I started my CCNA course in Dec 2006 ,and I am nearly about to finish my A+ certification. I have worked hard to get such good marks.(average 90%)
even though I work full time, but I save my time for my assignments, and I can say with pride that I have gained a lot by doing these assignments.
many thanks

Despite working nearly full-time, managing the home, garden etc. I have still found time to study and to get the elusive 100% on my assignments, which leaves me thrilled to bits!

When I first started this course I had little knowledge of computers but as I studied the more things became clear to me I can now build my own pc as well as maintain them, ihave already built two pc and my friends have asked me to build for them. I also work nights managing the family business one of the main reasons I took this course was to give me the nessacery skills to change my career at first I was a little wary but as the course has progressed I feel that I have gained valuble knowledge to help me achive my goals I now belive that if you put your mind to it you can do what you want and I would like to thank all my tutors for the help and support that I have recieved and also a special thank you to the gentleman who came out to see me in the begining and told me about the course and who belived in me to recommend me to the college because at the time I was in a bad way financially.

After the prolonged illness of my father and death that followed I lost all will to continue with the course as I had completely gone off the rails. on the first of Feb. I thought about where I was going and what I was doing pulled myself back togeather and set about the task of reading through all the course work and tutor notes you gave me in an attempt to learn all the N+ course again with I think has worked to give a better understanding than I got first time round so with renewed will I'm hopfully stronger than before I've sent TMA13 which I think will give me the best mark or result I've got during this part of the course.

Hi over the last month I have helped my father put a pc-tv card into his pc . He was really surprised saved his £100.00 what they were charging in my local shop for parts and labour. This is all down to part b of my course so in return im paying £100 a month but iv just saved my father £60 buy installing a tv-card into his pc for free. The only problem now is the rest of my family have heard about it and im getting all kinds of request like build me a pc , put more memory in my pc. I think as I devlope on my course I will start charging everone for fixing their pc. Im actual today going to my relatives house to put a memeory card into his pc. I cant wait to finish the course and start charging!!!

Eversince I started this course I have managed to build my own computer which I have managed to Windows XP OS and its faster computer than the one I bought in town when I started the course.The other thing I am happy with is being able to do hexadecimal conversions which I didn't know.I am very excited with the level I have reached now,where everything about OS and BIOS is being unvailed

I started the cisco course in summer 2005 but had a lot of time spent working away and doing nothing with the course. It was only when I was told I get payed that I woke up. I enjoy using computers and love a challenge, reason I'm up to go the full track with this course. I as askd if it was money that made me want to do that little bit more but I can honestly say no. I just want to acheive that little bit more and if the better job comes along I can say I earned it. and I hope everyone that does the courses offered on the skillstrain gets up and goes with it. please don't think my job will do it if it doesn 't.

First of all I want to say that since I started this course Last year I found it very interesting from day to day because it makes me very busy anb gives me the will to search and increase my knowledge in IT and I every time I submit an assignement and get the successfull result in pushs me more to work harder and with self confidence, evn if I always come back very tired from work but I still find the energy to study. Two week ago a freind of mine called because he bought a new PC but he didn't know how to use it and how to install some programs and to organise his files and desk top so I did help him and I was very happy because it was a agood practise for me and gave me a self confident to practice what I gained from the course.

When I started this course I dident think I would do as well as I have with 3 children and no job. I though it was time to get my life back on the rail so someone told me about this course and I gave it a go I'm getting good results and I like do the work and now I have my life back.

Its being very difficult for me in the past to even find time to study and so for a long time I was not doing any assignment. In fact I even called the office to ask them if I can be allowed to drop the course as I was not gaining anything from it. I am a father of three kids which is by UK standards a large family, so I barely have enough time on my own. If I am not at work, Iam helping my wife to care for the kids.

So, how did I do it?

Lately, as you can see, I have decided to fight it through and go through it all the way. I will hasten to confess that without any physical interaction between you and your tutor by way of practice, the course is a bit boring. But I got alot of inspration from my wife to carry on. So here I am, making sure that I send in one assignment every week. What I do is to try as hard as I can to read in advance of my last assignment and then as soon I get my marked assignment, I immediately answer the new one I have been reading. I work late shift, so I read in the morning before going to work in the afternoon.

Thats my story, its determination to go through it and nothing else.

Thanks to this course, during this month I have managed to rebuild three friends computers to working order as well as an older one for my self, despite knowing nothing about computers when I left school. Last week I had my car stolen and even with sorting out insurance and trying to find another car I have still managed to keep reletively on time with all of my course work.
