I LOST MOTIVATION LAST YEAR DUE TO ROUND THE CLOCK CHILD CARE FOR MY DAUGHTER. I HAD DONE PART A OF THE COMPTIA A+ AND HAD JUST RECEIVED THE COURSE OUTLINE FOR PART B WHEN I DECIDED TO PACK IT IN AND LOOK FOR WORK INSTEAD. AFTER 2-3 MONTHS LAY OFF, I FOUND A NEW ENTHUSIASM FOR MY WORK AND DECIDED TO PURSUE THE PROGRAMME AFTERALL, I DIDN'T SEE MYSELF QUITING, OR SHIRKING MY RESPONSIBILITIES. SINCE THEN, I HAD COMPLETED PART B AND HAVE MOVED ON TO PART C WITH VERY GOOD PERCENTAGES ALBEIT I HAD A FEW RE-SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS TO DO. I HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK SINCE THEN, IT IS GETTING MORE INTERESTING, WITH THE HOUSEHOLD CHALLENGES BEFORE ME. During March I attened a practical session in Luton, and I put into practice what I have been learning. This gave me a lot of confidence to know that I can do what I have learnt, also it helped me to figure out what was wrong with my own computer because I came across the fault while I was working on putting the practice computer together. I also had the chance to ask any questions and get to know the tutors, who were very helpful and answered my questions. Also after I had completed the practical session the following week I helped my grandad work his new dell laptop, and configure my friends wireless connection. I was able to do this because I had attened the practical session and made mistakes and learnt from them. In December I Started a new job which involved learning a whole new computer system, with high quality driven targets in my new role of Fleet Engineer for a very larger vehicle rental company which is a small part of a very well known international company, I have still managed to submit my TMA's and study. My out look on life is there are never any problems only challenges. I am currently 3/4 of my way through A+, N+, CCNA and CCNP things have been getting me down recently as I can hardly walk any more and just waiting on further surgery. Anyways enough of the depressing stuff, I think if I didnt have my course work to keep my mind off things as this is a major career move from being in HMS Army to hopefully Networking I dont know where I would be. It keeps me focused on better things to come and it certainlly is a challenge at times but very rewarding when your results come back. So here is to being positive and looking forward to finishing mu course. When I started the A+ course, I knew absolutely nothing about computers. Since studying now for 2 years, in which time my wife and I have had a baby boy and also had an extension built onto our house. In September last year I built my own PC from parts ( Motherboard, graphics card, 320gb hard drive, Intel Pentium D CPU and fan etc). I have only recently become a member of student world and skills train and I think that the help that I have recieved so far for my course and TMA's has been brilliant and has really helped me I have just submitted my first TMA for the forth time and I now think that I have successfully completed it thanks to the teaching department. I AM MANAGING CONSISTNETLY HIGH MARKS DESPITE BEEN IN CHRONIC PAIN Due to this course, I have been the leader in first time fixes since October 2006. I am currently part of a Team of 1st and 2nd Line Support Technicians, but due to the skills I have been learning via this course, I have been promoted to our Internal Support Team, so not only will I be supporting external customers, I will now be supporting my previous Team. On The 13th of this Month I took, and passed both the A+ Hardware and the A+ Software exams --- Yes!!!!!!!!! I have been doing the course for a year nearly and have been consistently attaining high marks for assignments. I have been revising the excellent course material and made excellent progress. Due to the excellent support offered by skills train staff my skills and confidence are exceeding my expectations. Thanks to all at the Skills Train ! I have had two heart attacks since Nov 06 and a 6 week stay in hospital due to the last one. I asked my wife to bring in my work to me so I could continue studing even though I was hooked up to machines all day and dosed on painkillers. I have managed to get 100% in first assignment and 93% in second. I didnt know a thing about pc's now I have fixed a friends pc which had basic problems and I was able to upgrade my own ram and put in a bigger hard drive. I'm doing this course for my family so they can have a better quality of life with the income I will get when I get a job in this field of pc repair and maintanance. I have found I'm teaching my eldest son 7yrs things about the pc as well which is helping him in school I started this course with knowing nothing about computers but now I know something. If I need any explanation on any qustion, the way the tutors will explain, is fantastic, and excellent. They will break it into pieces and pick them one by one and explained I have resumed my studies in mid February after a few months break. At that time I was doing the old version of N+. My tutors informed me of new course, so with their consultation I opted the latest version of N+.
