SkillsTrain N+ Course

I would like to thank the tutor team and all those involved. I started this course in February this year and I almost gave up at the initial stage, but thank God I did not make that foolish decision. But after I completed my TMA 08 assignment I was able to install a sound card in my PC successfully and this encouraged me to go ahead with the believe that if I put more effort in I could make it. Now I am more determined than ever before to finish the course and sit for the Exams.

Also I must not forget to mention that some of my friends now call me "PC Engineer because of the lectures I give them on PC maintenance. This course has increased my knowledge and value of PC hardware.

I feel in the last two months I have attained a good level of study as reflected in my marks. I am completing assignment 10 part A as I type my entry. I am delighted that have done so much in so little time, I hope to continue my study program and look forward to the rest of the course. Thankyou Skills-Train

I already finish my TMA01 with 100% of marks and submitted TMA02, and I hope that I will get full marks. I want to finish my N+ certification in about 2 months and I study hard for that and I like to study about computer networking. May be in this month I will finish my first part of N+ certification.

I always try my best with all my assignments and I feel I have committed myself to my work 100% I have got through 7 assignments in a period of time, and feel that is a great achievement and I will give 100% with all my coursework.

I feel I have achieved a lot since I started the course, I initially started my A+ course in 2005 but struggled really hard to find the time to study in between family life and work. Then personal problem seemed to mount up, my relationship unfortunately ended and my step father was taken ill( fortunately he's doing well now). I still persevered and managed to pass both my exams eventually to gain my A+ certificate. I feel I have a greater knowledge now and indulge in pc repairing for a hobby and am looking forward to an interview soon. Many thanks.

New very little about computers when I 1st started, I have worked my way round the course and managed to have a better understanding of computers, to unextent of troubleshooting and repairing some major problems that arise in my personal pc as well as at work.( a good example, today I have managed to deal with a major printing failure at work due to the spooler service being stopped. After several attempts to restart it, an error kept being displayed that the spoolsv.exe file could not be found in the system. I then searched the c drive only to realise that for some reason the file had been deleted from the C:WINNTsystem32. I managed to locate the file in a file which was hidden attrib, then copied and pasted to the system32 and at last the spooler system could now start.) Bearing in mind that I'm still in my early staged of my course,(i.e have not covered some topics) it is a great achievement that I can work around the pc confidently and can explore matters that I have not yet covered in my course due to the strong foundation that I have gained in my course. Not to mention that I came to uk 4yrs ago and could not speak English, so I have combined this course with other major NVQ's eg. English & Businness Administration.

Last but not least, I have manged to get on very well with my course at the same time running my own business(employing people & managing a business) which I started recently.

The month of March has been not good for me.

I had a financial problem and wanted to stop the course. I had to think a lot about my situation. At the end, I realised that Skills-Train is going to help me a lot about my future. I made some sacrifice and I am very happy to continue my course.

Skills-Train helps me to understand Microsoft. Also, the tutors at the skills-Train are very helpful.

I am a new student and have only submitted 2 of my TMA; the first I got over 90% and the other, 73%. Although I have been in the field for quite a while now; repairing and networking systems, troubleshooting and assembling (cloning) systems. I hope to continue to work and study harder to achieve my aims and objectives.

I became A+ certified (on 4/06/07) I have also submitted four tma`s this month from my N+ coursework, where I have kept up a high standard of work with my lowest mark being 90%, I have managed to remain focused on my studies and goals despite my household resembling a hospital ward of late (firstly I sprained my ankle ligaments, then both my children catching chicken pox and my wife having a health scare as well), so time has been of a premium just lately but even by my own admission I think I've used it productively.

In the past month I managed to complete the last few TMAs of my A+ course and pass my examinations at the first attempt, before the 2003 objectives expired. I have also recently transferred a friend's computer into a new case following a faulty PSU and some overheating issues.
This has all been achieved whilst working full-time in a new job as an IT assistant, which I got due to the fact I was already enrolled on this course.
I am now looking forward to continuing with the Network+ material.

I would just like to let people know that on 4/06/07 I became A+ certified, I would never have thought before I started my course that I would attain something like that I always thought that with having a young family and a full time job that I wouldn't have the time or energy to study but I proved myself wrong and I'm glad that I did, I'm now working towards my N+ and after that my MCSA, my best decision so far though was making the initial call to skillstrain and starting out on this new career journey, so if there is anybody out there who are having doubts about is it. Is it all worth it, then the answer is YES !!, its been a long hard and sometimes frustrating road but nobody ever said it would be easy, lastly I just want to thank the whole of the skillstrain team without whom I wouldn't have got as far as I have.

My brother's 13 year old son was getting very upset with his laptop, as it had been playing up for some time. Eventually it gave up all together and would not boot at all. My brother was going to through it away, so I asked him to let me have a look at it. With the troubleshooting & research knowledge I have gain whilst on this course I was able to track down the fault which turned out to be a bad memory chip slot. I put the memory chip in the vacant slot and the laptop came back to life. my nephew was very happy.
