SkillsTrain N+ Course

My main achievement is my ability to stage a come back to education through the skillstrain after so long time off school. The decision to go for IT training is not easy but I've been able to overcome the fear of getting back which to me a great achievement

I didn't really know anything about computers before I started the course, as I only got my first computer last year. But since starting the course I have improved my knowledge considerably. I dismantled an old computer to get try and link some of the theory in the book with more practical work. I have helped various friends with problems on their computers, such as virus infections that required new protection installed.

I was determined to change my career. I came to know about skillstrain through leaflet in the post. I have joined A+/N+/CCNA course. I manage to submit majority of the A+/N+ assignments in the first attempt. I passed my A+ exam in first attempt with good marks. Since last month I am running a part time small business from home, as an IT technician. I am receiving 2-3 computers per week for repair or upgrade, baring in mind that it is relatively new business, and I haven't promoted it as much yet. I am hoping to expand it in near future through advertising and make it as full time business.

The knowledge I have obtained wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of the tutors at skillstrain. I am looking forward for a bright future after completing my study.

Since ever I started training with skillstrain,I have radiated confidence and attended two interwiew and was successful to the extent that the interviewer said he is going to start recommending skillstrain when I answered the question ;what do you understand by the following HUB,ROUTER & SWITCHES.

HUB is a wiring concentration for a LAN & WAN that provide a central attachment point for the network cabling. ROUTER is a device that operate on the network layer of the OSI open system interconnection which is used to route information from LAN and WAN. SWITCHES intelligent which contains circuitry that very quickly,routes signal between ports on the hub.A communication paradiam in which a dedicated communication path is established between the sender and receiver along which all packets travel.

I've recently been diagnosed with Cancer (Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia) after a regular Eye Test which came as a big shock and very divastating. Im only 29 years old and I thought I had this massive life ahead of me but now its going to be a touch and go. I was meant to go for the second interveiw with a local I.T company but all that has gone out of the window. I've been going through a series of tests and awaiting to undergo chemotherapy which I hope I will respond well to.

I hope I will have less severe side effects to chemotherapy so that I can finish my CCNP and have a long normal life. If you have a chance to read this note, I advise you all to go for regular Blood Tests/Tests so that any irregularities would be diagnosed/picked up early. Sharing this with all of you makes me feel better and wish you all a healthy life. Many thanks to Skills Train for granting me more time to finish my course.

HI, 6 YEARS AGO I WS HOMELESS ON THE STREETS WITH NO HOPE FOR A FUUTURE AND CERTAINLY NEVER DREAMED OF ONE IN IT. AFTER MANAGING TO SORT MYSELF OUT A BIT AND SETTLING DOWN TRYING OUT MANY DIFFERENT COURSES. IT CAME TO LIGHT A FEW YEARS AGO THAT I SEEM TO HAVE A NATUAL ABILTIY FOR PC HARDWARE AND A FAIRLY GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORKING OF PC HARDWARE. I SAW THIS COURSE ADVERTISED ON TELEVISION AND PHONED THEM UP AND THAT'S WHERE IT ALL STARTED.

I AM UNEMPLOYED WITH 2 KIDS AND A 5 MONTH OLD BABY TO LOOK AFTER, I USE MY UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT TO PAY FOR THE COURSE AND WE USE MY PARNTERS MONEY TO LIVE ON AS WE BOTH KNOW THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WILL ALL GAIN IMMENSLY. SOMETIMES IT'S A STRUGGLE TO GET THE TIME OR PEACE TO GET THE STUDY TIME I NEED, BUT I MANAGE IT, AND SINCE I STARTED I DONT THINK I HAVE GOT BELOW 80% MORE THAN ONCE; NOT BAD FROM WHERE I HAVE COME FROM, I HATED SCHOOL AND COULD NOT STUDY, BUT THIS COURSE I LOVE. IT HAS GIVEN ME A NEW LEASE OF LIFE YET AGAIN AND I CAN SEE A FUTURE IN THE WORLD OF IT FOR MYSELF.

THANKS SKILLSTRAIN

Well, after a busy first half of the year I was struggling to keep up with my study timetable and also lead a busy life. I work for a medium sized telecomms/I.T company and have been trying to move more into the I.T side of things, as I believe there is more prospects and opportunity, but this has proved difficult as I do not have the necessary experience they require, that was one of the main reasons I embarked on this study programme and course.

Well, about 6 weeks ago I was on a job in a textile factory installing a new phone line, when the head of Their I.T enquired if my company installed and maintained computer networks and all the associated peripherals, I told him yes and agreed to take a quick look around so I could report back to my company with a basic outline of what equipment was onsite. I got back to my office that afternoon and reported back to the I.T manager of my company, in as much detail as I could, with their requirements. As a result of this and applying the knowledge I had gained through this course, the I.T Manager had a meeting with the textile company, and won a five year maintenance contract. Now, I have a full time position in the I.T department as an ICT technician in training. It has certainly spurred me on and now I can devote that little bit more time to my studies as I am able to study at work.

After months of trying to juggle the studying, homelife, kids and work (nights) I can finally see that it will all be worth it in the end. Just sent in TMA 10 and waiting for the results, still averaging 95% and I actually know that the work that I have done is paying off. I recently upgraded the memory and the graphics on my home pc and it now works like a dream. Actually being phoned up to come and try and sort out peoples PCs (for a fee !!) and I have also got a placement with a local IT solutions firm in order to broaden my horizons in the IT world. Still got a long way to go but I am no longer out of my depth and will be be looking forward to my career change, probably after Christmas.

I sat and passed my CCNA Certification exam 640-801. I am pleased with myself because I acheived a remarkable score of 974. I scored 100% in Planning & Development, Implementation & Operation, Technology and 88% in Troubleshooting. It was a long way because when I started on the CCNA course I had very little knowledge of computers. Then, I could bearly manage to type a letter on a computer. Back then in January 2005 I started right at the beggining with the Network+ Certification. Moving on to the CCNA Introduction and the CCNA ICND. Friday the 28th of September 2007 will remain a memmorable day for me because that is the day I got my CCNA qualification.
Many thanks to all my tutors for the course material and support with my assignments.

I am very pleased with my decision to change my career into IT after having been in Human Resources field for 10 years. After just two months of commencing my COMPTIA A+ with SkillsTrain, I was able to move across to a job as a Junior HelpDesk Analyst.

I now feel more secure in my current role, knowing that only I can stop myself from progressing to a more professionally and financially rewarding career. I could not be any happier.

Thanks SkillsTrain.

I started my A+ course in the middle of March 2007 basically as a novice. I studied very hard, literally every day, and did quite well with my TMAs. When I completed my last TMA, the thought of doing the actual exam was quite scary for me since I had not formally studied in over 20 years.

Anyway I spent a couple of weeks revising and building up my confidence and then decided to book the two exams which would allow me to gain A+ certification. On Tuesday 18-Sep-2007 at 11:00am I stepped into the Pearson Vue exam room and did my CompTIA A+ Essentials and gained a score of 685. Then about an hour later I did the CompTIA A+ 220-602 exam IT Technician Designation and gained a score of 820.

I am very pleased with my achievements up to this point. I am now in the process of applying for work using my newly acquired skills and certification. I have also embarked on my N+ course.

Secured a promotion to Communications Engineer with my employer. Have been given the task of designing and overseeing the installation of a full network system in a New High School that we are in the proccess of building. The CCNP course, and my results, which I was able to show on-line was the main factor in getting this chance.
