SkillsTrain N+ Course

I HAVE HELPED TWO OLD LADIES WHO NEVER KNEW HOW TO USE A COMPUTER TO BE ABLE TO TYPE E-MAILS, SURF THE NET, TYPE LETTERS AND HOW TO EVEN SWITCH A COMPUTER ON, BECAUSE BEFORE THEY WERE SO FRIGHTENED TO TOUCH A PC BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BITE THEN AND NOW THEY ARE A WHIZZ. IT TOOK ME NO TIME AT ALL TO GET THESE TWO LADIES UP TO SPEED WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY.

AND NOW THEY ALSO TEACH OTHER PEOPLE ALL ABOUT COMPUTERS.

At 30, working as an electrical foreman(sub contractor), overlooking a £5 million project; is challenging enough; dealing with people with vast experience in the construction industry. Daily duties involves dealing with the company office on hourly basis, main contractor site manager, architects, project manager, site representative, quality controller representative, company owner and arranging work four tradesmen; only on daily basis. keeping up with my little girls and my missus, and do some studies through skills train is a challenge but seems accustomed to it, and hoping to achieve more in the near future.

I have been suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome for the last 3 years, being without a job or something to keep me occupied has been depressing to say the least.

I started looking into doing a CCNA as this is the area I would like to work in when I am hopefully fit to go back to work, or maybe work from home. I found skills-train and after speaking to a friendly rep, I signed up that day and got stuck in as soon as I could.

Last month, my health lapsed again, and I have spent most days in bed for the last 3 weeks, the days I could get up, I didn't have the energy or concentration to pick up the study material.

I was feeling a bit better a few days ago, and pushed myself to get the material back out, I was really feeling bad about not doing anything, and have finished my TMA for the unit.

This has gave me a great sense of achievement, and I am looking forward to my result, and moving onto the next unit.

Have recently got a new job as a network technician with no experience thanks to the skills I have already learned in the first few units of my N+ and the knowledge of what I will be capable of when I have completed my CCNA and CCNP

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

In the last couple of months I have been under a lot of pressure with my full time job working nearly twelve hours a day,seven days a week but still manage to do and submit my assignments.when I started the course I knew just a little bit about IT, but has gained a lot of knowledge on the course so far through my dedicated study with the time available to me.

Well for me July has been a real significant month. As for one I have dusted my Skills train resources and gotten back on my study saddle. I will confess to haven been complacent in the past few months and even contemplated cancelling my subscription to the skillstrain programme. Then it suddenly struck me that I joined this course to gain something, Knowledge. And more importantly Knowledge that was going to equip me with vital skills to further my potential.

Considering I am currently enrolled in a full-time Masters programme my adversity, left me mostly disgruntled and irritable. First my academic challenges, then work, then having to search and finally move house( with the right budget in mind). However in the midst of it all I never got around to making that fatal call to Skillstrain admin to say "I am pulling the plug", No! I kept up with my payments every 4th of the month and each passing payment kept my critical receptors constantly spinning, rationalising each payment and justifying it to my subconscious. Then it happened, my computer decided to give me a hand. It would intermittently fail to boot. I was frustrated and the thought of having to go to a technician meant costs, time and inconvenience. Luxuries I just could not afford. Then it hit me I picked up my PC HARDWARE AND MAITENANCE ESSENTIALS manual and I ran the trouble shoot and entered Control+Alt+ Delete . It turned out my power supply was faulty and was able to buy sometime until payday and purchased a better engineered one with the help of an in-store technician and installed it, I am proud to say, all by myself.

Any way the rest they say is detail, as I by that very "divine" encounter with my computer, have sorted my second and third TMAs all in one month: Incredible. I hoping to have two more done in the next two weeks. To think I came this close to loosing it all. Like the saying goes, you never know what you have till you loose it. For me it is you never know what you have till you need it. I am fired up more than ever and I guess all the persistence and keeping faith with my hunches to sign on to the course in the first place, paid off.

After getting 90% on my first test I feel that I have studied very hard to get to that level. I have also been explaining small amounts to my partner and she has started to also get a understanding with the basics.

My partner has just had a baby and its been difficult with a new born around but I have been working really hard to try and catch up with my course over the last month or so, and I am really starting to enjoy the N+ course, probably because its all stuff that I dont know and that I WANT to learn it.

Top 

I have achieved 95% on my first attempt at TMA01 and feel great about it. I look forward to the next one.

I have managed to complete all my a+ assignment questions and I am taking my exam wish me luck
