I have managed to work really hard on this course and pass my assignments despite suffering from fibromyalgia and severe asthma, being a full time carer to my husband who has epilepsy and coping with a recent family bereavement. I have been using the knowledge and skills that I have learnt to help my husband to use the computer.

I feel that I deserve to be Student of the month because: I have finished my last 3 assignments at 100% without having to re-submit, I have acheived this through increased studying despite working as a night carer five nights a week 8PM - 8AM and looking after my daughter when she finishs school at 12PM. I now feel that I am ready to undertake a role within the I.T. industry as all my colleagues at work are asking me to come round to fix there P.C. the worst problem I have fixed is a blue screen on startup saying config/security file missing or corrupt! which I managed without any loss to any data contained on the P.C. my colleagues are also asking my advice on which P.C. they should buy.

I am currently studying for my A+ then moving onto my N+. Im finding my course really interesting and inspirational in the fact that having been so long away from study I am now doing what all teachers used to say I didnt do apply myself. Its tough going like most folk doing distance learning, I have a wife and two boys who require that quality time and two jobs to keep the money coming in while I study. However I have created a good study timetable which seems to be helping as I have just submitted my third TMA having scored in the 90s for my previous two. I only began studying end of November 2006 and feel I have made great in-roads over my first 3 months. it would be a great achievement to be considered for student of month but I know other great guys out there who also deserve recognition for their efforts.

At work, our IT team has moved a critical piece of hardware downstairs. At the same time they installed a CAT5 extender and hard wired the audio back upstairs to the monitor in our control room... unfortunately we have experienced problems with the PC crashing even though it has ample ram and processor power. I found that the network adapter and audio are using the same IRQ line and this 'May' be causing a conflict. I only know this because of the A+ course I am studying and the knowledge I am gaining.
Its so interesting being able to put my study into good use, and gives me more experience in what career I wish to pursue.

I started A+ N+ and CCNA course in January.Having had no IT experience I thought that I would really struggle. I have very much enjoyed it so far and I am now starting my 5th assignment. Having had 100,90 and 80% so far I would like to improve and set a goal of at least 90% average. This course is providing me with a great new start and with hard work I believe this will make a huge improvement to my life in general. Thankyou for introducing me to this course.

After years of non study, and new to this course, I have achieved a 1st tutor assignment mark of 100, which May not be the biggest or best achievement to be listed here, but to someone who never thought it was possible, using these great tutorials, tutors and information, I know my future is looking a little brighter each turn of a page.Thanks skillstrain!

I HAVE ACHIEVED ALL OF MY EXPECTATIONS SO FAR, WITH GOOD RESULTS IN MY A+ 2003 OBJECTIVES, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO WORK FULL TIME AND STILL GIVE LOADS OF TIME TO MY TWO LITTLE BOYS.

I have recently started with N+ beginning January and I am very pleased with my progress. I have achieved a 95% pass average so far and I am now busy with TMA 08 .I have been extremely consistent , submitting TMA weekly.As a father of two and in fulltime employment with a burning desire to change a career I am convinced that my dreams are slowly becoming true.I am positive that in three months time I will be sitting for ComptiA exams which is a major hurdle to put behind and a start of my career change.

I was disappointed with my TMA 03 first submission results. I nearly gave up the Course but deep in the night I rose up sat for 3hours to go through the chapter all over then 3 days after that re-submitted the assigment and made it. This achievement put in me renewed determination that I can sail through the etire Course by sheer hard work.

Again, at the moment, I am quite conversant with the different ports and their functions on my PC and this makes me feel progressive.
I have worked hard and submitted my TMA 04 am waiting to start part B any time now.

Top 

Excellent progress to date, at least 90% score, last three TMA's 100%. Looking forward to result for TMA 07 & receiving section 1, part B of the course!

Top 

I have almost completed my first section upto TMA08 and have achieved Very high standards of results, For me this is very special and I am very suprised by what I have acheived so far and in so little time. I hope to carry on acheiving these standards right to the end

Top 

I have continued with my high standard of pass rate even though I am doing this course whilst working full time in one job and part time in another job. I am completing assignments at a high standard despite finding it extremely hard fitting it around work and motivating myself to keep going. thanks!
