Passed A+ in October. since then I have started a new job - repairing printers. I am currently studying network+ and am looking to pass in the next 6 months or sooner. I have done some repairs on a friends laptop and configured a wireless access point and wireless nic.

I have completed TMA 8. I work as a chef, full time, generally doing a 55-60hr work week. I am in the middle of a divorce and dont get to see my children. I use a 3year old lap top the is in serious need of replacement but cant afford. I belive I have worked through a fair bit of adversity just to get this far and will continue to study hard to gain a career in the IT industry.

I completed the compTIA A+ Exam last October 2006. I felt a great sense of pride, that after years of not studying I could have accomplished such a feat.
Now I have my own IT business and I am continuing to study with Skills Train towards my CCNA qualification.

It is surprising how at times things turn out to be. I had no knowledge about the computer. I only used the computer to write my essays and print them out, that was it. Every time I encountered the problems i.e. pressing a wrong burton and the work is lost, rebooting, I had to call my dean of studies who used to help me. Then one day, I was running late with the deadline the following and I stayed late at night to finish writing up the work. I did not put the margins properly and it could not print. Being late, I could not call for help. I was really disheartened and nearly got depressed. Then it came to my mind that, if I knew the computer, I would not be in this terrible messy as I would know the problem and work at it. So in December, 2004, I received a leaflet at my door concerning the computer studies. I was afraid to call but after a few days, I gathered the courage and called. Within few days I was told something was visiting me. I was given a test to see at which level I was in the computer, and I said, I only know how to open and close the computer and write essays on it and print them out. The tutor was understanding. When I first receied the first lessaon, it was a little bit hard and almost gave up. But the fear of calling someone whenever, I encountered the problem was a driving force. Now I am enjoying the course and I am happy that I started it.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE:
Do not get discouraged you can do it. Believe in yourself and know that there are others who have had the feeling you are experiencing. Reading through other people's stories, was great encourgement. It is good to share our experiences that is when you discouver that you are not alone. The tutors are very understanding and stand by your side all the way through.
I am not on TMA 10 and have got the momentum to go on till the end.
If others can then you can too. For "where there is a will, there is a way."

I have been studying the A+ course for just 2 weeks and I have already completed Section 1 Part A and am currently waiting for Part B. I do not have that much time to study considering that I currently work in a demanding, responsible job managing a corporate car hire account for Asda which is a big test for me at the same time. The position is about to end but it has really shown me what I am capable of; to manage this course and the job at the same time.

I have learnt and acheieved more about the ins and outs of the networking side of computers. more detail of the building and maintenace side of computers. and I hope to achieve my goals in this course work.

Last month I installed a PC for my in-laws and connected it to the internet for them.I have also helped them resolve problems they face in using their PC over the phone.

During January I have managed to complete 5 TMAs for my course, while I have been juggling with a new job which is 12 hour days (6-6) on a rotating shift basis (including weekends). I have also been helping my fiancee's eldest daughter with her maths for school (has anyone seen the way they have to do it now?).
On top of this, my ex-wife has told me that my 2 daughters no longer want to see me, as I was unable to see them one weekend due to the hours of my new job, so it looks like I am now going to have legal bills pending for an access case.
Despite this I still made sure I carried on with my course, as I am looking at the bigger picture and know the qualifications I gain (N+ and CCNA) will lead to a better life for my family and myself.
