SkillsTrain N+ Course

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!

ALTHOUGH I HAVE SCORED CONSISTENTLY IN MY TMA'S I NOW HAVE A FAR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAKES A COMPUTER TICK, THANKS TO WHAT I A LEARNT SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SET UP AND RUN A SMALL NETWORK AT HOME ENABLING MY TWO CHILDREN TO HAVE THERE OWN COMPUTERS. NO SMALL FEAT CONSIDERING I KNEW NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT COMPUTERS WHEN I STARTED THE COURSE

I have recently only started my course to become a network engineer with skills train. I have just received my first TMA assignment mark at 90% which has pleased me very much and give me the drive to try and stay or raise above this level in the rest of my assignments. I have just submitted my TMA 02 and awaiting feedback and begining to study unit 03. I have thoroughly enjoyed my course so far as it starts you with the basics and helps you work your way through at your own pace. It is also great to know that there is a dedicated team if ever you have trouble. I have set a target for myself to try and pass my Comptia A+ certification within 6 months and so far I am on track!

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which has damaged my joints in most of my body. I am determined to start my own business. I am not going to let my illness get the better of me. I am really enjoying the course and want to carry on, I am having a week off for doing some decorating and back to the assignment Monday. I do get flare ups with this illness and I have too rest. The good thing about this course is that I can do it in my own time. I worked through 1 to 10 of the N+ quite well and I will take a bit longer doing 10A and 10B and work harder on 11 to 20. Stress can cause me to have flare ups, this course is really interesting I do not get stressed in any way.

I was really aprehensive about doing an online course and was worried that the support and needed course material wouldn't be there. I was shocked when the course material came through and pleased with the approachable way it was laid out. I knew a bit about computers before and this is why I chose CCNA. Since I have started the course, my knowledge has deepened and I have been able to easily Network various peoples and company's computers. I didn't use to have a lot of confidence before, but now find that I am able to help a lot of people with their computing.

All this has been possible thanks to SkillsTrain, and when I didn't do as well in TMA's as I wanted, the tutors comments really helped. I am nearing the end and I can see a bright future ahead. Go for it, its so worth it.

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.

I started this course in January. I can't beleive I have so much confidence using my IT skills now.

I am really happy with all knowledge I acquired.

Thanks to skillstrain tutors for helping me get through.

I have finished the first part of A+ and I can say that I am very happy with the way it all went. I feel like I have learned a lot of new things and it was fairly easy. I am looking forword to the next part of the course and the other courses as well.

I have gained a much better insight into how a computer functions which I have not had the pleasure of learning about until now. I am finding my course very informative and not tedious and it is a joy to learn so much. Knowledge is good!

First of all, before I started this course I didn't know anything about hardware, but now I can make backups of my laptop and apart from that, I now know much about PCs. I can connect my laptop to Internet without anybody helping me.
