I studied for and passed my Comptia A+ last year. It took me a couple of months longer than I would have liked, probably because, at 50 years old, I was very much out of practice at studying. After all, I had been left full time education for 32 years! However, I feel I am getting better, and I persevere more. I am studying the Network + course and feel I am coping pretty well despite the extra pressures of knowing that I am going to be made redundant from the job I have had for the last 28 years. I expect to do the N+ exam in May (maybe sooner!) and then it is onto the CCNA course. I can't wait.

I am doing the TMA s as fast as they are being marked at the moment.and my scores are pretty good.not bad for a man who works 60 hours a week as a nurse plus got 2 kids and a girlfriend to contend with.I am really enjoying the course and a new pc or some vouchers would really make my day

Working on the Microsoft Certified Cisco Engineering course (MCCE) and I am now working on the CompTIA Network+ Certification Windows Server 2003 (NetMaster) and also working on PC Hardware and Maintenance - Essentials (CompTIA+ Certification which is the 2006 Objectives and I am enjoying this course alot because I always wanted to work in the IT field. Did it in the US Navy as a communicator in which my qualifications will help me out for the future and I will keep up with the course. I can't wait to get my Certification.

I have been doing this course since last September and have achieved very high scores with my assignments. Uptil now I would not have even attempted to open up my computer case. Last year my old pc packed up and I had an engineer over to see what was happening, after I found out that the motherboard needed to be replaced I decided not to go ahead with the repair but repair it myself when I have the skills needed to do this myself. This will have given my valuable experience and also saved me a fortune in repair bills. I feel I have the confidence to do this and learning from my manual has helped

I am 46 years old and pursuing a Computer Networking course leading to CCNA qualification on correspondence basis. Currently I am employed as a Warehouse Operative. As you know it is not easy to study and work while fulfilling other family responsibilities. However I am glad that I have managed to complete the A+ bit and now pursuing the Network + before eventually studying for the Cisco networking system.
I wish to advise those who are aspiring to pursue any course that age is not a barrier in achieving their dream career. Simply find whatever limited time you have to read and with time and perseverance it eventually gets into your system and becomes easy. Let your family, relatives and friends know you are reading, they will give you time and support you need to achieve your goals. I look forward to changing my career to computing with a view to becoming an IT Systems Network Administrator. I wish to thank all the staff members at the College for their continued support advice. Thank you.

I have been studying quite hard to get 100 percent in each of my TMA but the closest I had earlier got was 98 percent. I was determined in my most recent submitted assignment and I got 100 percent for the first time!

I am now resolved to work harder to consistently to maintain this exceptional result in the consequent assignments and examinations as I know it is always possible.

I realize that the secret of this achievement has to do with consistent sense of determination and dedication.
