening,completing three T.M.A's and receiving all but 5% from the total possible. I would like to think I was in contention for the top prize as I am trying to upgrade my existing computer so that I can get connected to broadband and spend more time on the course web site. I am pleased to inform you my wife has now been transferred to the H.D.U. and is making a slow and steady recovery.

Over the past few weeks I have successfully helped some people diagnose problems with there computers and offered advice on how to fix these problems, I have also fixed my mates pc just a couple of days ago, I took it apart and found that the P.S.U. had burnt out and today I am going round to fit the new one for him.

WHILE DOING THE A+ PART OF MY STUDY TIMETABLE, AND KEEPING DOWN A FULL TIME JOB, I HAVE ALSO PASSED MY LGV DRIVING TEST. I AM NOW CURRENTLY HALF WAY THROUGH MY N+ STUDY TIMETABLE.

Enrolling in the course of N+ and CCNA was one of the best things I have done for myself. I didn't even know about Cisco before and now I am glad I took this course.
I know now that there is a lot more to the IT field in Engineering than just the user friendly GUI / user friendly interfaces.

I thought that doing studies on your own time would be easy and just work around your own schedule but that is not always especially when it comes to things you have to memorise when you don't have the physical device in front of you to work on.

I made great results and feel really proud of myself with keeping up with my coursework trying to make it one of my main priorities. Recently I came to the UK on a student visa doing full-time studies at London-college MCSE and SQL plus now I have to Scheidegger courses and to make things more difficult I can only do part time work trying to pay my rent and food. There is not alot of time for studies since I am working in lots of different locations where I get work in the last 4 weeks I worked in London , Basingstoke and now in Scotland where I have to go back in 2 weeks to continue my courses in London.

I have to use public computers or go to friends houses to get Internet access to do my course work. Sometimes it can be a wait to get access to a PC cause of timing, library closed or friends away or asleep since it is late at night. Also there is not alot of sociable time to go out or catch a movie with friends.

Still with all the hard time I'm having I am still maintaining my intense pace of studies trying to get one chapter done a day and revision of four chapters every Friday. I never take a day off from studies and don't stop even when I am done submitting my assignments; I just keep going and going waiting for my results to submit my next TMA. My goals is high, to be one of the best and make sure I know my work.

Whilst working in hard and arduous conditions in Afghanistan, I have managed to successfully complete my CompTia N+ syllabus and begin the first part of my CCNA course. With poor living conditions, which include constant power failures resulting in limited internet connectivity I have perservered and achieved, what I believe to be good TMA results. In addition with the new skills I have learnt, I seem to be the point of contact amongst my fellow colleagues when internet connectivity becomes an issue, and I have managed to resolve many issues for them, as the internet is the only real link with friends and family back home in the UK.

I started my course in January 2007 and was eager to get learning, so I started tma01 of my comptia a+ certification. I have been under great pressure whilst doing my course as my partner was diagnosed with cancer and had to undergo surgery. I have been looking after my partner and our 3 year old daughters needs and have still managed to stay focused and complete my assignments within my goal times. I am now studying tma05 and have received 90% pass rates on my previous assignments. I believe that I have made a great achievement whilst under great pressure and worry and I will continue to study so I can oneday have the dream job I always wanted.

Since doing this course I have greatly improved my knowledge and understanding of the course as I am progressing further through it. Also managed to help a few people with problems on their computer, and also installing a few things into a desktop pc which consists of; RAM, Hard-Drive / DVD-RW Combi and a few upgrade so other O/S. I've noticed a significant change in percentage of the results I've recieved back for the assignments.
