Even though I am working full time seven days a week, I have managed to continue the study and still doing it with very good success. I have done graduation in computers in 2002 considering that I haven't been in touch with computer studies I think I have done great. hope I can continue achieving my study goal and ultimately leading to a lot better job which would be a dream come true for me. thanks.

At the moment I have to work almost 24/7, because I've got 8 months old baby and my wife back to work, so we have to work and look after baby together. But at this time I can manage my time well, I can find time to do my course and on top of that last three months I developed 2 programs for my company, which one of them is helping Restaurants Managers with forecasting and second one they can use for checking cashiers performance on daily basic. In both programs I used Excel and Visual Basic for Applications

I achieved a lot this month because I did put much effort into learning of my extended part of the course and I have almost finished the first half. I did fix 2 computers of my friends and I set a wireless network with linksys wireless router.
I am still trying to get the most of the course so I bought several books in my mother language to understand all the details which are quite complicated or I found complicated. There are some other small things I would like to write here like e.g. I improved my website as far as graphics are concerned. I hope to finish the course as soon as possible so I can find suitable vacancy in IT environment. My computer is on the blink so I will have to shorten this .. thank you

I'm extremely delighted that I have successfully completed the CCNP certification requirements and became CCNP certified.
It has been very long and exhausted journey which started back on October 2004. I began the course with N+ and I was doing pretty well according to my TMA results and in the same time I learned the basics & principles of Networking.
Unfortunately, I have had personal & family problems which drifted me away from pursuing my studying for more than 8 months, however, I always stayed positive & optimistic, knowing that I've got faith on my self & determination to achieve my goal regardless of all the circumstances.
So, back again to study with a lot of enthusiasm and by the end of autumn 2005 I completed N+ and then I started straight away with CCNA Introduction then CCNA ICND, I studied from books for the author Wendell Odom which Skills Train provided me along with their course materials, he is awesome really great author, I like his method of explain things in interesting style.
It took me more than a year and half to complete my CCNA certification, but by that time I was so confident to go and apply the online exam which I passed with score 949/1000 from the first go.
I didn't waste any time, immediately started the CCNP route beginning with Building Converged Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN 642-812) to be honest that was the most difficult exam ever I faced but I manage to pass with 879/1000 from the first go. So, I jumped to the next course The Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI 642-901) I really enjoyed that course and I managed to pass the exam with score 977/1000 from the first go.
By that time I've gained a lot of confidence & the fear, anxious about the exam has disappeared, I also learned how to deal with questions and more important to understand them very well in order to get the full marks.
For the last two exams The Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW 642-825) & Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (642-845 ONT) I studied very hard up to 10 hours a day, eventually I managed to pass with remarkable score, Yes my score was 1000/1000!!! for each exam from the first go!
As I mentioned earlier it has been really long journey & I have learnt a lot of skills in IT and in Networking particularly.
I would like to say that the help & support I received from Skills Train either through Emails, Live Internet Training, Labs or through Cisco Academy was inexpressible and I am extremely grateful for your assistance and advice which guided me all my way through to achieve the CCNP certification.

Hello,
why do I think that I achieved a lot during the last month? Well, I was able to finish my first part of the course A+ and I am looking forward to take an exam in the next weeks in London. I have already started to studying N+ part of the course and I do really like it. I am increasingly aware that my decision to study with Skillstrain was a good decision. When I started to study I worked in night - shift pattern and it was very difficult to find the time for studying but since I have changed it and I do the day shifts it is much better. I prepared myself a special kind of schedule where I wake up in the small ours in the morning and I do learn. It really helps because I have a lot of time to think about different subjects from the Objectives Book during the day so it is very efficient. Last month I helped to my friends successfully( using remote desktop utility )repair their computers and set up wireless networks and protect them with WAP where needed. I was even able to help to set up several computers at work and to sort out a software problem at the hydraulic company where I am employed at the moment. I hope that I will be able to find a computer related job as soon as possible and develop my skills.All studying materials are very beneficial to me and I like to implement them in day to day life. I am originally from continental Europe so I have sometimes difficulties with the language - but since I have started studying I have improved at the language very much. I keep my self testing A+ examination software and I am doing very well. I hope I will pass the exam. So fingers crossed. Thank you Skillstrain.

I have completed the A+ Course, and passed!
After passing the A+ Course, I realised, that I really need to pick up my game and get the N+ done so I could start on my CCNA+CCNP.
So I have been staying behind at work for 2 extra hours, just going though my N+. I have already completed 4 TMAs starting (Possibly 5 by the end of the month.) The results I have been getting from these TMAs have been nothing less that 100%.
I have also been through an Ofsted inspection at my college, which we were inspected on ILT. So even through immense pressure, I have been able to perform excellently. Starting this course, I believe I have turned over a new leaf. I have been more organised : I have created a file with all my notes,tma receipts and, tma results in, for each module.
I have been more self motivated : by staying behind at work every night for two hours.
I am understanding the N+ well and I am enjoying it, which is very important to learning.

Completed and submitted 8 TMA in April and achieved 94% marks (average). I am really happy with this progression as it giving me confidence to reach my goal quickly and successfully.

After a good start on TMA 01 (pass 85%) I dropped like a stone and achieved only 77% on TMA 02. This spurred me on to study harder and also use other sources for study, the result was incredible as I achieved a 100% pass on TMA 03 & TMA 04. I was not only very pleased with these results but I shocked even myself as I had hoped to at least bring my pass mark back above 80% mark. I intend to continue studying in this manner and aiming for the top.

Hi, I am a student from Romania, I study in my spare time,is a good way to learn and if you hope to change your life in the end of the course. When I start this course I found it very easy, I like to study about computer, is like a hobby now for me, I love it. I think if you don't like what are you studyng is beter for that person to do something what he/she enjoys, this is what is that matters for me in this course. I enjoy what I am studyng, good luck to everybody.

Apart from completing assignments 1 to 19 successfully in 3 months I have set up both a wireless network and, having gained sufficient confidence, linked two computers using a hub. In addition I have used both Remote Desktop using my LAN and used Remote Assistance to help a friend. I was not entirely please with the Remote Assistance process as it involves having a third party (Microsoft) manage the link through email to provide the interface. Anyway it was good to finally use another tool within XP.

I started helping people choosing laptops and computers for personal use. My knowledge improved a lot since last month. I work full-time but I organized well my time and I am doing pretty well with my Tutor Marked Assignment.
