I work full-time as a Customer Services Advisor. I am studying because I would like to eventually work in IT. It is my ambition and I want to pass my N+, CCNA, CCNP as well. I live alone and bought my own house recently. It's been hard but I managed to get through my N+ with the help from Skillstrain Tutors and now working on the CCNA.

I would like to say that support with Skillstrain is super and so is the live internet training sessions. I want to wish everyone who studies with Skillstrain the best of luck for your future success.

Good luck everyone.

After a worlwind six months I have managed to get promoted at work to Venue Partnership site manager at a museum & conference center as Technical Manager being able to use wireless internet systems and putting my college work into practice!!

I have cuerrently been studding under the stress of successfully giving up smoking for the ban and my health as my father recently had to have a triple bypass due to smoking so I swore for him that I would do this!!! and have been 3 and a half weeks without one!

The course I find is getting tougher now and with a busy schedule I am still finding time to fit it all in! I can't wait to complete the A+ and know I am sucessfully on my way to getting were I want to be.

I AM NOT CURRENTLY EMPLOYED IN THE IT INDUSTRY BUT HAVE MANAGED TO PASS MY COMPTIA A+ AND NETWORK+ FIRST TIME.

I AM CURRENTLY HALF WAY THROUGH CCNA INTRO WITH SCORES AS GOOD AS 100% AT TIMES.

Just started the CCNA part of the course this month (July) after completing A+ and N+ (all within a year) and working as well. Sat the CompTIA A+ public exam and passed well.
Did find that part of the course a bit easier to handle because of the printed course material.
I used to take relevant pages to work and can study during spare periods including luchtime.
I find the CCNA part more challenging since it requires hours behind the PC to read the online material from Cisco Academy.
However, just within the firt half of this month, I have managed to complete the first two TMA assignments and just finished the online module 2 exam with a mark of 87.2% (having obtained 100% in module 1).
Looks like long hours in the night for some time but I'll keep up the pace!

I have only recently started a course here at SkillsTrain and I am happy that I am getting high percentage marks on my exams when I am also under a lot of pressure at work doing various taks. We have implemeted a new IT system within the housing association, and as I am on the IT team, I am learning EVERY aspect of the system, where other people will just be learning their little corner of the system.

Learning all this, coupled with trying to do my day-to-day job and teach others the system at work, can be come very stressfull and tiresome at times.

I am happy and pleased that I am able to come home of an evening, relax and then relax again, whilst studing my course here at SkilsTrain. I could be doing the job that I am doing now and then go to college on certain days.

So SkiilsTrain has helped me imensly in furthering my career and I am also looking forward to acheiving all the qualifications that I would like to have.

I have also started to troubleshoot friends, family's and neighbours computers when a problem arises. With the skills that I have at the moment, I am able to do this with confidence :)

I have studied thoroughly this month and I have been through many ups and downs in order to achieve the desired grades on assignments. I enjoy studying the material and I know this learning process that I'm going through will only improve my knowledge and help boost my carrear in IT.

Before starting this course,I had a little knowledge in IT.But at the moment I can proudly say my understanding of IT has improved drastically.
Lately the progress report of my assignments has also being a motivation factor which even urges me on to be more serious with the course.
Am also able to advise my friends on some aspects of networking.All thanks to my Tutor Team and would like to assure them of putting in more effort then I previously did since I am assured of their readiness and willingness to give me all the support I would need.

Am glad, that I made a choice, a choice that have transform the way I think. Since I started this course am convince that the sky is the limit for me. Am willing to go further and never relent. I want to use this opportunity to thank those who initiate this idea for those who can't afford to go to college or university to realise their dream but having and providing this medium through which their dream is being realised is a great achivement.

My three kids my are my greatest achievement. I am a fully qualified electrical test engineer and have revisited college many times over the years to keep up with all the new regulations. I work hard at my job and try to fit in as much study as I possibly can. I am finding that the more I study the more everything makes sense. I am really enjoying the course and hope that one day I will be working in the IT industry.

Top 

Despite a very demanding full time job, and a second part-time job, managing to log in and get TMA's submitted as soon as possible.

I use my lunch hour to study, and test myself using the course book after each unit, as well as trying to remember the answers when completing the TMA on CD.

Simple and informative covering commands and their application in full; good for revision purposes; spoke clearly.

I am currently a serving member of the Royal Navy, based on a P2000, HMS Tracker. We have been transiting around europe for the last month teaching all aspects of naval life & tradition to university students. This is a busy period for all concerned but I have still managed to study for a good period each day & sit & pass a few TMA's which to me is a really good & worthwhile achievement. I thought that I wouldn't have the time or inclination but with a little bit of drive & determination, any goal is achievable. This makes me even more determined to succeed in this course when my workload onboard reduces & therefore my studying can increase.
