As I am working in a hotel as Concierge, you can all figure how busy this can be in the hotel business during summer seasons. This June is no exception. You might be surprised if I tell you that I am a football referee too. And I had a fitness test with The FA on 19th June which I have passed with success. I trained up to 5 times a week to achieve that. The fitness test itself was of two parts: Firstly, you must run continuously for 12 minutes and complete a minimum distance of 2500 meters within that time. After 15-minute break, you will then be required to complete two 50 mete sprints, each in under 7.5 seconds. You can imagine that is not as easy as it looks. However for 12 minutes I managed to run the distance of 2950 meters which was the 3rd best result of the day for 70 people. I shall say that wasn't that bad.
Despite everything I didn't stop my course and I have managed to submit four assessment so far. My target is to do 6 in total until the end of June. It won't be easy and I am not asking it to be. I am taking my course seriously. I know that in couple of months I will be prepared to take the first exam and get the A+ Certificate. This will open me the doors to a new dream career.
I wish everyone good luck and believe in yourself.

I have just completed my degree and now am studying PC hardware and maintenance- essentials. I have completed three of the assignments and have got 95% and 97% for two of them. I am waiting to see what I get for the third which I think I completed comfortably. I think coming out of university and doing this course straight away helps as you still are in the studying mood.

Enrolled July 2006 for CCNA/CCNP and started my first TMA in A+ in August. Despite my busy work pattern as a hospital doctor, I've managed to finish A+ and sat CompTIA A+ public exam and had a good pass. Just received certificate 2 weeks ago. Also finished Network+ yesterday. Looking forward to starting CCNA/CCNP part of course. Been very exciting ad looking forward to second profession or change of career!

Having a 11 year old and a 1 year old plus a 2 jobs its hard to find time to study but I alway do fined the time and at this moment in time I have submitted only 2 tmas the first I got 95% and the second yet to be marked so I think I'm doing well and hope to keep up the good work.

I have submitted 5 assignments my lowest pass mark has been 73% and my most recent assignment which I have just had my results for came back as 100% as I knew very little about computers and their workings I feel I have achieved so much in the last few months thanks to skillstrain and the effort I have put into my course so far which I hope to further improve in the coming weeks and months.

When I started my course I was unsure about whether I could do well at the networking section, being more familiar with the hardware side of I.T the thought of protocols and topologies filled me with a profound sense of dread. However I believe that I done well so far and I received the best result in a while for my last TMA with a 98%. I can now say that the sense of dread has been replaced with a sense of mild caution.

First step back into education after 8 years. Have found it quite an achivement to my self to be able to balance a hectic life syle with my 5 children and full time job and still find time to complete 1st TMA.

I think I'm not doing to bad for a beginner as my scores are higher than I expected also I think I'm not doing to bad as I do shift work in my job which sometimes can be hard doing this studying & extra work after a long day driving round the M25 but then it relaxes me from that sort of day.

IT TOOK ALONG TIME TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THE AMOUNT OF INFO BEING TAKEN IN. IN SECTION 2 PART A BUT WITH THREE ASSIGNMENT PUT THROUGH FILL ALOT BETTER. NOT TRYING TO RUSH ANYTHING JUST MOVING ACCORDING TO MY TIME TABLE. WITH NO HANDS ON TRAINING, I THOUGHT I WOULD STUGGLE BUT HAVING REPAIRED A FEW FRIENDS PC (FOR TRAINING PURPOSSES) I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT TO DO BEFORE I ENROLLED ON THIS COURSE. I WISH TO THANK SKILLS TRAIN FOR THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED SO FAR.
BEING A FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER AT PRESENT COVERING HALF OF SCOTLAND. CUSTOMER FACING AND GENERALL PRACTICE IS NOT A PROBLEM. FOCUSSING ON MY STRENGHTS AND NOT SHOWING ANY WEEKNESS WHEN FACED WITH PROBLEM THAT I MAY NOT UNDERSTAND, BUT TEND TO REPAIR THIS GIVES A GREAT SATISFACTION AT THE END OF THE DAY. LONG MAY IT CONTINUE.
